Featured Reviews

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.

An easy-to-set up solution that helps in the scheduling of reports and dashboards
A lot of integrations are available with Zoho Analytics. There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics. The data can be in millions. There are some limitations on the reports that depend on the various combinations of data you get. So there is always an error that gets thrown out if you are building complex reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"It is a stable product."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts. They're good compared to other tools. We used a free Elastic product, comparatively, this solution is good because of their support, UI, and connecting to databases is very easy."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
 

Cons

"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"The solution is quite costly."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"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."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"The product is expensive."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"I would recommend looking at your usage and whether the Zoho One license model would work for your organisation. It is very cost effective if you use other Zoho tools."
"The price is high. The solution advertises that it provides products for 55 AED per user, but these products contain only the basic features. Most of the features are locked. The version of the product that includes Zoho Analytics costs around 199 AED per user per month."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"An exact ROI is hard to calculate. However, we have definitely made sales that would have been much harder, or unlikely, as a result of the speed with which we were able to prepare comprehensive analysis."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
