Financial Controller with task of Business Intelligence Implementation at a wholesaler/distributor with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

A customizable solution that helps to pull reports and send them as emails
We were manually populating things but the tool has helped us automate the process. We could pull the report automatically and send it as an email.  The tool is customizable, and it is not limited to any feature that it is built upon. You can do anything that you would like to do.  You need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"QlikView is extremely flexible in terms of visualization tools for communicating complex data insights."
"The in-memory engine is really powerful, making it possible to deal with huge data records on the fly (more than 400 million in a table)."
"QlikView is your one-stop shop for all of your BI needs, and it performs well enough."
"With QV, literally all departments across the company have started owning data in terms of getting hands on data, knowledge about data, how it is built up, and the ability to slice and dice, add, expand, or decrease the size or granularity of their own reports."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"We have gradually reduced laborious manual reporting in Business Units and spreadmarts, and now have some executives using QV dashboards in weekly review meetings in place of spreadsheets and PowerPoints."
"We realised instant value through data discovery not previously possible with traditional BI."
"We were manually populating things but the tool has helped us automate the process. We could pull the report automatically and send it as an email."
 

Cons

"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"By comparing with the latest data discovery tools like Tableau, Qlik Sense and Sisense, the layout and colors are not eye catching enough."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"The security features in QlikView are not yet mature: very complex to define permissions in a dashboard (based on data/sheets)."
"They are coming up with a lot of improvements. However, the version control is not one of them, and it's not straightforward."
"I would like to see improvements to scheduled reporting and the capability to email the user."
"You need to put queries manually. When you customize, you need to put queries manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
