Overall Satisfaction with QlikView
QlikView is being used as our Enterprise Analytics Solution to create dashboards containing HR, Payroll, Finance, Training, and other data. It has helped to reduce ad hoc reports and increase communication and awareness. It has been utilized for general info and to help target specific problems.
- Data Visualization
- Dashboards
- Data Analysis
- Report building tool itself is very different than many other BI tools
- Setting up your layouts/data visualization display could be easier. Reminds me of trying to make adjustments in Visio
My use of Cognos was as an embedded BI tool inside of a cloud HCM. At the time, you could not marry up data from other external sources with that version. QlikView makes it easy to connect data from multiple sources. As a BI tool I do prefer the Cognos set up, but that's more of personal preference. Security was also different due to the way it was deployed, but QlikView can do anything Cognos did and sometimes better with data visualizations.
