Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."

"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"It is a stable product."
"You can switch views easily."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."

"It's a stable, reliable product."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"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."
"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 solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"Colours used on report objects"
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
