Data visualization has become faster and flexible and now enables quick multi-source reporting

Qlik Sense is very easy to use, but sometimes integration is a bit challenging. In our case, we wanted to integrate the cloud version of Qlik Sense, and Qlik Sense is not supporting the on-premises version, so we moved to the cloud version. We had a lot of challenges when integrating Qlik Sense SSO with the reports that we wanted to show on our web app or mobile app. There were a lot of challenges along with that, but eventually, we overcame those challenges, and things are working fine now. The integration part is one point for improvement; it could be more simple because I found some complexities with it. The single sign-on part is a little tricky and is not straightforward. We have done multiple rounds with their technical team, and although it got resolved later on, I think that it could have been better.

Centralized dashboards have transformed workforce trend analysis and speed up decisions

Tableau Enterprise helps us to consolidate the data and visualize daily and weekly trends in a clear and centralized dashboard, offering powerful features such as interactive dashboards, real-time data refreshing, advanced visual analytics, role-based access control, secure data, and seamless interaction with multiple data sources and automated reports. This will help us to analyze trends and collaborate across teams and scale analytics across the organization. These features help my team specifically by centralizing all employees' data in one place. This helps us reduce manual tracking and gives us real-time visibility into work from home versus office trends. The interactive dashboards allow quick decision-making, and the automated refresh time saves us a lot, while role-based access ensures data is shared securely with the right stakeholders. Tableau Enterprise has had a strong positive impact on our organization by improving data visibility, speeding up decision-making, and managing reports efficiently. The team can now access and track trends more effectively, and collaboration has improved using interactive dashboards. Overall, it has enhanced effectiveness and fostered a data-driven culture across the organization. The specific outcomes showing this positive impact include speeding up decision-making, which is the biggest impact because it saves us more time. Reporting time actually reduces sequentially since the dashboards refresh automatically. Data security is stronger, and data accuracy has improved, thanks to a centralized data source. Decision-making is also much faster since leaders can view real-time impacts instead of waiting for manual entry.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."

"I would rate it more than nine out of ten."

"Quick reporting."

"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."

"All the necessary information is available to everyone in real time."

"Leveraging and reusability of already existing QlikView assets and knowledge."

"The integration with R & Python for predictive modeling, and possibly machine learning in the future, is very valuable."

"We integrate Qlik as an EU-wide BI tool, and acceptance was never an issue due to the ease of use and user interface."

"The product responds fast for data analysis."

More Qlik Sense pros

"Tableau is saving me time, money, and resources, which I would rate as ten."

"Tableau was able to handle the challenges that we've had, in terms of reporting and analytics, and it's flexible enough so that you can bring in other data and be able to quickly marry that data with what you have, report on it, and be able to tell the story that the business wants fairly quickly."

"This is the best product in this category, among all BI tools available in market; top ranked as per Gartner's Magic Quadrant report."

"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards."

"Tableau has improved my organization in a variety of ways, one of its uses being that of data analysis. A feature I have found most valuable is the ease of use and straightforwardness, in addition to the flexibility of Tableau."

"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive."

"Overall, in my short time using the product, I've been largely happy with the results."

"I'm able to prototype charts and dashboards in hours versus days or weeks with other tools, and it blends disparate datasets together which is awesome for plan versus actual reports where the data is at two different levels of granularity."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."

"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."

"The on-demand report generation button in Qlik Sense currently doesn't work if NPrinting requires Okta verification, which our company uses."

"Qlik Sense requires one to have a lot of technical knowledge."

"Qlik Sense did not improve our organization. Its use was forced by our parent company."

"Currently, we are not very happy with the iPad or iPhone app because it is not working as we want."

"One area of improvement is that it doesn't offer an API for accessing processed data stored in the QED files."

"Better visualization options on charts such as pivot tables, and better control over total lines in the pivot and straight tables without the need to download extensions to accomplish this task."

"As we are a very process-oriented company, we would like to see more extensions maintained from Qlik, because it's a huge budget problem to choose the right one."

More Qlik Sense cons

"On a scale from zero to ten, I would score Tableau Enterprise support at a two."

"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."

"There have been issues where suddenly the site will not respond, requiring a restart."

"ETL functionality is limited, which is both a strength and weakness."

"Add calculated columns in the edit text box like in Spotfire."

"There are more than a powerful tool in the market, such as Microsoft BI."

"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."

"Developers end-up, many times, scratching their left ear with the right hand, in order to make visualizations more powerful, effective or appealing than off-the-shelf ones."

More Tableau Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is a little expensive for the Italian market. Normally, Qlik Sense has two types and costs. The medium cost is around 700 euros per year."

"For personal use, the desktop version of Qlik Sense is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space."

"Qlik Sense pricing and licensing is like that of QlikView. It's on the high side for a small company, but it’s competitive among its peers. Use of licenses (referred to as tokens) is a bit confusing. There is a login access pass for infrequent or anonymous access."

"Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."

"Qlik Sense is pretty good in terms of price."

"You will spend more time on educating your staff than licensing the product."

"Licensing could be cheaper."

"The product is expensive compared to one of its competitors."

More Qlik Sense pricing and cost advice

"For big business, Tableau could be expensive as having a lot of Tableau server users (entering with a browser to reports) could be a bit expensive."

"Tableau's prices are relatively high for our market. I am from Serbia, so many companies in this market don't have the ability to pay for expensive software. My clients are quite satisfied with a lot of Tableau's qualities except for the prices."

"Paying for users you never setup or buying expensive desktop licenses for users who can solve their users with web editing on the server are the two biggest expenses."

"It is reasonable based on what it offers."

"The cost of the solution should be improved."

"Tableau is a little cheaper as compared to Power BI and other technologies that we have used in the past. However, if the business users in our organization want to make presentations, Tableau has been asking us to purchase a Tableau Creator license, and $35 per month is expensive for business users. Power BI is giving a free desktop version for business users to connect to any data source and build their own dashboards. That's why we have proposed to use Power BI for most of the business users in our organization."

"Cost is where tools like MicroStrategy, Power BI, or Spotfire come into play. Cost-wise, Tableau is a little bit costlier than other tools such as Power BI. I have been using Tableau all these years, but about four years ago, Power BI came out at a very low cost. Their desktop version was free from the beginning. Power BI Desktop has always been free, whereas Tableau Desktop is costly. When it comes to cost, people prefer Power BI because it integrates very well with Office 365. You don't have to worry about integration with Teams or SharePoint."

"It is a bit difficult for some people when they hear $70.00 per month, as some solutions are available for less than $10.00 or for free."
