Financial Controller with task of Business Intelligence Implementation at a wholesaler/distributor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified

We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

Data Science Intern at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.

* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Comparing it to development on Microsoft Access, it feels about 10 times quicker."

"It has dramatically improved development time for BI reports."

"The dynamic interactive dashboard is the most valuable feature of the product to me."

"I had used other solutions, but they didn’t give me the kind of reporting and analysis I got from QlikView."

"ROI is much better compared to BO because deployment time and cost are both reduced."

"Use QlikView for business, and Qlik Sense for BI developers."

"Strong visual capabilities, drill down function and data browsing."

"The in-memory engine is really powerful, making it possible to deal with huge data records on the fly (more than 400 million in a table)."

More QlikView pros

"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."

Cons

"No out of the box mapping capabilities (Extensions/Plugins available)."

"It is really missing a comprehensive semantic/metadata layer and security/data profiling can be hard to accomplish at corporate level without a high level of scripting."

"They could improve the speed."

"This cannot be considered a self-service product. It requires IT support."

"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."

"The pricing is high."

"Only drawback is that the server can stop functioning if not enough memory is available, so that needs active monitoring once you are close to the limit."

"It's difficult to manage big and complex data models, but the reason is that there isn't a semantic layer in QlikView, but not having a semantic layer is a good point in other aspects, like agile development."

More QlikView cons

"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive for small companies."

"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."

"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."

"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."

"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."

"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."

"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."

"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
