SG
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

"Our sales reps use dashboards for reporting latest inventory quantities on a real-time basis, which is critical for the business."
"Now, we have all the company´s important information gathered in one tool, so it´s easier to analyze it."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"We have increased our revenues by 30% because the rapid and effective insights provided with the analytics we built with Qlik."
"QlikView enables fast visualisation, analysis and navigation through data."
"The data model helps my organization to recognize and identify the problem of our clients’ data."
"It is very simple to use."
"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

"In QlikView 11, there is a password for the section of code, but there is no user management with a password that allows access to data when opening the file."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"It is really missing a comprehensive semantic/metadata layer and security/data profiling can be hard to accomplish at corporate level without a high level of scripting."
"The product's visual capabilities could be improved. The graphs and visualizations are not as aesthetic or easy to create."
"Some improvement to the user interface (for the developers). It can be a little unwieldy, especially to people initially learning the program."
"Usually they're not very helpful. Either we find the answer more quickly ourselves, or if we can't find the answer, they usually also can't find the answer."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
