Easy matching and reconciliation of data
The initial setup was easy for the data warehousing concept. But for a person who is new to ETL and warehousing concepts, it may take some time. If someone is familiar with these concepts, they could understand and learn the tool quickly. However, compared to other tools, the UI is complex. It would be helpful to have a better UI and documentation for new users. As of now, there is a challenge in learning the Compose tool for new users altogether. Qlik Compose was deployed on-premises. But the servers, like the SQL servers were maintained on the cloud—the managed instances.

Data pipelines have become streamlined and now connect diverse sources with strong support
How Rivery can be improved is a challenging question, but I think something with the graphics could be better because when there is a lot of code inside, it needs to be more user-friendly. I am not talking about the source-to-target, but when we implement a lot of code, you need a different visual of how you use it, such as what you see in DBT. There is a problem where sometimes I run a river and something in the UI does not get refreshed because I think of browser cache limits, which is annoying. I always need to refresh, and then I am not sure, so I have to go inside the river and look in the log to see if it has finished or not, which takes my time. At the end of the day, when I am running the river, I need it to be done before I go to the next step. Something in the UI could work more smoothly to show it easily. I am not sure why it happens, and I am not sure if there is a solution for it, but if it could be more clear, that would be very nice, such as sending an email once the river is really done.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"I like modeling and code generation. It has become a pretty handy tool because of its short ideation to delivery time. From the time you decide you are modeling a data warehouse, and once you finish the modeling, it generates all the code, generates all the tables. All you have to do is tick a few things, and you can produce a fully functional warehouse. I also like that they have added all the features I have asked for over four years."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."
"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."
"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by helping me streamline my data ingestion and transformation processes, especially in combination with Snowflake."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to create a stable pipeline, and we can expand the variety of the data sources as we go very easily, with no worries, and with a lot of confidence in the fact that it can be done."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
 

Cons

"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."
"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."
"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was unfortunately not so good in my recent data project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
