Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"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."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"The platform's most valuable feature is its associative data model. It allows me to discover hidden data and gain insights that are not immediately visible."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
 

Cons

"Error handling."
"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."
"The user interface is old."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"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."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"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."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The upgrades are not easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
