"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts. They're good compared to other tools. We used a free Elastic product, comparatively, this solution is good because of their support, UI, and connecting to databases is very easy."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The report server feature is quite limited."
"You need to purchase upgraded support separately."
"I would like to see integration with Excel."
"They can improve the user interface a little bit to make it more user-friendly. When creating a dashboard, it is not very user-friendly. You have to click on a certain style and use your keyboard keys to move it. You cannot drag and drop it."
"Microsoft Power BI was born native on the cloud, however, it's quite difficult when it has to connect to on-premise data sources."
"The accounting data needs improvement."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."
"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."
"It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
"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."
"Better source data connectors."
"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."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
