Qlik Sense Reviews

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.

We use this solution across all functions to increase decision support.

Advanced analytics, geo-analytics, and insight bot are the most valuable features.

Most of their technology is impressive. This solution represents strong, third-generation BI tech. It is really powerful and has Self Service capabilities that are easy to use.

It is a great platform for third party extensions, has an open API, and there are no black boxes.

More freedom for custom visuals and dashboard creation would be an improvement.

This solution has great support.

This solution has great cost-benefits.

I use this solution to provide my organization with a self-service BI Tool. This tool not only allows for the consumption of the data in a visual way but also allows the user to modify the question to get new answers. This tool is used mainly to show the company data and KPIs using perspectives that are unique to the user.

Qlik Sense has inspired the users to question the data more. They are interested in making sure there is data quality in the sources and has helped make some quick decisions without the need to do repeat analysis. Qlik has saved users time and lowered the number of requests for analysts to perform ad-hoc reporting.

I think all of the features in Qlik Sense are vital to the product. I enjoy being able to use the ETL features, as well as the front-end scripting (set-analysis). The most valuable feature is that all pieces work together as a platform that allows you to easily provide BI solutions.

The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system. This would inspire the new development to be prioritized by the community so that the most requested features would come first. Power BI (Microsoft) currently uses this solution.

We primarily use this solution for tactical operations, engineering, logistics, and test engineering to improve throughput, delivery, machine performance, and machine availability.

Different departments use the Qlik platform for quick data analysis to improve business operations and assist with meeting customer demand.

The Qlik BI platform provides quick data analysis to the operations team, which drives them to meet the daily throughput target. It helps our engineers to quickly identify where the bottleneck machines are, and how to resolve the line-hold issues. It also suggests which tasks or actions we need to take in order to fix the problem or to meet our targets.

There are many valuable functions in this solution, including:

• The second generation in-memory association (QIX) engine
• Robust data curation and wrangling capabilities in the script
• The ability to load the data from a wide variety of data sources
• The UI is very easy to use, with drag and drop self-service analytics
• It has the highest level of data security at both the row and column levels

I would like to see real-time data feed into the dashboard, or report, without any limitations.

The new version upgrades should not contain bugs in the basic, required features.

Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups.

They have a very good and responsive UI design.

This product deployment works close to a micro-services architecture. So, we scale each service based on requirements and usage.

Customer service is good.

We had been using QlikView and started exploring QlikSense.

Setup and installation of this solution are pretty straightforward.

We performed the implementation in-house with the Qlik team. Their expertise is exceptional.

QlikSense offers a hybrid environment architecture, which is very cost effective based on where the enterprise data resides. The flexible licensing model is based on usage and architecture.

We have evaluated several other BI products in the market.

We have been using QlikSense for the past four months and chose to test out this product after using QlikView for the past eight years.

This is an incredible platform that we use for data analysis.

All the necessary information is available to everyone in real time.

This solution is easy to use, intuitive and has great power for the exploitation of data.

The next version should include more standard integrations.
