Real-time data with a user-friendly interface
The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data. The interface is also very easy to use MashZone could be faster and provide more support for IoT platforms. I've been using MashZone NextGen Business Analytics for three years. This solution is stable. I believe…

In-memory data storage boosts performance
The advantages compared to other BI tools show architectural differences. The main feature is that it keeps all the data in memory. It doesn't retrieve the data from data sources when I need it on the dashboard; instead, it quickly provides the desired data, making it very fast compared to other BI tools. The ROI is very high using Qlik Sense. It offers many benefits of BI. It is flexible from a developer's point of view, allowing me to accomplish many tasks compared to other BI tools. From an end-user perspective, it's convenient and performance-oriented, providing something meaningful from all the organization's data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution is made to be easy-to-use. If you can use Excel, you can use MashZone."
"Mashzone is the best product on the market for process analysis."
"The technical support from Germany is very good."
"The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data. The interface is also very easy to use."
"Set analysis is great for its power user capabilities such as performing an IF on an aggregated column. The ability to create custom coloring expressions based on values is also a good idea although not as easy as I wished it was."
"The overall ability to build quick wins with simple data to drive insights."
"Allowing the users to be able to take snapshots and create their own story without ever leaving the application is a very good feature."
"The reports are better looking than in QlikView."
"We have found the use of AI to be the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are its speed and seamless development of web technologies."
"The product has many great features like easy and fast implementation, flexible data loading, and in-memory processing, but the Set Analysis is what I think is the most valuable. It makes the product very powerful."
"Qlik has a powerful load script that uses an enhanced SQL language which is excellent for loading and transforming the data."
 

Cons

"MashZone is not very good to use with big data, statistical analysis, or financial analysis. This is not what it is built to do."
"MashZone could be faster and provide more support for IoT platforms."
"What needs improvement in Qlik Sense is the support. It could be faster. My organization had already talked to Qlik management and has escalated multiple times, so management is looking into the support."
"Better searching capabilities would be a nice addition."
"There are occasional stability problems, but Qlik support is excellent at correcting anything that arises."
"The QMC needs more work. Some of the features should be available directly from the hub. Too many duplicates/publish. Intelli-sense when loading a stored qvd would help so much with remembering column names. The pop-up windows are too small when working in the QMC."
"I would like to have the ability to better customize the visuals including changing fonts, sizing, colors, axes, and titles."
"I am starting to work with Qlik Sense SaaS these days. This environment has its own reporting service, however, one of the things that could be better for the people that are already using Nprinting, is to have a Nprinting in SaaS."
"Possibly offering some more basic, simpler templates."
"They need to make security rules to access applications and data security easier and customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"You will spend more time on educating your staff than licensing the product."
"For personal use, the desktop version of Qlik Sense is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space."
"The cost is not bad considering the flexibility and support you receive from Qlik. I believe it is worth the cost."
"Qlik Sense pricing and licensing is like that of QlikView. It's on the high side for a small company, but it’s competitive among its peers. Use of licenses (referred to as tokens) is a bit confusing. There is a login access pass for infrequent or anonymous access."
"The product is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"QlikSense offers a Hybrid environment architecture, which is very cost effective based on where the enterprise data resides."
"The costs can initially become quite high. Make sure you have a clear understanding of who will truly use the product as opposed to someone that will simply receive the end report."
"We have 20 licenses for Qlik Sense, and it is a special license that allows people in the whole company to use it over time. You buy this license and there are some minutes that can be used. For example, for the users that used only a few minutes in a month, we use this license. All the people have the ability to work with Qlik Sense. However, the number of licenses is not the number of users. The number of users that uses Qlik Sense is approximately 35 people."
