QlikView Reviews

I use the solution primarily for business intelligence. It’s commonly applied in the financial, human resources, and sales sectors, providing comprehensive insights across various business functions.

The platform's most valuable feature is its associative data model. It allows me to discover hidden data and gain insights that are not immediately visible.

The product's visual capabilities could be improved. The graphs and visualizations are not as aesthetic or easy to create.

I have been using QlikView since 2012. 

The product is stable. I rate the stability a ten. 

The platform is highly scalable. I have worked on projects with up to five servers to ensure scalability for large numbers of users.

I have also used Power BI. The main difference is that QlikView provides a complete solution for data extraction, transformation, and loading, whereas Power BI is primarily focused on data visualization and often requires additional tools for comprehensive data manipulation.

The initial setup is relatively easy, though there can be challenges related to licensing due to the variety of license types available. The deployment often involves a team of people, depending on the complexity of the implementation.

The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing.

The associative data model in QlikView uses color-coded indicators (white, green, and gray) to show data associations. This helps me identify how data points relate to one another and discover hidden insights.

I rate it an eight. 

We use QlikView for business intelligence to help us analyze the data.

The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis.

There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client.

We have been using QlikView since 2012.

It is a very stable tool. We receive three to four updates every year for it.

It is a scalable product.

I have never contacted the product’s technical support services in the ten years since the beginning.

Positive

The product’s initial setup process is easy. If you have all the data stored in Excel or similar tools, it is easy to deploy for IT personnel and end users.

Compared to other BI tools, the product's price is reasonable for medium and enterprise businesses. It is expensive for small companies.

I rate QlikView a ten out of ten.
