Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It is a great platform for third party extensions, has an open API, and there are no black boxes."
"The most valuable feature of Qlik Analytics Platform is its Change Data Capture capability."
"Reporting is a valuable feature of the solution."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The technical support services are good."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"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."
"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])."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
