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."Qlik Sense makes it very easy to build interactive presentations for meetings."
"This tool not only allows for consumption of the data in a visual way, but also allows the user to modify the question to get new answers."
"We can generate various graphs, various reports and we can mainly use it for dashboard related things. We can create a dashboard with live data and we can make decisions based on this information,"
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The extensibility of the Platform with either internally created extensions or the use of third-party provided items really opens the platform up."
"We have had an easy time supplying content to our customers."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop reporting."
"It automates recurring processes to save time and money."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"They need to keep it as simple as possible but include as much advanced functionality as possible by positioning all the objects on the page, changing colors for all the objects, improving sheets actions, etc."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"Integrated maps should become part of the Qlik Sense, as opposed to buying an additional module just to power the BI, which has it built-in natively within the application."
"There is an inability to effectively manage (pre)caching (scheduling, assigning for respective user groups, etc), especially without community extensions or uour own development."
"I would like for it to be more of a plug and play with all of the tools and sources. It would make it much easier to use."
"Data modelling automation needs improvement."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"The reporting solution recently added to the latest Cloud version, since December or January, is not fully developed. The ability to use tabular reporting, like in dashboards, would be a great feature."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"Colours used on report objects"
