Featured Reviews

VenkateshJuloori - PeerSpot reviewer
A flexible tool that offers an open-source version
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten. In my company, there are around five resources that use the product. My company's clients use the product a lot on a daily basis. I use the product twice a week in my company before I get any call from our clients.
Arjun Meda - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"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 language support is very good."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"QlikView is an excellent tool, though expensive compared to other BI tools, it provides ETL capability allowing the building of a complete data warehouse within Qlik Sense."
"The scalability is there."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
 

Cons

"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"The pricing is high."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"Better source data connectors."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source tool. My company hasn't explored Plotly's premium services yet, but I believe the prices could be on the premium side."
"I only use the free tier of the product."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
