Custom cohort dashboards have transformed customer tracking but still need richer built‑in visuals
From my perspective, adding more custom visualizations as inbuilt features would be greatly beneficial for developers and other teams. For specific visualizations, we currently need to use Python and JavaScript combinations to create great visualizations such as cohort analysis. If these visualizations were added by default to Mode Enterprise, it would be beneficial for all of us. There are common visualizations that are not currently in Mode Enterprise but should be added. There are advantages and disadvantages to the current state. The advantages mainly include the ability to combine all datasets, which definitely reduces time. Because Python and JavaScript are supported, we can develop cohort dashboards, which many other BI tools do not support. Mode Enterprise supports cohort dashboards, which is a significant advantage.

Unlocks actionable insights through user-friendly analysis features
The self-service capabilities that Qlik Sense offers are significant. They offer natural language processing, allowing users to ask questions in layman language, and Qlik Sense will create charts and narratives automatically. Users can access any dashboard developed in Qlik Sense from familiar portals such as Okta or other company portals through embedding features. The integration with chatbots, particularly Microsoft Teams, allows users to access dashboards and ask questions directly within Teams. The collaboration feature enables users to share analysis by taking snapshots and tagging team members within the Qlik Sense interface, eliminating the need for lengthy emails or screenshots. The storytelling feature allows users to create presentations directly in Qlik Sense using dashboard analysis, making it easier to answer questions during meetings. The subscription feature enables users to receive charts and sheets via email instead of navigating to the dashboard, facilitating monitoring purposes. Qlik Sense offers alerting capabilities where users can set thresholds for KPIs and receive notifications when these thresholds are reached. The platform also includes AI/ML features for predictive modeling through a no-code component, allowing business users to create and deploy AutoML models without depending on data scientists. The Qlik Answers component, featuring generative AI capability, enables users to get answers from unstructured data including Excel, HTML documents, or Microsoft Word documents by creating a knowledge base. The user-friendly interface operates on a drag-and-drop approach, with Qlik Sense suggesting appropriate charts based on selected dimensions and measures. The associative engine capabilities allow data association between tables, implementing selections across related tables. The platform uses a color-coding system (white, gray, and dark gray) to show related, excluded, and unrelated data selections, providing insights beyond traditional BI tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mode Enterprise positively impacted my organization with its clean visualization and slightly faster response times."
"The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective."
"The tool helps to catch results and review them."
"The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing."
"I have used many other BI tools, but when I compare other BI tools with Mode Enterprise, I find it more interesting because it supports Amazon Redshift and cloud-related technology as well as some static-related technology, and it also supports customization through coding with JavaScript and Python."
"The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts."
"Self-service use of the desktop version with the ability to port applications into the server environment."
"The reason being that it is a product that offers real value to businesses and it offers it fast."
"It uses an associative engine + an in-memory environment: I don't have to calculate hypercubes."
"We integrate Qlik as an EU-wide BI tool, and acceptance was never an issue due to the ease of use and user interface."
"End users can adjust their analysis with a few simple clicks."
"Qlik Sense is a mission-critical environment - the directors can't make their work happen without it."
"Qlik offers you all the features needed to extract the raw data from the source systems including an ETL layer to transform the data and to connect the multiple data sources into one data model, easy data sharing, security and scaling features, dashboards, and report functionality to share your data with your end-users."
"This solution has improved our organization by making our analysis results available to customers."
 

Cons

"Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
"From my perspective, adding more custom visualizations as inbuilt features would be greatly beneficial for developers and other teams."
"Mode Enterprise can be improved by reducing the cost, as I think the enterprise version is much costlier."
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
"The solution could run faster."
"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
"Ultra-customization: It needs no limits on which charts can have x amount of dimensions, y amount of measures, z amount of color expressions, etc."
"Qlik cloud's performance is an issue, as it has no costs - the resources are shared."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"Customer service has to improve and technical support is at a low level."
"They need to make security rules to access applications and data security easier and customizable."
"We want the next version of this solution to be cloud-based so that each user can access it from anywhere in the world with their phone, tablet, or computer without a VPN connection."
"More freedom for custom visuals and dashboard creation would be an improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the storytelling mode and the report sharing. Qlik Sense also does not have a subscription base like Power BI. So a lot of the analysis is housed in community pages that are managed by either the author or a database administrator, or whoever the Qlik Sense manager is there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is per user."
"My decision-maker found the pricing expensive, but it is okay for me."
"Mode Analytics is cheap compared to other tools."
"Licensing could be cheaper."
"Qlik Sense and its pricing model can follow any scalability."
"The costs can initially become quite high. Make sure you have a clear understanding of who will truly use the product as opposed to someone that will simply receive the end report."
"Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."
"It is the most expensive tool."
"Licensing can start to get expensive, but compared to other tools in this space it is about average."
"For on-premise enterprise users, a number of additional features come at a premium cost."
"I'm not able to reveal the licensing cost for Qlik Sense, but because it was a huge deal, the cost was less than the usual cost. The license wasn't that costly. It was the infrastructure that was very costly."
