Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"The solution is fast."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"Provides autonomy for all the business users to develop their own reports."
"It can process big volumes of data fast."
"It has been extremely valuable, to combine data from various data sources."
"Ease of report development is a key feature."
"The setup is pretty easy. It's not hard at all."
"Through the use of Business Intelligence reporting and scheduling features, reports are generated and automatically sent according to a schedule. This has freed up countless hours spent performing the same tasks, month over month."
"If I were to compare it with Power BI and I wanted to build proper well-formatted reports, BusinessObjects Business Intelligence does that much better. Power BI is just getting into that space. They've concentrated more on visualization, which is what the SAP Lumira does. With Web Intelligence, you are able to build reports that users can interact with. They can also do a lot of querying themselves. It is robust in terms of security and integration. It is also quite scalable."
"First of all, visualization tools, productivity, and predictive forecasting are mature."

"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"It needs work with visualization."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform should be made easier for the end-users and the performance could be improved."
"The solution can improve by having more analytical features."
"I really want SAP to focus on the dashboarding side. Based on what I have seen in the past 10 years, dashboarding has captured a lot of markets. Executives at the top-level want data that is summarized, looks good, and tells you a story. That's where Tableau, Qlik, and Power BI have an upper edge. It doesn't mean SAP doesn't give you dashboarding. They do have a dashboarding solution, but Tableau, Qlik, and Power BI are more intuitive and more attractive. I would like SAP to capture the dashboarding market as well, wherein they give at least some competition to other competitors. Presently, Tableau, Qlik, and Power BI are leading the market."
"The combination of Lumira along with Design Studio merger last year still needs development from a visualization standpoint."
"It is limited for us because SAP is shifting toward the cloud, and we can't use a cloud solution for SAP BusinessObjects. SAP introduced a product called PlusTimes one or two years ago and another one that I believe was called Automatic BI. This tool is more powerful than BusinessObjects and other tools because it's provided in the cloud."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is lacking dashboards and this would be the only reason we are looking for another solution."
"The self-service area, or dashboard, needs some improvement. While the reporting itself is great, the dashboard and Analytics Cloud are not user friendly."
"It is not simple to use."
