A flexible tool that offers an open-source version
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten. In my company, there are around five resources that use the product. My company's clients use the product a lot on a daily basis. I use the product twice a week in my company before I get any call from our clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"You can switch views easily."
"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."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"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."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"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."
"Error handling."
"QlikView lacks self-service capabilities, which means users depend on the IT team to make changes."
"The product's visual capabilities could be improved. The graphs and visualizations are not as aesthetic or easy to create."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source tool. My company hasn't explored Plotly's premium services yet, but I believe the prices could be on the premium side."
"I only use the free tier of the product."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"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."
"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
