Has a good UI and drag-and-drop features which makes it easy to understand
There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx. Since most of our team members work with Alteryx, deploying workflows to clients who may not have licenses became a hurdle. Every user needed a license to run the workflows, which could pose difficulties, especially for clients who only needed occasional access for small data analyses. Unlike other software like Microsoft Power BI, which offers free trials or user licenses for basic functionality, Alteryx doesn't provide such options, potentially limiting its accessibility for occasional users. It should improve scalability.

Useful for data visualization and business intelligence
Many of the features in Qlik Sense need to be available and reintroduced in QlikView. I believe many of the features have been added to QlikView after the layout containers were introduced. QlikView used to be a way more customizable tool than Qlik Sense is in the present time. 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. Hiding off the apps in the app overview tab based on the access was a really good feature that needs to be introduced back in the product since I see that, at the moment, there are multiple groups on the tool, owing to which multiple changes on the QMC part is required to handle the solution. Only the person with access to the dashboard in QlikView could have a link to the dashboard through QlikView's hub or access points. With Qlik Sense, one can see whatever is available in the stream. If a user wants to control everything in the product, then there is no need to make multiple changes in the QMC at the individual app level. The aforementioned area can be considered to improve Qlik Sense.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"The analytics are easy​."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"Good data transformation."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"It is a stable product."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The solution is fast."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
 

Cons

"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"Configuration is very low."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"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."
"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."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."
"The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."
"It is expensive for small companies."
