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.

Data Science Intern at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
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

"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"It improved development, because we could just put our data into it and start working, even with datasets with millions of records."
"I think it's the best data analysis/discovery tool I've ever seen."
"Within QV, there are better analytical reporting features."
"The solution is fast."
"QlikView really works well."
"Technical support is very good, with an exceptional user base."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"Threshold for a non-coder to create new reports."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"Licensing costs"
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"We used the Nprinting extension, a great tool to create PDF reports, but the tool is not stable and installation was difficult before being able to use it."
"I don’t know how much time has been lost or efforts duplicated because of a lack of all this."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."
"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
