Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.0
Plotly Dash Enterprise is scalable, supporting large datasets and multiple users, leveraging Python, React, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Sentiment score
7.0
QlikView scales well with efficient resource management, but superior scalability features are found in Qlik Sense, requiring robust infrastructure.
We can scale by adding more instances to handle multiple users efficiently, with the ability to support hundreds to thousands of users with proper backend performance control.
Azure Data Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
For infrastructure scalability, we are thinking about Docker or Kubernetes while also utilizing Redis for a shared state, making auto-scaling based on CPU or RAM usage available.
Software Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Plotly Dash Enterprise provides a strong foundation for scalability, but the real performance comes from combining the platform with a good design system.

Room For Improvement

Plotly Dash Enterprise needs improved performance, UI, onboarding resources, customization, and better pricing for users handling large datasets.
QlikView needs a more intuitive interface, better scalability, integration, predictive analytics, and cost-effective licensing for improved user experience.
A more guided user interface and low-code features would help with onboarding for beginners and non-technical users, making the platform more accessible.
Azure Data Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
There should be a focus on mobile responsiveness and shifting from standard CSS to Dash Mantine Components and Dash Bootstrap while utilizing grid systems for large data bottlenecks.
Software Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I wish for features such as auto detection of data and auto analysis to be included.
Student at a university with 51-200 employees
In QlikView, I believe the improvement that should be made is to bring the costs down, as you'll have to be competitive with Power BI, aiming for at least a 30% reduction to stop the hemorrhaging to Power BI.
Managing Director at Hurricnae
It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView.

Setup Cost

Plotly Dash Enterprise offers custom pricing based on user and support needs, with enterprise options reaching six-figure costs.
QlikView pricing is variable and can be costly, but strategic planning can maximize ROI for organizations.
The cost can be significant, such as tens of thousands per year, but it includes features such as security, deployment, and support, which justifies it for a larger team.
Operations Analyst at a non-profit with 51-200 employees
The enterprise price can reach around one hundred thousand dollars per year, varying according to organizational size.
Azure Data Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The setup cost was nothing and is fine.

The license cost per user or per year for QlikView is about 500 Euros annually.
Managing Director at Hurricnae
I would rate the pricing for QlikView as not cheap, but it is reasonable.

Valuable Features

Plotly Dash Enterprise offers seamless Python integration, easy deployment, and scalability for creating secure, interactive dashboards with minimal coding.
QlikView offers powerful data analysis with dynamic dashboards, intuitive interface, and rapid visualization for enhanced business performance and insights.
The built-in handling of Kubernetes and Docker in Plotly Dash Enterprise makes our workflow easier because we only need to configure the dashboard once on how the data should look.

The control access feature helps my team by using authentication code, so we can ensure only the people who should have access can view the dashboard.

Featured Reviews

Operations Analyst at a non-profit with 51-200 employees
Interactive dashboards have transformed reporting and now speed up team decision making
One area where Plotly Dash Enterprise can be improved is the learning curve for beginners. It can take time to understand the callbacks and app structures. Debugging can sometimes be tricky, especially for complex apps. Improving documentation and providing more built-in templates or examples would make it easier for new users to get started. Another improvement could be around performance optimization in Plotly. For example, with a large dataset, a dashboard can sometimes become slow. Better built-in support for handling big data efficiently would help. Additionally, smoother integration with other data tools and cloud services would make it easier to fit into different tech stacks.

Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified
We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.
