"The language support is very good."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The scalability is there."
"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."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"SQL Server is a stable product."
"If you need to, you can scale the solution very easily."
"There is no lack of features."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"You could have an offsite and an onsite, and if the onsite goes down, the offsite picks it up. I like that flexibility to provide continuing operations."
"can extract data from the server and store it in a local data source for BI purposes."
"SQL is stable."
"The features that we have found the most valuable are reliability, availability perspective, and current scalability."
"The user interface is old."
"The solution is quite costly."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"The pricing is high."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Our biggest problem with SQL Server is latency. The communication between the cloud and the on-premises environment is slow. The data needs to be encrypted for security, and you have to exchange data certificates between environments. You can adjust the configuration to improve performance, but it would be nice if SQL Server had some templates to resolve problems."
"Its support for JSON should be improved. It does support JSON, but the support is not good enough currently. They should also improve the way indexes work. Its performance can also be improved because sometimes it becomes very slow for certain table designs. It cannot have more than a certain amount of data. As compared to other databases, its capability to handle large volumes of data is not very good."
"In the next release, I would like to see a better user interface and a familiar syntax."
"The solution’s pricing and integration could be improved."
"The documentation could be much better. It's lacking right now. If there are better help pages, for even complicated queries and stuff like that that would be quite a help for users."
"I would like to see SQL Server add the ability to write to multiple sites or support replication between multiple sites at the transaction level."
"SQL Server is an expensive solution"
"They could improve the solution by allowing more portability between on-premise and the cloud."
