Qlik Compose vs Upsolver comparison

"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."

"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 most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."

"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."

"One of the most valuable features of this tool is its automation capabilities, allowing us to design the warehouse in an automated manner. Additionally, we can generate Data Lifecycle Policies (DLP) reports and efficiently implement updates and best practices based on proven design patterns."

"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 can scale."

"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."

"A specific outcome that highlights these benefits is that the time to onboard new sources is reduced from weeks to days, custom Spark code reduction reached 50 to 40 percent, pipeline failures are reduced by 70 to 80 percent, and data latency is improved from hours to minutes."

"It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."

"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."

"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."

"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."

"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."

"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."

"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."

"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."

"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."

"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."

"Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future."

"There is room for improvement in query tuning."

"I think that Upsolver can be improved in orchestration because it is not a full orchestration tool."

"On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"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."

"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."
