Find out in this report how the two Embedded BI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"The scalability is good."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
