User-friendly, ensures security and governance, and is accessible on multiple devices
I would like to see improvements in the Qlik Sense SaaS version, particularly in the front-end capabilities. Currently, the visualization options are limited, allowing only basic actions like adding dimensions and measures with restrictions on the number. Compared to older products like QlikView, there is room for development in enhancing the features available on the front end for widgets and visualizations. Enhancing the formatting options in the SaaS component and making it more visually appealing would be a nice enhancement. Additionally, expanding the library with more versatile widgets would be beneficial. While you can add components from a marketplace or develop your own, there is a need for Java front-end developers to handle this aspect of Qlik Sense.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The data certification feature, where the admin user can put a certified stamp on a data source so that other users can know that that is the correct and accurate data flow or data source to use, is a good feature."
"The ability to create custom connectors was useful because you never know, with customers, what platform they want to utilize or what data they have. It gave us a lot of flexibility in being able to bring data in from different places."
"Domo is not a difficult tool to learn. All you need to know is the SQL for the ETL part. You don't need to write much code. That's the great part. It uses legacy languages, like SQL, which is very common among developers who then don't have to go and learn Domo's own syntax. Therefore, you don't have to learn another hard language to use Domo."
"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it..."
"In Workbench 5, they have come up with a very useful feature called Upsert. When you're pushing data into the data set, if the data is already available it will update the data, and if that the data is not there it will insert it. That is a beneficial feature that they introduced in the latest version."
"The dashboarding itself was pretty easy. So both the front and the back end were positive in this case."
"The most valuable feature currently is the self-service BI availability in Domo. I would say the data file fabric solutions where the users themselves are responsible for generating their own reports."
"I mostly see it as an ETL which has many system connectors. It does a good job of ETL."
"Business users have been able to use the BI self-serve model."
"Takes the super features of QlikView ETL capabilities to a whole new level with its new drag and drop feature, and extension capabilities derived from the robust Qlik API."
"All the visualizations have been so valuable."
"All the necessary information is available to everyone in real time."
"With the changing business landscape, it is nice to access Qlik Sense through an external website. As an organization when we use QlikView Desktop, we need to connect to our internal network. We can access QlikView through the QlikView access point but the website has a little different look and feel than the desktop application."
"We began to see how our processes and other team's processes were negatively affecting the bottom line. We were able to provide tips to other teams to help improve their processes."
"This tool not only allows for consumption of the data in a visual way, but also allows the user to modify the question to get new answers."
"It has improved our organization by providing data to decision-makers in a safe visual environment."
 

Cons

"Their organization or client service didn't always keep up... They took on more and more clients and the processes slowed down a little bit."
"I would like to see more dashboard creation options."
"In Tableau, you can create virtually any kind of visualization. Based on your creativity, you can create a visualization on a human body structure, you can create a visualization on anything that you want. But Domo is limited to a few kinds of visualization views: standard things like bar, pie, and some other charts... I would like to see them add new views for presenting the data in the visualization space."
"Their STK is not up to date and you can't access it on their website. They have a private STK to access resources in Domo."
"There's a learning curve before you can get used to the solution."
"The ETL way of storing is not up to mark. You have to rely on the naming convention that you're using in Domo because there are no folder systems where you can collate all your workflows and put them into separate folders. A folder system should be there so you can easily identify how you are working. Once you want to make some changes to your ETL, then you can see the whole lineage, identifying what is there and not there."
"I would like to see more flexibility in their pricing structure. The trend is moving from database pricing to a user-license pricing model. That would be a benefit if they wanted to reevaluate their pricing structure."
"If your ETL runs more than 24 hours, it always fails because we are logging a lot of historical data, and there is a restriction on the amount of data (in rows) that you can run. The technical support has not found a solution for this yet."
"The security rules should be made easier to use."
"The SaaS offering is being enriched quickly in order to attract new customers to that space and encouraging existing customers to make the switch. The Enterprise solution is therefore lagging behind SaaS in features."
"Needs more bookmarking and a data load screen."
"Integrated maps should become part of the Qlik Sense, as opposed to buying an additional module just to power the BI, which has it built-in natively within the application."
"Data modelling automation needs improvement."
"Multi-server deployment: not just cloud, but on premise too, and hybrid. Needs lighter protocols to communicate between the different services and with the clients."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"I would like to see more types of visual elements and better configuration options for additional flexibility when developing charts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"No matter if you're a developer or an end-user, the licensing cost is around $12 per user per month."
"I think it is reasonable."
"The pricing differs from customer to customer, depending on the package."
"For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."
"They've built an "app economy." Some of them are really expensive, so they're not for startups and smaller companies. They're more like enterprise tools. We couldn't afford some of them, because they were so crazy expensive. But if I was working for a bank, insurance company, or some bigger corporation then, for sure, you could justify those prices... It was silly expensive back then and it probably still is, or even more expensive."
"It started out at about $600 a seat. However, then as we started to grow, it scaled that down to about $330 or 3$50 a seat, if I'm not mistaken."
"Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some."
"The solution is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."
"You will spend more time on educating your staff than licensing the product."
"Licensing is quite good, easy, but slightly expensive."
"The license mechanism of Qlik is quite complicated and not exchangeable. Such as 2016, they charge licenses by token, 1500$ for a token / 1 user. 2018: they change to 2 kinds of licenses: professional 1500$ / user, analyzer 800$ / user. 2019: they support subscription with 70$ Monthly for professional, 40$ monthly for analyzers, but for those you’re using perpetual licenses, they don't support acquiring more subscription licenses. The maintenance fee yearly are also high, 20% of the perpetual license."
"We have 20 licenses for Qlik Sense, and it is a special license that allows people in the whole company to use it over time. You buy this license and there are some minutes that can be used. For example, for the users that used only a few minutes in a month, we use this license. All the people have the ability to work with Qlik Sense. However, the number of licenses is not the number of users. The number of users that uses Qlik Sense is approximately 35 people."
"Qlik Sense and its pricing model can follow any scalability."
"Licensing can start to get expensive, but compared to other tools in this space it is about average."
"Ultimately, the cost is low, and it implements fast. The limiting factor is how quickly your staff can keep up."

I  think you should first decide which budget you can allocate for it.You can find "free' tools like Google Looker Studio, which have limited reporting and email capabilities. I assume other cloud vendors have similar "free" tools.Other reporting tools can cost from 10's $ per user per month to 100K$ for a year and more.There is also an open-source tool named Superset
