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.

I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.
* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Faster information delivery and enhanced decision making are examples of how it has improved the way my organization functions."
"Qlik Sense has allowed management to stop their daily data collection and focus on managing."
"Qlik has brought tremendous value to our organization in a few key ways."
"It has improved the amount of time it takes to get information out to the business in a few ways, firstly by replacing reporting that was done manually in Excel by business users and giving them that time back, and next by providing cleansed data to analysts so that they can create their own analysis."
"The reports are better looking than in QlikView."
"It has improved our organization by providing data to decision-makers in a safe visual environment."
"The UI is very easy to use, with drag and drop self-service analytics."
"Qlik Sense helped us with extracting insight from our data more quickly than before."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"Qlik dashboards are not friendly with end-users, but they have been enhancing this shorted in some recent releases and next releases hopefully."
"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])."
"On-premise, if things are not working well I need to rebuild some parts of the dashboard."
"I would like to see more types of visual elements and better configuration options for additional flexibility when developing charts."
"They need to keep it as simple as possible but include as much advanced functionality as possible by positioning all the objects on the page, changing colors for all the objects, improving sheets actions, etc."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
"There is a direction currently with feature releases within QLik Sense which are focused towards the SaaS or Cloud offerings of Qlik Sense. This leaves those who have invested heavily in on-premise enterprise deployments in a difficult position to gain the benefits of some powerful new features they have to look to reinvest further towards these SaaS or Cloud deployments or bring in a hybrid model. Qlik provides no real split between what features are available in each of the deployment options."
"Moving forward I would like to see more features that are currently available in QlikView, such as being able to better customize coloring within charts. I would also like to see the ability to add calculated dimensions to the selections tool in the page."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Costs are a little high on the license/token side. However, if you look at the TCO, it is not too bad, particularly against Power BI."
"Licensing can start to get expensive, but compared to other tools in this space it is about average."
"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."
"The cost is not bad considering the flexibility and support you receive from Qlik. I believe it is worth the cost."
"Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."
"I would rate Qlik's pricing four out of five."
"Licensing could be cheaper."
"Licensing is quite good, easy, but slightly expensive."
