Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to design complex data models and equations.""The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources.""I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts.""The solution is free so that is a good feature.""I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility.""Data Studio integrates seamlessly with other Google products, and we can use it with other APIs if we like.""This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves.""Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation."

"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals.""The solution is fast.""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.""The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools.""Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools.""It is a stable product.""This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed.""Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."

Cons
"Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI."

"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side.""This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help.""I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields.""The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning.""They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code.""Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models.""I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase.""Error handling."
