"The scalability is there."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"I have found that the feature to drag and drop widgets based on the data source, and import them into stories to be valuable. This way it helps the end user to create stories themselves."
"All of the modules that we used to have separately in our on-premises solution are now integrated into one platform."
"Easy to use."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is a very good tool. The feature that's most useful for me is the reporting as it can be done via Google Chrome. The solution is also very nice, user-friendly, and easy to build. It's very easy to use the features of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The SKU, the story build all are user- friendly. For the story build one just has to drag and drop it. And for the table, you just need some sort of selections and everything there."
"The visualizations have been the most valuable feature."
"Planning and integration are the most valuable features. It is useful for planning, and it is useful for integrating with on-prem or cloud SAP solutions."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards."
"Tableau's initial setup was straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the most valuable features is that the solution allows users to build interactive dashboards. This allows the end user to modify the criteria or the filtering if need be. As far as for my personal use as a QA Engineer, I really value how extensive their API document support has been."
"We found Tableau has the quickest learning time out of the few other BI reporting tools that we have used."
"I have found the solution easy to use and the interface is very good."
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"Better source data connectors."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"The budget management could be better."
"We are currently working on connectivity with S/4HANA, but we would like to have better connectivity with our legacy systems."
"SAP Analytics Cloud requires a lot of coding and I would like the coding to be somewhat minimal."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"Its integration or connectivity with non-SAP systems, big data, and social media, such as YouTube, LinkedIn, et cetera, can be improved. This is where SAP has limited features as compared to other solutions."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
"Formatting controls could use some improvement."
"If you mainly need a tool for BI reporting, it's not the best option. Tableau needs better abilities to generate simple reports, integrate, create databases, and work with data lakes."
"I think Tableau could be improved with cheaper or more flexible licensing, though this is a generic improvement and applies for any product. It would be better if they had more flexible payment and licensing plans so that they could suit small- and mid-sized organizations."
"If I have to develop any, for example, pie charts, I can develop them just fine. However, if I have to develop a donut chart, that I cannot do it in a simple way. There are tricks that I need to use if I have to design a donut chart. It should be more flexible and provide more visualization options."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"The process of embedding the dashboards on external portals and websites could be improved."
"It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy."
