Efficiently keeps track of how many mailboxes are created, how many are deleted, and things like that
We can keep track of how many mailboxes are created, how many are deleted, and things like that. It's a necessity for auditing to use a tool to monitor email tracking. So, it helps a lot with compliance. We can use the dashboard to see which Exchange servers are currently having issues, their health, and other details. The GUI is very good.

Useful for data visualization and business intelligence
Many of the features in Qlik Sense need to be available and reintroduced in QlikView. I believe many of the features have been added to QlikView after the layout containers were introduced. QlikView used to be a way more customizable tool than Qlik Sense is in the present time. 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. Hiding off the apps in the app overview tab based on the access was a really good feature that needs to be introduced back in the product since I see that, at the moment, there are multiple groups on the tool, owing to which multiple changes on the QMC part is required to handle the solution. Only the person with access to the dashboard in QlikView could have a link to the dashboard through QlikView's hub or access points. With Qlik Sense, one can see whatever is available in the stream. If a user wants to control everything in the product, then there is no need to make multiple changes in the QMC at the individual app level. The aforementioned area can be considered to improve Qlik Sense.

Pros

"The email traffic analysis feature is very useful."
"We can use the dashboard to see which Exchange servers are currently having issues, their health, and other details. The GUI is very good."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"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."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"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."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the reporting, maybe having more customizable reports would be good."
"I am primarily interested in reporting and automation improvements."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"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."
"It needs work with visualization."
"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."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"The solution is quite costly."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, where one is low price and ten is high price. It is affordable."
"The pricing of Exchange Reporter Plus is very reasonable."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."
"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
