Interactive visualization improves decision-making for managers
Actually, I don't have any specific ideas. The last time I built a report for the IT team to monitor their process was about a year ago. They received requirements and tracked progress, measuring how they processed tasks. Power BI offers better pricing compared to Qlik Sense. Qlik Sense has better performance, particularly in its archival system. However, Power BI has better visualizations and interactions with updates in 2023 that provide ease of use. Power BI is more user-friendly than Qlik Sense.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For a deployment scenario, Qlik Sense is also very easy to use. I can start development from any platform, on-premise or cloud, and continue from where I left off."
"We have found the use of AI to be the most valuable feature."
"It has high performance when interacting with dashboards and reports."
"Qlik Sense is essentially a web-based tool even though it's on-prem – you're working off an HTML page – so it's pretty quick. Your processing speed does not matter because you're using a lot of stuff through the web. That's great because it brings down the cost in regards to hardware."
"The Qlik Sense cloud insights advisor helps our business users to get the answers to their data questions so that they do not have to rely on IT/BI resources every time they have some data request."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile platform."
"This tool not only allows for consumption of the data in a visual way, but also allows the user to modify the question to get new answers."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
 

Cons

"The next version should include more standard integrations."
"The augmented intelligence features don't work well for the analytical user."
"Right now, it is complex and you have to understand the data model prior to analyzing it, so basically I would like to see an integration with Excel in the future."
"It's going to take 20 to 30 minutes to refresh sometimes."
"There is not much information available. It is not a mainstream tool that many companies use, so if you are doing something that has not been done before, you can find it challenging to get an answer."
"Qlik has a fast learning curve due to great online training resources (Qlik continuous classroom), but those are lacking the advance features like building extensions and using the API."
"A valuable improvement for this solution would be the enabling of us to host dashboards for our customers."
"Ability for the administrator to approve Community Sheets in the QMC and then move them into base sheets."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."
"It is a little expensive for the Italian market. Normally, Qlik Sense has two types and costs. The medium cost is around 700 euros per year."
"You will spend more time on educating your staff than licensing the product."
"The cost is not bad considering the flexibility and support you receive from Qlik. I believe it is worth the cost."
"Understand the break over price point for switching to the Enterprise license."
"Licensing can start to get expensive, but compared to other tools in this space it is about average."
"Ultimately, the cost is low, and it implements fast. The limiting factor is how quickly your staff can keep up."
"I believe pricing is similar to other products in the same category, if you have it on-premise."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

Jaspersoft vs. Pentaho – Which one to use & is there any need to purchase the commercial edition
Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same…
