"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code."

"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."
"By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"The ability to access data from multiple sources in one application. This has been invaluable."
"End users can adjust their analysis with a few simple clicks."
"Obviously and considering that Qlik Sense is a data visualization application, the most attractive feature is the fast handling of large amounts of data and the attractive visualization of the same."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"Showing a miniature version of the chart if the case chart is bigger than the screen resolution allows us to have full context at all times."

"Leveraging and reusability of already existing QlikView assets and knowledge."
"The most valuable feature of QlikSense is that you can capture the data without modifying it and then perform the ETL (extract, transform, and load) process."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"I would like for it to be more of a plug and play with all of the tools and sources. It would make it much easier to use."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"Error handling is an area that needs to be improved."
"Dates. My goodness, working with dates in set analysis can be a nightmare! Much room for improvement."
"More focus needs to be on data streaming/real-time data reporting."
"The only thing I would like to see is the ability to create a master app that opens when a user creates a new app that has all the master items, colors, logos, etc., that my organization uses. This would help with keeping master items the same across the apps and would make development a little quicker."
"The on-demand report generation button in Qlik Sense currently doesn't work if NPrinting requires Okta verification, which our company uses."
"The use of APIs is not as friendly as it should be in the first place, especially when considering Python scripts and all other scripts, making it an area where improvements are required."
