Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has allowed us to manage our staff more effectively and frees up time for our analysts to analyze new problems and opportunities."
"My organization now has data from disparate systems at their fingertips in a way that lets them get the answers they need when they want it."
"Self-service use of the desktop version with the ability to port applications into the server environment."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"The associative searching and filtering capability is a unique feature among other BI tools, and one does not need to deeply understand the underlying data."
"Set analysis is a powerful scripting functionality which calculates complex queries into simple terms."
"Some of the valuable areas of this solution include producing individual reports and closing the gap."
"It allows you to create a new column using split on a current column, which we find very useful."
"The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"It is scalable."
"The tool's most valuable features are the BI and planning functionalities. I value being able to integrate smart planning with BI for analysis. The solution is user-friendly."
"The SKU, the story build all are user- friendly. For the story build one just has to drag and drop it. And for the table, you just need some sort of selections and everything there."
"A robust solution."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"Easy to use."
"I am starting to work with Qlik Sense SaaS these days. This environment has its own reporting service, however, one of the things that could be better for the people that are already using Nprinting, is to have a Nprinting in SaaS."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"A valuable improvement for this solution would be the enabling of us to host dashboards for our customers."
"There is room for improvement in the learning curve when getting started, but training resources have been growing."
"There is room for improvement in the storytelling mode and the report sharing. Qlik Sense also does not have a subscription base like Power BI. So a lot of the analysis is housed in community pages that are managed by either the author or a database administrator, or whoever the Qlik Sense manager is there."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"Ultra-customization: It needs no limits on which charts can have x amount of dimensions, y amount of measures, z amount of color expressions, etc."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The budget management could be better."
"The connection works only for importing data. Currently, there is no real-time integration between SAP Analytics Cloud and CRM. There are some features present in the classic but not in the optimized version. If I need to create something specific, I often have to switch the versions. It would be more convenient to have a single product that incorporates all the necessary features."
"We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credit in the market."
"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The security, authorization, and live connection to the back-office system features can be improved. A business analyst colleague who creates complex financial management reports has mentioned that he wants to see more fact and visualization features. It would be helpful to have more visualization features to be able to prepare more stories or reports for executives. For example, Tableau has some visualization features that are not present in this solution."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
