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

"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"None – During a stress test it was able to load 38 million records without any problems on simple dual core PC with ONLY 1 GB OF RAM (absolutely amazing. I would not have believed it to be possible but I did the test myself)."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"Linking different sources of data in a way we could not do before has really helped decision-making regarding our production and focus."
"Ease of use, visualization, intuitive, the Qlik method of ETL, Qlik Sense."
"Data integration capabilities are quite good; you can integrate any information stored anywhere in different systems with QlikView."
"Our primary use case is an application that our users use to get the profitability on a monthly basis."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"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

"QlikView is a very heavy RAM utilizer (all strong BI tools are). When we hit around 20 concurrent users, the user experience began to suffer."
"Another problem is the printing. It is not a solution that comes with QlikView. I believe we had to buy it. It is not integrated. It is not the easiest to manage. It is not as easy as it could be."
"We actually use QlikView, which does not allow easy-to-use framework management."
"QlikView has some superb, unique features but the desktop edition suffers from having a rather tired user interface."
"Error handling."
"We want a few things that just aren't available on this solution, so we're moving more towards Tableau as our product of choice."
"Better source data connectors."
"Reducing costs is the main improvement needed, as this is the biggest burden currently faced in the South African market, with Microsoft converting QlikView customers due to the perceived cost reduction."
"You need to put queries manually. When you customize, you need to put queries manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"It is expensive for small companies."
