Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is fast.""Associative model - no more cubes.""The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time.""This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed.""Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them.""The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation.""Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools.""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."

"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful.""Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs.""Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful.""Visually displaying data.""Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel.""We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards."

Cons
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality.""Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial.""The pricing is high.""There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns.""Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models.""The tool is expensive in Turkey.""Needs improvement with UI transparency.""The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."

More QlikView Cons →

"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."

  • "The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
  • "It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
