An easy-to-deploy solution with a variety of use cases and excellent reporting features

The initial setup is quite simple. The setup and integration with the customers can be done fast. The deployment method depends on the industry. It can be deployed on-premises and on the cloud. Banking customers request to have the product deployed on-premise. We have around 50% of the product on-premise and 50% on the cloud.

Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively

RStudio Connect ( /products/rstudio-connect-reviews ) is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME ( /products/knime-reviews ) allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reporting is a valuable feature of the solution."

"The most valuable feature of Qlik Analytics Platform is its Change Data Capture capability."

"It is a great platform for third party extensions, has an open API, and there are no black boxes."

"Qlik offers you all the features needed to extract the raw data from the source systems including an ETL layer to transform the data and to connect the multiple data sources into one data model, easy data sharing, security and scaling features, dashboards, and report functionality to share your data with your end-users."

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."

Cons

"It would be great if decentralized teams would have more features to manage the metadata on the dashboards, setup the specific user access rights and rules to govern incoming and outgoing data sets from/to other teams, and more features to separate the different data process layers (e.g. extraction, transformation [data quality, business rules])."

"The user experience needs to be improved."

"One area where Qlik Analytics Platform could be improved is in providing better support for batch processing and traditional ETL workflows."

"More freedom for custom visuals and dashboard creation would be an improvement."

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is the most expensive tool."
