Featured Reviews

Jennifer Sinn - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use with robust reporting and great visualizations
I am not sure what improvements could be made. Qlik Sense is very user-friendly. The only thing I would like to see is the ability to create a master app that opens when a user creates a new app that has all the master items, colors, logos, etc., that my organization uses. This would help with keeping master items the same across the apps and would make development a little quicker. This feature would also make it easier for our business users when they want to create an app since they wouldn't need to worry about adding all the needed data sources to it, it they were already there, and they could just press load.
Yogesh Kumar Mali - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-set up solution that helps in the scheduling of reports and dashboards
A lot of integrations are available with Zoho Analytics. There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics. The data can be in millions. There are some limitations on the reports that depend on the various combinations of data you get. So there is always an error that gets thrown out if you are building complex reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can bring data from multiple sources and easily blend it in Qlik and create a data model (star schema)."
"Qlik has a powerful load script that uses an enhanced SQL language which is excellent for loading and transforming the data."
"Data-driven decisions are now easier."
"The most valuable feature of QlikSense is that you can capture the data without modifying it and then perform the ETL (extract, transform, and load) process."
"We have had an easy time supplying content to our customers."
"The number of visualizations that are present in Qlik is very useful for our developers to help our business partners tell stories with their data. Qlik continues to add to and enhance these visualizations with each release. We are also very excited to leverage the integration between Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog as we roll that out soon."
"The ability to access data from multiple sources in one application. This has been invaluable."
"Set analysis is a powerful scripting functionality which calculates complex queries into simple terms."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
 

Cons

"Report generation without the need for NPrinting, which has limited capabilities anyway, would be an improvement."
"I'd like to see more end-user-friendly UI designs."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"The only thing I would like to see is the ability to create a master app that opens when a user creates a new app that has all the master items, colors, logos, etc., that my organization uses. This would help with keeping master items the same across the apps and would make development a little quicker."
"The reporting solution recently added to the latest Cloud version, since December or January, is not fully developed. The ability to use tabular reporting, like in dashboards, would be a great feature."
"Qlik Sense requires one to have a lot of technical knowledge."
"The one thing I would probably try to add is some kind of tutorial since the tool has a lot of options to work with, and for someone who is just starting and does not have any prior experience, it can be a little overwhelming."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The improvement needed is regarding the number of API calls. Currently, Zoho Analytics only allows us to update data hourly. It would be much better to have updates more frequently every half an hour."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing could be cheaper."
"The solution is worth it."
"The license mechanism of Qlik is quite complicated and not exchangeable. Such as 2016, they charge licenses by token, 1500$ for a token / 1 user. 2018: they change to 2 kinds of licenses: professional 1500$ / user, analyzer 800$ / user. 2019: they support subscription with 70$ Monthly for professional, 40$ monthly for analyzers, but for those you’re using perpetual licenses, they don't support acquiring more subscription licenses. The maintenance fee yearly are also high, 20% of the perpetual license."
"Qlik Sense is pretty good in terms of price."
"You need to pay 5,000 Norwegian kroner per user. Microsoft Power BI is slightly more expensive than Qlik Sense."
"Know your needs when going into the purchasing decision."
"I would rate Qlik's pricing four out of five."
"QlikSense offers a Hybrid environment architecture, which is very cost effective based on where the enterprise data resides."
"An exact ROI is hard to calculate. However, we have definitely made sales that would have been much harder, or unlikely, as a result of the speed with which we were able to prepare comprehensive analysis."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"The price is high. The solution advertises that it provides products for 55 AED per user, but these products contain only the basic features. Most of the features are locked. The version of the product that includes Zoho Analytics costs around 199 AED per user per month."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"It is very reasonable, and it gives me a good return on investment. Compared to other tools, it is the best choice in terms of pricing."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
