Alteryx users report high ROI and efficiency improvements within months, with faster workflows and cost savings over alternatives.

Measuring QlikView's ROI is difficult; users note efficiency and insights, yet licensing expenses and quantification challenges persist.

QlikView customer service is praised for its responsiveness and efficiency, aided by an active community and technical support.
I contacted customer support once or twice, and they were quick to respond.
The customer service was not good because we weren't premium support users.
Customer support is good since I've had no issues and can easily contact representatives who respond promptly.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Alteryx is praised for smooth scalability, efficient data management, integration flexibility despite noted high scaling costs by some.
Sentiment score
6.9
QlikView efficiently handles large data sets and scales well, though it requires substantial resources for medium to enterprise-level deployments.
Alteryx is scalable, and I would give it eight out of ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Alteryx is praised for stability and speed with minor issues, excelling in data processing over competitors but needing cloud improvements.
Sentiment score
7.6
QlikView is stable and reliable, with minor issues arising mainly from hardware limitations and intensive data operations.
I didn't need to reach out to Alteryx for support because available documents usually provide enough information to resolve issues.
I have not encountered any lagging, crashing, or instability in the system during these three months of usage.
 

Room For Improvement

Alteryx should enhance visualization, integration, pricing, and support to improve accessibility and usability for non-technical users.
QlikView needs better scalability, visualization, user interface, self-service flexibility, mapping, predictive analytics, mobile responsiveness, and easier data modeling.
The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system.
The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections.
It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me.
 

Setup Cost

Alteryx's high pricing, ranging from $5,000 to $80,000 annually, offers discounts for multi-year subscriptions and justifiable ROI for larger firms.
QlikView pricing includes server setup and user licenses, with costs varying by license type; careful planning can optimize investment.
Alteryx is more cost-effective compared to Informatica licenses, offering savings.
Some were hesitant to pay $4000 per seat.
It has a fair price when considering a larger-scale implementation.
 

Valuable Features

Alteryx provides user-friendly drag-and-drop analytics, supporting complex data tasks with strong integration and advanced features for diverse industries.
QlikView offers dynamic dashboards and scalable self-service reporting with fast data integration for real-time analysis and visualization.
Alteryx not only represents data but also supports decision-making by suggesting the next steps.
Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter.
It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets.

Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
Arjun Meda - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for data visualization and business intelligence
Many of the features in Qlik Sense need to be available and reintroduced in QlikView. I believe many of the features have been added to QlikView after the layout containers were introduced. QlikView used to be a way more customizable tool than Qlik Sense is in the present time. Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times. Hiding off the apps in the app overview tab based on the access was a really good feature that needs to be introduced back in the product since I see that, at the moment, there are multiple groups on the tool, owing to which multiple changes on the QMC part is required to handle the solution. Only the person with access to the dashboard in QlikView could have a link to the dashboard through QlikView's hub or access points. With Qlik Sense, one can see whatever is available in the stream. If a user wants to control everything in the product, then there is no need to make multiple changes in the QMC at the individual app level. The aforementioned area can be considered to improve Qlik Sense.
