Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"It is a stable product."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"The pricing is high."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
