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.

The best features Tray.io offers include excellent visualization capabilities and a dashboard, which stand out to me the most. I appreciate that it is very easy to convert the data we receive from Tray.io into dashboards from Power BI, which is extremely useful. I would also appreciate if in the future Tray.io provides a way to natively convert the data to Tableau. Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once. As a multinational and very large company, it is definitely beneficial that those of us in the UK can use the same format that colleagues use in India, and the entire data architecture is framed within a trusted system from an established organization. As far as I know, Tray.io has been operating for the last 12 years, making it a very reliable system.

Pros

"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."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"Qlik Compose is good enough; it is user-friendly and intuitive."
"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."
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem."
"It can scale."
"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of redundant tasks that our team performs by approximately 80%, and the numbers are quite significant with the workflows alone, as we are working towards creating and utilizing AI within these workflows as well."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by helping us keep our internal database and this third-party service in sync, and it has really helped us automate a lot of that work because it is fairly straightforward to maintain and develop."
 

Cons

"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."
"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"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."
"When processing data from certain tables with a large volume of data, we encounter significant delays. For instance, when dealing with around one million records, it typically takes three to four hours. To address this, I aim to implement performance improvements across all tables, ensuring swift processing similar to those that are currently complete within seconds. The performance issue primarily arises when we analyze the inserts and updates from the source, subsequently dropping the table. While new insertions are handled promptly, updates are processed slowly, leading to performance issues. Despite consulting our Qlik vendors, they were unable to pinpoint the exact cause of this occurrence. Consequently, I am seeking ways to optimize performance within Qlik Compose, specifically concerning updates."
"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."
"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."
"As our product got more complex, we needed to add more and more complexity to Tray.io in terms of our setup, and that is when the benefits of it being no-code or low-code started to pale in comparison to the cost of making everything slightly more complicated."
"One way Tray.io could be improved, especially for people coming in with no real coding experience, is with more comprehensive error messages."
"I have found that the error management in my main use case with Tray.io is not as effective as we would prefer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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