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

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

"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."

"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."

"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."

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

"It can scale."

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

More Qlik Compose pros

"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."

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

"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."

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

"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."

"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

"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."

"There could be more customization options."

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

"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."

"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."

"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."

"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."

"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."

More Qlik Compose cons

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

"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."

"The solution could use better documentation."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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."

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive."
