Useful for business reports and helps to drill down accounting information

The tool's most valuable feature is table creation. One of the most important capabilities is the supplier assessment reports. These reports provide a balance during transactions, which is crucial for auditing. This feature is not standard in other ERP systems, making it highly valuable. The solution helps to drill down details from sources like payables and inventory, which the accounting department requires.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is table creation. One of the most important capabilities is the supplier assessment reports. These reports provide a balance during transactions, which is crucial for auditing."

"Easy to analyze data by click-through."

"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"

"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."

"The search feature: ability to see the related data."

"The platform's most valuable feature is its associative data model. It allows me to discover hidden data and gain insights that are not immediately visible."

"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."

"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."

"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."

More QlikView pros

Cons

"Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer needs to improve its performance and HTML reports."

"QlikView lacks self-service capabilities, which means users depend on the IT team to make changes."

"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."

"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 improve the speed."

"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."

"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."

"The user interface is old."

"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
