Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The language support is very good.""Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models.""One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running.""E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts.""It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities""Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features.""The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept.""You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."

"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data.""There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes.""​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff.""It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud.""I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful.""The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources.

Cons
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense.""The user interface is old.""The solution is quite costly.""They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients.""More/newer visualisation components need to be added.""Needs improvement with UI transparency.""It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data.""QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."

More QlikView Cons →

"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
  • "It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
