I do not have suggestions for additional functions they can add to Qlik Sense. For now, we are satisfied with the functionality of Qlik Sense; whatever we required, it is pretty much there. We are pretty much satisfied with the reports that it is able to generate. Qlik Sense was purchased directly from the vendor, but I am not involved in the purchase process. MongoDB is one database that we use. We have PostgreSQL DB that we use for daily activity. For NoSQL, we use MongoDB, and for SQL, we use PostgreSQL DB. We are mostly using AWS infrastructure right now, but we are exploring some of the AWS products also, and we use some products from Azure, such as Entra for our SSO. I would give this review an overall rating of eight out of ten.

I think something Power BI has the edge over Qlik Sense. I am not working directly with certain aspects, so I cannot comment further on those. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 7.
Most organizations had scattered data across many legacy systems. Qlik Sense has consolidated all the data in one place and provided answers to all their questions, helping to make better decisions and enabling faster collaborations. If you have a scattered system and want to analyze your data, structured data, along with the unstructured ones, Qlik Sense is the best option where you can collaborate both data formats into one and perform analysis on top of it. This eliminates the need to rely on multiple systems to get answers. On a scale of 1-10, this solution receives a rating of 9.
I would rate it more than nine out of ten. I am very happy, and the entire organization is pleased with Qlik. I was responsible for implementing and configuring it, facilitating deployment on the cloud and building applications on top of that. Overall, I rate the solution more than nine out of ten.

It's a good product. Performance-wise and scalability-wise, it's good. Overall, it's a solid product. They need to improve their marketing strategy, like Power BI, the Microsoft product, however, they are not selling it in the right manner. I would rate the solution eight out of ten.
The tool's data analysis is useful to help out the teams across the globe and to track their work. Qlik Sense is linked with our company's SQL servers. After working with QlikView for a very long time, I felt it did not carry over many of the features to Qlik Sense directly, and it was done over a period of time. Until the tool's MAy 2024 was released, we did not have a hide option for every object, which now they have given, but there is a workaround for it using the layout container. In QlikView, such features were easily available with an expression view. It was much easier in QlikView than it is in Qlik Sense's latest version. My company is not quite open to AI because of the compliance issues and the data restrictions that we have in place. We are managing AI-related areas in a controlled manner using Python and a few other things, which are being built in-house rather than using open-source platforms. I rate the tool an eight to nine out of ten.
In terms of ROI, my company's clients in municipalities who use the solution are very satisfied with it. My company noticed the AI functionalities associated with the product, but we don't use them. My company's customers use the analytical capabilities offered by the product. The product offers virtualization in the form of line graphs, maps and bar charts. I would say before using Qlik Sense, consider that its main competitor, Microsoft Power BI, also costs money if you want to deploy it for use outside of the organization. Though Microsoft Power BI pretty tends to be cheap, it is not. If someone wants to deploy Microsoft Power BI the way my company has deployed it, then it can be an expensive affair. Microsoft Power BI pretends to be a free tool, but it is not available for free. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
In terms of the areas that have proven to be the most useful in data analysis needs, I would say that I am currently looking for the writeback extensions now because something our company wants to input a few things from the reports and that should get stored either into the QVD files or either into the database directly. The product is easy to use in our company, and it is used widely in our customer base. In my company, we don't see any issues with the product. Trying to integrate Qlik Sense with other third-party solutions has been an issue for my company because the APIs that we use to integrate the tool with other solutions are not easy to use. In terms of APIs, the tool has become complex, and now our company is finding it difficult to integrate Qlik Sense with third-party tools, that has become quite complex for us because it requires the use of APIs, and it is not easy, especially when considering that we have limited knowledge of APIs. I am not aware of the administrative side of the product since I mostly work on the technical part associated with it. Whether I would recommend Qlik Sense to others or not depends on their use cases. If the data size and all those things are not the concern, I think Qlik Sense is a good solution. In some other cases, other solutions apart from Qlik Sense may be a good fit. I am not aware of the product from a functional point of view, but technically, if the user base and data size are huge, Qlik Sense can become problematic. Speaking about how Qlik Sense supports our company's AI-driven decision-making processes, I can say that the tool currently serves our company's purpose, and we are currently looking deeper into the product since we want it to be easy to use and we also want the data size issues associated with the tool to the resolved so that it is able to fit into our needs. My company did not exactly want the product to be integrated with other tools, but we did want to create and go for a mash-up, which can be accessed by other users, and I felt it was something that was difficult. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Before implementing Qlik Sense, my advice is to carefully assess its development needs, as custom components may require coding. While the deployment phase is generally straightforward, take advantage of Qlik Sense's flexibility in data modeling, allowing developers to write scripts for more tailored solutions. It is crucial to document projects for better collaboration among developers. Overall, I would rate Qlik Sense as a seven out of ten.

My recommendation is to use it. It's a unique product in the market due to the technical reason of the associative experience. This is a unique experience for BI products. If you want a tool or a system for business intelligence, Qlik should be one of the candidates. It could be perfect option. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
My advice to new users considering Qlik Analytics Platform is to carefully assess their data project needs. While Qlik is a solid on-premises platform, the trend in the industry is moving toward cloud-based data solutions, including data warehousing and integration. Cloud data warehouses are often more modern, feature-rich, and scalable. If you are planning to create a new data warehouse in the cloud, it might make sense to also opt for cloud-native integration tools. The tech world is shifting towards cloud-native solutions, which better match the direction most global data projects are heading. Overall, I would rate Qlik Analytics Platform as a seven out of ten.
We see more requirements around machine learning and predictive analytics. The customers could optimize the value for their money and increase ROI by using and getting most of the functionality in place. Most companies initially use the product as a dashboard tool, but if you do that, you are not getting the real value of it. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
