Easy matching and reconciliation of data

The initial setup was easy for the data warehousing concept. But for a person who is new to ETL and warehousing concepts, it may take some time. If someone is familiar with these concepts, they could understand and learn the tool quickly. However, compared to other tools, the UI is complex. It would be helpful to have a better UI and documentation for new users. As of now, there is a challenge in learning the Compose tool for new users altogether. Qlik Compose was deployed on-premises. But the servers, like the SQL servers were maintained on the cloud—the managed instances.

Has robust data governance capabilities and efficient financial alerting features

The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards. Our dedicated data governance team is responsible for setting policies and monitoring data access and usage. Additionally, we have a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and an independent InfoSec team that work together to enforce these policies. This multi-layered approach ensures that data governance is effectively managed and compliant with all necessary regulations. It is integrated with SQL and Power BI servers for executive management dashboard reporting. This integration supports comprehensive data analysis and reporting needs, which was a key factor in our decision. The value of using vCenter lies in its comprehensive data infrastructure management. It significantly enhances our reporting, day-to-day decision-making, and analytics capabilities. Integrating SaaS with vCenter adds value by streamlining key functions and improving overall organizational efficiency. The solution can be considered expensive, particularly due to infrastructure, maintenance, and ownership costs. The long-term savings and efficiencies gained from using vCenter can justify the investment for large organizations. However, the high costs might not be justifiable for smaller organizations with less data and fewer resources. Conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis based on the organization's specific needs and scale is recommended. I rate it an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a stable solution."

"I like modeling and code generation. It has become a pretty handy tool because of its short ideation to delivery time. From the time you decide you are modeling a data warehouse, and once you finish the modeling, it generates all the code, generates all the tables. All you have to do is tick a few things, and you can produce a fully functional warehouse. I also like that they have added all the features I have asked for over four years."

"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."

"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."

"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."

"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."

"It can scale."

More Qlik Compose pros

"The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards."

"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."

"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."

"The technical support is excellent."

"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."

"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."

"The product offers very good flexibility."

"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."

More SAS Data Management pros

Cons

"It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it."

"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."

"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."

"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."

"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."

"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."

"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."

"There could be more customization options."

More Qlik Compose cons

"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."

"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."

"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."

"Integration and cloud migration are areas where we see potential for improvement."

"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."

"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."

"The solution could use better documentation."

"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."

More SAS Data Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."

"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."

"The solution is expensive."

"The licensing model for vCenter is a perpetual license with yearly payments."

"While it is even free for personal use on the cloud, it can be expensive for desktop installations and enterprise use."

"The tool is a bit expensive."
