"Allowing the users to be able to take snapshots and create their own story without ever leaving the application is a very good feature."
"The Nprinting is useful."
"The visualizations are good and keep improving."
"The most valuable features are that Qlik has a very strong ATL available and the capacity to handle large volumes of data."
"The data is incredibly easy to share with colleagues."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are its speed and seamless development of web technologies."
"The Smart Predict, Smart Insights, and Smart Discovery predictive analysis features are quite good."
"The most useful feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is planning because it helps users with making predictions and forecasts. Clients can forecast, make data allocations, and other actions. The solution is useful for planning."
"A robust solution."
"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."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"In the most recent release, the schedule publication was officially updated and it's been added on MS Office 365. I like how we had an EPM for B to C perspective; it's a great enhancement. Also, I believe the B to B connectivity has been improved. Android support for mobile is really good also. Power BI has always had android support in place, so manual support for SAP Analytics Cloud is also a very good feature."
"The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time."
"The new Application Design option offers lots of customization options by being able to script in Typescript (similar to Javascript)."
"We have faced some issues with NPrinting, so I feel there is some improvement needed such that it would allow the use of variables and calculative fields from Qlik."
"In my opinion, collaborative development of the Qlik Apps is a bit tricky and difficult in the Qlik Sense Cloud."
"More focus needs to be on data streaming/real-time data reporting."
"From the initial setup of the product we had some struggles getting connections to some of our databases to function, this indicated that some of the data extract drivers can be improved and addition of some of the older database engines need to be added in Qlik Sense."
"There is room for improvement in the learning curve when getting started, but training resources have been growing."
"Qlik Sense could include additional features for data preparation and integration, making it easier for users to clean, transform, and integrate data from various sources."
"Moving forward I would like to see more features that are currently available in QlikView, such as being able to better customize coloring within charts. I would also like to see the ability to add calculated dimensions to the selections tool in the page."
"Possibly offering some more basic, simpler templates."
"Improvements are coming quarterly whereas previously it was on a monthly basis."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate."
"What could be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is integration, particularly in terms of extracting data from the source system. Currently, its data extraction mechanism doesn't have good integration and needs improvement."
"There is plenty of room for improvement. They have different products, and you need to integrate all of them to have one functionality. For example, data extraction happens in Datasphere. Then it would be best if you had some connection between the Datasphere and the SAP Analytics Cloud to get the data, as this is causing headaches sometimes. The knowledge base and Jedox also could be more meaningful. I have tried to search for some specific knowledge base and technology base, and I didn't find them. I have learned it by trial and error. There is room to improve the integrations between the different products. The AFS, and the Data action, need improvement. Sometimes they release new tools and updates, but not in my area."
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is."
