Qlik Sense vs Logi Symphony

Qlik Sense focuses on independent data analysis for enterprises with advanced tools that include AI, natural language processing and automation. User reviews praise it for its associative engine, interactive visualizations and sophisticated analytics.Its dataset-linking functionality gets my vote as the most significant differentiator since it makes data modeling seamless and saves time. In comparison, manually linking tables in Tableau and Power BI feels like a huge task.It supports fewer features out of the box (69%) compared to Tableau (72%) and Power BI (74%), but this could be intentional. Qlik has ready-to-go modules for analytics, automation and printing, so keeping it lean is a smart vendor move. Users should be aware that additional modules will cost extra, though.Qlik Sense SaaS is multi-cloud, so unless the admin assigns separate workspaces, your users won’t be able to create personal dashboards — everything is shared otherwise. Some users said the platform slowed when processing large workloads, which is a common issue with many other platforms. Assess your need for speed before committing to a purchase.If upgrading from QlikView, you’ll need to create new objects initially, as both platforms have different architectures. However, the vendor assists in seamless migration with the Qlik Analytics Modernization program.Overall, Qlik Sense is an efficient platform that offers many analysis capabilities worth considering. We recommend checking it out if you’re looking for an alternative to Power BI, entrenched in Microsoft technology, or Tableau, with its emphasis on visualization.

Logi Symphony is a web-based business intelligence solution that connects to a range of data sources, both on-premise and in-cloud, to source and optimize business-specific data. Users who reviewed its functionality praised the solution for its out-of-the-box features and extensibility to create tailored business solutions. With a vast library of visualizations, the platform allows users to create scalable and interactive dashboards to power data-driven decisions. Though it offers multiple graphs and charting options, some users who mentioned visualization said that the tool needs better integration with advanced charts, maps and D3, among others. Around 78% of users who reviewed reporting said that they found it easy to create and share impactful reports with stakeholders, though some users reported that generating reports in PDF format was difficult. The tool is intuitive and easy to use, though users who reviewed its data preparation capabilities said that it requires programming skills to manage more complex visualizations. The solution is not without its limitations though. Of users who reviewed its functionality, some said that the complexity of the tool can be overwhelming and some updates have resulted in broken features, requiring script rewrite. Around 62% of users who reviewed training said that that help documentation is lacking in best practices and use case samples for complicated data reporting scenarios. There were numerous complaints from users that the vendor’s apparent focus on introducing new add-ons translate into extra costs for them, while the core product — Logi Info — seems to have plateaued as far as new features and improvements go. Though SaaS-based businesses might find the pricing model workable, the platform can be cost prohibitive for many users due to rising licensing costs. In summary, Logi Symphony is an excellent platform to create a high-end website or application, with powerful descriptive and predictive analytics, superior embeddability and big data integrations.
