We performed a comparison between Qlik Sense and SAP Analytics Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Quick reporting."
"Time-saving efficiencies have translated into genuine bottom-line improvements via the reduction in FTE."
"From siloed reports, we went to a centralized knowledge hub, combining cross-functional data, and helping decision-makers see the data as a whole, therefore making more informed decisions."
"The ETL component allows us to pull from many different sources, making pulling data in easy."
"It offers good control. Loading the logs is also a good thing."
"The Nprinting is useful."
"We can bring data from multiple sources and easily blend it in Qlik and create a data model (star schema)."
"End users can adjust their analysis with a few simple clicks."
"Considering the reporting part, I rate the tool a nine out of ten."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is easy to create charts with, and is a stable business intelligence platform. Easy to set up solution."
"I would recommend this solution for companies that are SAP dependent with users working in this environment."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products."
"It is scalable."
"The visualizations have been the most valuable feature."
"The SKU, the story build all are user- friendly. For the story build one just has to drag and drop it. And for the table, you just need some sort of selections and everything there."
"The user interface is quite good for developing reports out of models."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"The scripts available in the solution are not great."
"I would like to have the ability to better customize the visuals including changing fonts, sizing, colors, axes, and titles."
"The solution needs to make improvements to the licensing model. They need to make it more affordable at scale, and to make it more affordable for those companies at the low end of the market as well."
"Some of the charts are still a bit basic and screen rendering on different sized monitors can be an issue."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"Multi-server deployment: not just cloud, but on premise too, and hybrid. Needs lighter protocols to communicate between the different services and with the clients."
"The QMC needs more work. Some of the features should be available directly from the hub. Too many duplicates/publish. Intelli-sense when loading a stored qvd would help so much with remembering column names. The pop-up windows are too small when working in the QMC."
"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios."
"An area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is its planning feature because it's not that efficient when compared to BPC. Another area for improvement in the solution is the difficulty in building reports or dashboards, particularly if you don't have proper knowledge of the BI system. SAP Analytics Cloud technical support also needs improvement."
"I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics."
"One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"The connection works only for importing data. Currently, there is no real-time integration between SAP Analytics Cloud and CRM. There are some features present in the classic but not in the optimized version. If I need to create something specific, I often have to switch the versions. It would be more convenient to have a single product that incorporates all the necessary features."
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
