Efficient data warehouse automation with robust features, but may require enhancements in user-friendly self-service options and pricing flexibility for broader corporate appeal
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. When it comes to end users who may lack technical expertise, they are limited to toggling between existing developments. To empower end users to make critical changes without relying heavily on technical expertise, it would be beneficial to introduce more user-friendly features for development and modification. If it could incorporate correlation analysis capabilities into its platform, especially in a user-friendly manner, it would greatly enhance the tool's overall utility and make it an even more outstanding solution. There is a room for improvement regarding stability.

Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work
The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's a stable solution."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"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."
"The process of using Rivery has worked very smoothly for me, and I found the tool very easy to use, allowing me to gain a lot of insights."
"Anyone looking into using Rivery should know it is a great product."
"This solution has many data sources; they connect to many, many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by reducing the need for a big team of data engineers and speeding up the work when we need to connect to a new data source; this can happen really fast."
"The main benefit Rivery brought to my organization was the time we were able to save on development, and by using all these automation features provided by Rivery together with integration to Snowflake, we were able to solve problems."
"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."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by helping me streamline my data ingestion and transformation processes, especially in combination with Snowflake."
 

Cons

"There could be more customization options."
"I don't think Qlik can be used in a high-volume scenario. It didn't work for us."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"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."
"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."
"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."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was unfortunately not so good in my recent data project."
"I think lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"Rivery can be improved by generally investing a bit more depth into the product, mainly in orchestration and specific features comparable to mature products."
"I think Rivery could be improved by having more analytical features inside."
"The key challenges I recall were related to the incremental merging logic, which was not functioning properly."
"As an end user of Rivery, I would like to see it be less commercial for users."
 

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."
