A flexible tool that offers an open-source version
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten. In my company, there are around five resources that use the product. My company's clients use the product a lot on a daily basis. I use the product twice a week in my company before I get any call from our clients.

Rapid development and flexibility transform commercial decision-making processes
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, considering that you're losing a lot of customers to Power BI. Reducing costs is the main improvement needed, as this is the biggest burden currently faced in the South African market, with Microsoft converting QlikView customers due to the perceived cost reduction. I am aware of several big corporations, such as Sanofi and Aspen Pharmacare, which have left QlikView due to cost issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."
"You can switch views easily."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"The solution is fast."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"Data integration capabilities are quite good; you can integrate any information stored anywhere in different systems with QlikView."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"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."
 

Cons

"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"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."
"QlikView lacks self-service capabilities, which means users depend on the IT team to make changes."
"The product's visual capabilities could be improved. The graphs and visualizations are not as aesthetic or easy to create."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source tool. My company hasn't explored Plotly's premium services yet, but I believe the prices could be on the premium side."
"I only use the free tier of the product."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
"The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
"It is expensive for small companies."
