Has seamless data filtering and visualization for client satisfaction

One area for improvement is the cost, as it's a bit expensive. The caching mechanism also charges too much if I need to cache any data. Sometimes it takes time to display data, suggesting a need for enhancement in data visualization speed. Additionally, the role-level security is challenging to implement, and it could be improved to allow access control per department more easily.

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.

Pros

"It is fine for basic reporting."

"Efficiency has definitely improved, and the speed of developing analytics and insights has increased by at least twenty percent."

"The best part about Amazon QuickSight is the filtration capability."

More Amazon QuickSight pros

"We can scale it if we need to."

"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."

"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."

"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."

"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."

More QlikView cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable."

"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."

"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."

"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
