The biggest return on investment is the time saving for the customer.

Sentiment score
6.1
QlikView's customer service is praised for responsiveness, community support, and efficiency, though experiences may vary by location.
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.
I contacted customer support once or twice, and they were quick to respond.
I would rate the customer support a solid 10.
 

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
7.0
QlikView is scalable with proper hardware, though high user counts may require infrastructure enhancements and favor Qlik Sense.
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
7.7
QlikView is praised for stability and robustness, with some resource intensity issues during heavy data processing but overall reliable.
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QlikView's outdated interface, scalability issues, and high costs drive users towards modern tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Qlik Sense.
The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections.
The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system.
It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me.
In QlikView, I believe the improvement that should be made is to bring the costs down, as you'll have to be competitive with Power BI, aiming for at least a 30% reduction to stop the hemorrhaging to Power BI.
 

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's pricing varies significantly, with high setup and user costs compared to Power BI and SAP Crystal Reports.
Some were hesitant to pay $4000 per seat.
Alteryx is expensive.
Alteryx is more cost-effective compared to Informatica licenses, offering savings.
The license cost per user or per year for QlikView is about 500 Euros annually.
 

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, self-service BI, and rapid data visualization with its Associative Query Logic and user-friendly interface.
Alteryx not only represents data but also supports decision-making by suggesting the next steps.
It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets.
The tool also provides functionality for dashboarding, report bursting, and handling multi-currency and multi-language situations.
The best features in QlikView are rapid development, the fact that I can do what I want in QlikView, and full control along with ease of use.

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.
