Qlik Sense is a data visualization tool similar to Google Data Studio, Google Looker Studio, and Power BI. Many people are not yet aware of Qlik Sense as a viable option for creating visualization dashboards. I created a commercial opportunities dashboard related to retail marketing, along with many other dashboards. I worked for a car company, but I cannot disclose that information at this time. The dashboards included marketing-related content, retail information, and sales data from past years along with the locations where sales occurred. Qlik Sense helps create not only impactful and eye-catching dashboards, but also allows data to be refreshed automatically. There is an SQL query that is already built into Qlik Sense, so I can modify the data or refresh it based on specific requirements so that the data automatically updates and the values of KPIs, bar charts, and other visualizations change accordingly. Retail and sales data typically changes hourly or daily, so daily refreshes are necessary. This is where Qlik Sense proves to be very helpful, and there are several other use cases available as well.

I am working in data analytics. They are the best solutions in the industry. With Qlik Sense, there is a way to integrate it within the company for sharing. It is good for certain use cases, though there are positives and cons for it as well.
The main use cases involve getting data in an analyzable format. Clients should be able to analyze it through a self-service tool, which is why Qlik Sense was the better choice. Self-service is the primary use case they had as clients wanted to perform self-service analysis. Additionally, they wanted to automate workflows along with the analysis. They aimed to have action-driven analysis, focusing mainly on dashboard analysis and automated workflows depending on the analysis they perform.
Qlik Sense is a kind of modern BI tool that allows me to integrate multiple data sources, providing governed access. I can build all my dashboards in Qlik Sense, which are of very high quality and interactive. I can easily drill down from one piece of information to another. This is the main purpose of using Qlik Sense, as it's a standard BI tool. A very good point about Qlik Sense is that it is an in-memory data tool. Even if the data volume is quite large, it stores my data in memory, so whenever I need it, it can render it at high speed.

In the bank, since 2017, I have found Qlik Sense to be a valuable tool. Our use of it primarily depends on the user release. We use Oracle Analytics Server for a CPU release, and alongside that, we use Qlik Sense for C-level, regional managers, and branch managers. I don't use Qlik Sense personally since my bank prefers it for C-level managers. Although I don't use it directly, another department uses it to prepare reports for Qlik Sense, targeting end-users like C-level users.
I use the solution in my company for dashboard building and reporting purposes. In my company, we have a lot of dashboards that are live, and we also work with quite a lot of reports.
My clients use Qlik for in-depth analytic analysis, creating touchboards for a variety of purposes. In our case, we prefer an on-premise solution over the cloud, especially for a banking client, to ensure data security and compliance with industry regulations.

We have a lot of customer types, but many work with ERPs. We use Qlik to connect to the ERP, analyze data within it, and build dashboards. Sales analysis is usually the first project because sales are crucial for every business. However, we also analyze production, manufacturing, and even public administration data depending on the customer's needs. So, our main areas are manufacturing, finance, and the public sector.
The use cases depend on the industry. Finance, Telco, Manufacturing & Consumer Goods (CPG). Most of our customers are from these industries. We have regular projects in Mexico. Some use cases are around government requests to all banking and financing institutions, as well as public companies, to present specific reports every month. We use the solution to generate the reports for our customers. The sales and finance areas have a lot of requirements for such reports to get insights and predictive analysis.

My company uses the solution in 60 municipalities in Norway. In my country, the public authorities mostly use the product for municipal planning.
The scripting in it is very strong. So, I use the Qlik Sense for scripting.
