Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified
We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"QlikView is a highly effective management tool, allowing a broad area of analysis."
"As a consultant, QlikView has helped me deliver high-value BI solutions to my customers, consistently exceeding their expectations and creating new opportunities for my firm."
"Customer Service: 10/10 - it's perfect, very fast and very good support."
"Ease of use, visualization, intuitive, the Qlik method of ETL, Qlik Sense."
"It gives intuitive data insights to improve and optimize our global supply chain (help drive and build strategy to improve on-time delivery, reduce quality and damage returns, etc.), with a few simple clicks to drill down to the details (down to the SKU level and call centre conversation details with customers)."
"QlikView development projects are rapid and the product itself is very flexible and reliable."
"It provides information all in one place for our users."
 

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"Only drawback is that the server can stop functioning if not enough memory is available, so that needs active monitoring once you are close to the limit."
"However, as the data volume increased, the skills of optimizing the tool need to be more advanced."
"The system needs some technical expertise to set up and can be expensive, but once set up, it works well."
"Reports module should be improved to make it user-friendly and easy to develop reports."
"I don’t know how much time has been lost or efforts duplicated because of a lack of all this."
"Server performance. Reloading of data sometimes weigh down the server's performance."
"In one word, QlikView has become dated now."
"Implement security model for a document can be difficult and slow to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
