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."Qlik has a powerful load script that uses an enhanced SQL language which is excellent for loading and transforming the data."
"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 connects very simply to data sources."
"The flexibility of a non-IT developed solution allows for fast to market solutions."
"The flexibility of Qlik Sense and the addition of 3rd party extensions allow us to extend the use of Qlik Sense beyond analytics and bring the platform to the core of our digital workplace, augmenting analytics with workflow, and team collaboration."
"You can build a very nice dashboard and/or report very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"The product is very stable."
"Easy to use."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"I have found that the feature to drag and drop widgets based on the data source, and import them into stories to be valuable. This way it helps the end user to create stories themselves."
"A robust solution."
"What my customers like best about SAP Analytics Cloud is the dashboard because it's pretty good."
"Technical support is helpful."
"I like the product's capabilities. The clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
"Currently, we are not very happy with the iPad or iPhone app because it is not working as we want."
"The only thing I would say that comes up is that sometimes it can be a bit buggy."
"Report generation without the need for NPrinting, which has limited capabilities anyway, would be an improvement."
"The only thing I would like to see is the ability to create a master app that opens when a user creates a new app that has all the master items, colors, logos, etc., that my organization uses. This would help with keeping master items the same across the apps and would make development a little quicker."
"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."
"Ad-hoc reporting capabilities would be ideal."
"The use of APIs is not as friendly as it should be in the first place, especially when considering Python scripts and all other scripts, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The current visualization features feel incomplete compared to what's available with scripting tools."
"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."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts."
"One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved."
"In the live connection model, we can't create calculated dimensions, however, in the import model we can create them."
"Currently only one data modeler can work at a time."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
