User-friendly solution but data modelling could be simplified
So far, it looks stable for us. One other good thing is that the platform is software as a subscription, and Oracle regularly releases updates. They are quarterly and are fairly updated; they don't really introduce any new features without informing customers in advance about the upcoming releases. So they're constantly improving it, and there is a regular upgrade. I'm like, "You know, you need to do a version upgrade and optimize. Maybe we do it once in three years or five years." But the cloud solution is where there are constant updates and ticketing releases every quarterly. So that's something which is very good. You don't have to wait for, you know, the version upgrades or something where the new features are expected only in the new version and whatever it is here. It is continuous development and also continuous releases of new features. That's something good in terms of their cloud solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."
"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"The language support is very good."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"You can switch views easily."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
 

Cons

"Quality of support varies."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"They could improve the update time."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"The solution is quite costly."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"Better source data connectors."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"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."
"It needs work with visualization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle products are always going to be on the higher end of your price scale. You have to kind of accept that going in."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other products."
"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
