2. Qlik Sense

Qlik Sense is a tool that is used to create dashboards for analysis and reporting for users, using multiple sources.It is something a user with less technical knowledge about the tool can work on as well and as an expert you can create scripts at a very high level with a single tool. The level of complex scripts you can write on it with ease and speed is something that is very amazing.Some native charts are slightly outdated and plain, but with each update they are making sure the users get the latest tech.I have also used different types of BI tools in which they need additional tool just to do complex ETL which makes things more complex for users but with Qlik Sense we don't need to worry about that, we can create any level of complex ETL with it.Read all insights and reviews for Qlik Sense

Based on my overall experience using Looker, I'd describe it as a powerful business intelligence platform that makes data feel a lot less intimidating. What stood out to me immediately was how customizable the dashboards are, you can build reports that make sense for your role instead of having to adapt to a rigid template. Once everything is set up, the visuals are clean, easy to digest, and incredibly helpful for spotting trends quickly.Read all insights and reviews for Looker

6. SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite

By SAP

4.2
(829 Ratings)
SAP BO BI Suite is a solid platform with both strengths and some limitations. On the positive side, I found SAP DataServices to be an excellent ETL tool, it's powerful, reliable, and integrates well for managing complex data processes. When it comes to reporting, Business Objects does deliver strong capabilities, but the solution feels somewhat obsolete and complicated on the backend compared to more modern BI tools. While it gets the job done, the architecture feels dated. Overall, it's a dependable suite with robust functionality, especially on the ETL side (new cloud connectors would be useful), but it could benefit from modernization and simplification in its reporting components. Let's see what new features and capabilities SAP BI 2025 will introduce!Read all insights and reviews for SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite

Product performs a lot of roles at one time. It provides intelligence reports and data visualizations. Real time data exporting is simple with qlik abd they have new reporting features added. There are no additional functions for some serious cases. Reporting and Intelligence data helps in managing decisions and its analysis. Helps organization in every means. However there are data minings with visuals and warehousing with a feature of self servicing. Overall this product will give you a collaborative analysis of all insights, its agile's developing and deploying. It connects the most with Tableau and Domo applications.
