Qlik Sense Reviews

We are working with Qlik Sense Server Edition, installed in an international company with more than 10,000 users.

Lots of end-users are now familiar enough with this solution to create quick dashboards based on their own data sources, like Excel files, CSV, TXT files, and databases. They also have the ability to connect to a data mart.

The most valuable feature is the user experience. It is easy to use and has a modern design.

I would like to have the ability to better customize the visuals including changing fonts, sizing, colors, axes, and titles.

Additional functionality would improve this solution.

We have been using Qlik sense for two years.

Our primary uses for Qlik Sense are sales statistics, order intake, invoicing during a period of 10 years, and customer statistics. Our statistics are grouped by segment, country, business unit, customer, and customer groups. 

Statistics are used to compare costs considering sales price and margin.

We conduct a complete review of the sales statistics including KPI and Highlights, following all of the information available on the order, customer, and product. 

We cover all requirement requests by the sales department and generate reports on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

This solution allows us to use a simple drag-and-drop interface to create flexible, interactive data visualizations. We can explore data with smart visualizations that automatically adapt to the parameters we set. There is no need for developers, data scientists, or designers.

This has allowed us to turn our team into creators. They maximize their skills and experience by letting them focus on the things they are best at, instead of setting up data. By unifying data sources we gain a complete view of information, without gaps, and make it easier to discover hidden insights.

The most valuable feature is the interface for the end-user. Each end-user can create their own pages and customizations. This frees up IT resources to work on other problems.

Qlik Sense is intuitive and very easy to use.

The speed at which you get information is impressive. In one click, you have the answer to your question. That's important for the business but also for the user experience.

We want the next version of this solution to be cloud-based so that each user can access it from anywhere in the world with their phone, tablet, or computer without a VPN connection. This is very important for us because we have an initiative called 'Cloud first', and in five years, all software must be in the cloud and easy to access. Essentially, we want to stop using a physical server and avoid on-premises maintenance.

We have been using Qlik Sense for three years.

As a fairly new user working in a Sales and Marketing environment within the Hospitality industry, I use Qlik Sense primarily as a tool for visualization. It provides a view of our complex business model which consists of multiple BUs running in different sales environments.

So far, Qlik Sense hasn't improved much in the organization that I work for. We only just began the process of digitalizing our reporting and analytics with its counterpart, QlikView. The business user environment is still too data-illiterate to be able to work with Qlik Sense autonomously.

Qlik Sense makes it very easy to build interactive presentations for meetings. It has really nice graphical representations of complex material, making it easy to understand for the business users. Overall, it is very intuitive and easy for business users.

The AI of Qlik Sense "proposing" solutions is also helpful.

Qlik Sense is constantly being improved upon, updates and new product features are regularly released.

It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense.

Better control over Pivot tables, which should be made more customizable especially in terms of Totals, would be an improvement.

We have been using Qlik Sense for less than six months.

Self-Service in an on-premises environment with the aim to industrialize self-service content. That means the IT department will take responsibility for developed reports after their development is done by the business.

Qlik Sense brought Self-Service reporting into the company, thanks to the easy UI for business users.

The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop reporting.

We would like to have connectors without the need for the Web Connector service.

Report generation without the need for NPrinting, which has limited capabilities anyway, would be an improvement.

We have been using Qlik Sense for more than one year.

Our primary use case is to bring together multiple data sets from varying data sources (SQL, Oracle, and Cloud) for three different applications into a single dashboard for daily management of eighteen departments spanning three locations. This includes almost all of the Operations departments.

Qlik Sense has allowed management to stop their daily data collection and focus on managing. It has also allowed them to stop excessive use of Excel spreadsheets for storing snapshots of report data. They can see the history all in one place now.

The most valuable feature is the ability to identify trouble areas with detailed drill-downs, as well as data issues (Green White Grey).

Allowing the users to be able to take snapshots and create their own story without ever leaving the application is a very good feature. 

Some of the charts are still a bit basic and screen rendering on different sized monitors can be an issue. It is also somewhat difficult to customize the charts with the opening and closing of the different panes, making it time-consuming.

I've been using Qlik for seven years, with three years using Qlik Sense specifically.

Our primary use case for this solution is to provide a fast and accurate BI solution for all functional areas. We are building small and simple apps, but also very complex apps. During the time, our clients ware has grown with Qlik and they are asking for more optimized BI solutions to help them in their daily business.

First, we have changed our mindset from Excel thinking to associative thinking. Next, we've gathered deeper insight into our data. Now, using Apps in Qlik as a navigation tool, we are using hidden opportunities to open new markets and also to reduce costs.

Moving from table to graph was a rubicon. After the implementation of all needed extensions, we are receiving only positive feedback and guidelines as to what the next steps are.

The integration with R & Python for predictive modeling, and possibly machine learning in the future, is very valuable.

As we are a very process-oriented company, we would like to see more extensions maintained from Qlik, because it's a huge budget problem to choose the right one. Also, a small set of Qlikview features would be appreciated (such as a simple PDF report directly from Qlik Sense...)

We have had no problems during the development and use of any Qlik product.

Qlik Sense and its pricing model can follow any scalability. 

Prior to this solution, we used Longview (Arcplan). Very hard to maintain, question-answer concept on the SQL Server basis. We needed an easy to deploy data visualization solution that was mobile-ready and had a strong analytical engine. Qlik Sense was the right one for us.

Our setup was small, yet complex in the beginning. After a few "Wow's" we made some "internal friends" for support. Now we have a very complex deployment with several integrations.

Our first implementation was through a vendor, but now we are a well-educated team that still has a vendor as a support and a coach.

You should make a very deep and detailed analysis of what you really need, analyze integration possibilities onto your current system, review internal knowledge, and build a picture of your future BI system in the next five years.

We also evaluated Tableau before choosing this solution.

I built a pilot in QlikSense for an existing customer with QlikView.

I had to learn all about QlikSense in a short period to develop a complete application. It was very easy and fun for me to jump into a new version of Qlik.

Currently, I love QlikSense and I continue learning about it.

With QlikSense, our company can tackle some projects that we never could have before. We are improving all areas or departments and we are building a real data-driven philosophy around data and the power of information. A lot of tasks are now very easy, whereas previously they were impossible.

The most valuable feature of QlikSense is that you can capture the data without modifying it and then perform the ETL (extract, transform, and load) process. It is all much faster and safer. In addition, it is also easy to connect to any type of data source.

Currently, we are not very happy with the iPad or iPhone app because it is not working as we want. It is not very friendly and we very often have login errors.

GeoAnalytics is getting better in each version, but from my point of view, GeoAnalytics has a lot of points to improve.

Our primary use case is dashboard creation and implementation for one of our departments.

Qlik Sense has allowed us to make interactive dashboards quickly. It also enables self-service for our management team to get answers to questions quickly and efficiently.

We have found the use of AI to be the most valuable feature.

There is room for improvement in the learning curve when getting started, but training resources have been growing.
