Rapid development and flexibility transform commercial decision-making processes

In QlikView, I believe the improvement that should be made is to bring the costs down, as you'll have to be competitive with Power BI, aiming for at least a 30% reduction to stop the hemorrhaging to Power BI, considering that you're losing a lot of customers to Power BI. Reducing costs is the main improvement needed, as this is the biggest burden currently faced in the South African market, with Microsoft converting QlikView customers due to the perceived cost reduction. I am aware of several big corporations, such as Sanofi and Aspen Pharmacare, which have left QlikView due to cost issues.

Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively

RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's pretty easy to deploy."

"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."

"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."

"We can scale it if we need to."

"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."

"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."

"The search feature: ability to see the related data."

"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."

More QlikView pros

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."

Cons

"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."

"The product's visual capabilities could be improved. The graphs and visualizations are not as aesthetic or easy to create."

"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."

"It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView."

"The tool is expensive in Turkey."

"Reducing costs is the main improvement needed, as this is the biggest burden currently faced in the South African market, with Microsoft converting QlikView customers due to the perceived cost reduction."

"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."

"The user interface is old."

More QlikView cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive for small companies."

"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."

"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."

"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."

"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."

"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."

"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."

"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
