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.

A scalable and stable product that enables users to set properties dynamically
The solution is used mainly for reporting purposes. We generate PDFs, which are delivered to the recipient via email We can set any property dynamically. We have to use different currencies. Sometimes, we use the pound sign. Sometimes, we use the dollar sign. Our software is a multi-currency…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can bring data from multiple sources and easily blend it in Qlik and create a data model (star schema)."
"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."
"My organization now has data from disparate systems at their fingertips in a way that lets them get the answers they need when they want it."
"I would rate it more than nine out of ten."
"Qlik Sense is much more user-friendly and easier to read then QlikView."
"We have had an easy time supplying content to our customers."
"Time-saving efficiencies have translated into genuine bottom-line improvements via the reduction in FTE."
"It doesn't retrieve the data from data sources when I need it on the dashboard; instead, it quickly provides the desired data, making it very fast compared to other BI tools."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
 

Cons

"Technical support requires improvement. I would rate it around three out of ten. Basically, I think they lack in the support system."
"Qlik application automation needs additional work and features."
"Branding is not the product's strongest point. More control over the presentation colors would be great. A basic printing function would also be good. Easy connection to external tools like R Server would be nice."
"The reporting solution recently added to the latest Cloud version, since December or January, is not fully developed. The ability to use tabular reporting, like in dashboards, would be a great feature."
"This solution would be improved by adding some Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) components that are easier to interpret and design."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"Some of the charts are still a bit basic and screen rendering on different sized monitors can be an issue."
"I would like to see more native features from QlikView integrated into Qlik Sense."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"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."
"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"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

"Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."
"Costs are a little high on the license/token side. However, if you look at the TCO, it is not too bad, particularly against Power BI."
"Licensing could be cheaper."
"Qlik Sense and its pricing model can follow any scalability."
"I would rate Qlik's pricing four out of five."
"Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."
"The new licensing model is much better."
"I believe pricing is similar to other products in the same category, if you have it on-premise."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is a little bit 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…
