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.

A scalable and stable product that enables users to set properties dynamically
The solution is used mainly for reporting purposes. We generate PDFs, which are delivered to the recipient via email We can set any property dynamically. We have to use different currencies. Sometimes, we use the pound sign. Sometimes, we use the dollar sign. Our software is a multi-currency…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"QlikView is extremely flexible in terms of visualization tools for communicating complex data insights."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
 

Cons

"The pricing is high."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"The solution is quite costly."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"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."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."

Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same…
