Real-time dashboards have transformed our contact center decisions and performance management
If I talk about features or aspects that need improvement, the first concern is information overload and dashboard clutter. The biggest complaint I hear is that the dashboard contains so much data that new users often feel overwhelmed. Even though it is rated eight out of ten for data discovery, users suggest better ways to hide or filter metrics until needed. Best practices suggest that successful teams start with three to four KPIs on their wallboard and then add more later. Another improvement users wish for is audio alerts; they want sound notifications when calls hit a queue or SLA drops. Currently, it is visual-only, necessitating constant screen monitoring, which can be a gap for busy supervisors. Third, the interactive data visualization layer scores eight out of ten, but users request more interactive charts. Currently, it is clean and efficient, yet lacks the drag-and-drop explorability of Tableau or Domo. Additionally, there is mention of enterprise scalability; eMite users state that while it is well-suited for small to mid-scale companies, it struggles with large companies that have huge data volumes, often resulting in performance issues and dashboard load complications. The mobile app is another area of improvement; while it is good, some users request more admin controls via mobile, as it is currently better for viewing and drill-down rather than configuration changes. Lastly, the learning curve for custom KPIs also needs attention. Regarding additional needed improvements, the custom KPIs feature is a strength but setting them up is not plug-and-play. Non-analyst users sometimes require assistance from the IT data team to construct formulas. Furthermore, the alert system is the most common request, with users desiring configuration for audio alerts and push notifications when queues exceed a certain number of calls, SLAs drop below a specific percentage, or when agents are not ready for too long. Currently, it is visual-only, causing supervisors to potentially miss spikes if they momentarily look away from the wallboard. Additionally, customizing dashboards for non-technical users presents challenges; while the drill-down feature is powerful, building custom dashboards and KPIs involves a learning curve. Teams seek more drag-and-drop widgets and templates; at present, IT data folks typically need to set this up and then hand it off.

Data visualization has become faster and flexible and now enables quick multi-source reporting
Qlik Sense is very easy to use, but sometimes integration is a bit challenging. In our case, we wanted to integrate the cloud version of Qlik Sense, and Qlik Sense is not supporting the on-premises version, so we moved to the cloud version. We had a lot of challenges when integrating Qlik Sense SSO with the reports that we wanted to show on our web app or mobile app. There were a lot of challenges along with that, but eventually, we overcame those challenges, and things are working fine now. The integration part is one point for improvement; it could be more simple because I found some complexities with it. The single sign-on part is a little tricky and is not straightforward. We have done multiple rounds with their technical team, and although it got resolved later on, I think that it could have been better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Users state that eMite is designed for real-time querying and personalized views for business and IT, emphasizing that the shift is from reactive to proactive resolution of queue spikes, now fixed in minutes as opposed to discovering them in the next day's report."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"The number of visualizations that are present in Qlik is very useful for our developers to help our business partners tell stories with their data. Qlik continues to add to and enhance these visualizations with each release. We are also very excited to leverage the integration between Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog as we roll that out soon."
"We can generate various graphs, various reports and we can mainly use it for dashboard related things. We can create a dashboard with live data and we can make decisions based on this information,"
"Qlik Sense makes it very easy to build interactive presentations for meetings."
"The product has many great features like easy and fast implementation, flexible data loading, and in-memory processing, but the Set Analysis is what I think is the most valuable. It makes the product very powerful."
"The solution offers good performance."
"Faster information delivery and enhanced decision making are examples of how it has improved the way my organization functions."
"It is a great product for people who don't need deep stats and have no programming background."
 

Cons

"Additionally, there is mention of enterprise scalability; eMite users state that while it is well-suited for small to mid-scale companies, it struggles with large companies that have huge data volumes, often resulting in performance issues and dashboard load complications."
"Qlik application automation needs additional work and features."
"From my point of view, the possibility for end-users to make their own reports in Qlik Sense is limited to very advanced users who have deep knowledge of the application."
"Ad-hoc reporting capabilities would be ideal."
"It would be great if decentralized teams would have more features to manage the metadata on the dashboards, setup the specific user access rights and rules to govern incoming and outgoing data sets from/to other teams, and more features to separate the different data process layers (e.g. extraction, transformation [data quality, business rules])."
"We have faced some issues with NPrinting, so I feel there is some improvement needed such that it would allow the use of variables and calculative fields from Qlik."
"The security rules should be made easier to use."
"Power BI is more user-friendly than Qlik Sense."
"Data modelling automation needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."
"Licensing is quite good, easy, but slightly expensive."
"The product is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"We have 20 licenses for Qlik Sense, and it is a special license that allows people in the whole company to use it over time. You buy this license and there are some minutes that can be used. For example, for the users that used only a few minutes in a month, we use this license. All the people have the ability to work with Qlik Sense. However, the number of licenses is not the number of users. The number of users that uses Qlik Sense is approximately 35 people."
"QlikSense offers a Hybrid environment architecture, which is very cost effective based on where the enterprise data resides."
"For personal use, the desktop version of Qlik Sense is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space."
"Licensing can start to get expensive, but compared to other tools in this space it is about average."
"The license mechanism of Qlik is quite complicated and not exchangeable. Such as 2016, they charge licenses by token, 1500$ for a token / 1 user. 2018: they change to 2 kinds of licenses: professional 1500$ / user, analyzer 800$ / user. 2019: they support subscription with 70$ Monthly for professional, 40$ monthly for analyzers, but for those you’re using perpetual licenses, they don't support acquiring more subscription licenses. The maintenance fee yearly are also high, 20% of the perpetual license."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Qlik Sense?
It is not about performance. It is just about how expensive it is to implement.
