The Briefing Book feature enables measures to be filtered and viewed based on different criteria by end users.
This software is targeted at executive users, not the data analysts who want to slice and dice. The software will not replace your BI tools, but it will sit nicely on top of a BI tool if you want management to have quick and easy access to performance data.

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

"It is a comprehensive solution for performance management, and yet it is easy to setup and easy to use, especially in comparison with Oracle, SAS, Hyperion and SAP."
"The charts and tables and how they interconnect, and the speed at which you can drill down into a single row of data amongst hundreds of millions like we have, is amazing."
"Qlik Sense is a mission-critical environment - the directors can't make their work happen without it."
"Qlik Sense has provided insight into specific areas that enabled us to shorten the supply cycle, give a better overview of the company's production, increase profitability, and improve the effectiveness of respective vaccines."
"The most valuable feature of Qlik Analytics Platform is its Change Data Capture capability."
"The integration with R & Python for predictive modeling, and possibly machine learning in the future, is very valuable."
"It uses an associative engine + an in-memory environment: I don't have to calculate hypercubes."
"The drag-and-drop dashboard builder is an intuitive interface for building dashboards from source reports."
"We have had an easy time supplying content to our customers."
 

Cons

"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
"Qlik Sense should have a conversion tool which automatically converts QlikView to Qlik Sense, so customers can easily migrate between the products of Qlik."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"This solution would be improved by adding some Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) components that are easier to interpret and design."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"The next version should include more standard integrations."
"Ability for the administrator to approve Community Sheets in the QMC and then move them into base sheets."
"The user experience needs to be improved."
"More pivot table options, like the ability to have the totals row at the bottom of the table, would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Qlik Sense?
