Room For Improvement

Entrinsik Informer users seek better customization, integrations, user-friendly interfaces, training, and performance improvements, highlighting report and security challenges.
QlikView's outdated interface, scalability issues, and high costs drive users towards modern tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Qlik Sense.
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

Entrinsik Informer provides cost-effective licensing and maintenance options, making it appealing to enterprise users seeking competitive pricing.
QlikView's pricing varies significantly, with high setup and user costs compared to Power BI and SAP Crystal Reports.
The license cost per user or per year for QlikView is about 500 Euros annually.
 

Valuable Features

Entrinsik Informer offers easy report customization, security, multi-database support, real-time dashboards, and user-friendly interfaces for efficient data handling.
QlikView offers dynamic dashboards, self-service BI, and rapid data visualization with its Associative Query Logic and user-friendly interface.
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.
