Useful for data visualization and business intelligence

Pros

"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."

Cons

"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."

Snapshots are helpful for having a view of the data at a point in time and comparing changes, but it is expensive and far behind other modern tools

Pros

"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."

Cons

"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."

Provides ETL capability allowing the building of a complete data warehouse

Pros

"QlikView is an excellent tool, though expensive compared to other BI tools, it provides ETL capability allowing the building of a complete data warehouse within Qlik Sense."

Cons

"QlikView lacks self-service capabilities, which means users depend on the IT team to make changes."

A highly stable and efficient data management

Pros

"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."

Cons

Pros

With a vast capability to process data, it can be deployed within a few hours

Pros

"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"

Cons

"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time. "

Provides easy-to-access selection parameters, but the analysis process could be more user-friendly

"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases. "

Cons

"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
