"There are two tools inside BusinessObjects' schematic layout called the Universal Design Tool and Information Design Tool. These are the most powerful tools that set BusinessObjects' reporting from other solutions. If my organization has 300 or 400 tables, I can combine all of them into one universe, and everyone can use that. It is just a schematic layout that does not hold any data but the table relationships."

"I like the solution's web version, more so than Power BI's web version. It just makes it easier to drag and drop things and to blend data on the backend. It simplifies the process."
"I have found the solution easy to use and the interface is very good."
"The solution is being delivered to our customer, who appreciates the insights generated from the reports. It is easy for them to drill into the details and use interactive charts."
"The product’s performance is better than other tools."

"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."

"This solution is weak in the data science perspective. I have past data science experience. And, I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of incorporating more advanced statistical modeling into the product."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."

"It is not simple to use."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."

"The interface can be improved, in part because there is no indication that something is running or that it's processing."

"The data preparation could integrate better with Tableau."
