Qlik Sense Reviews

• Great code compatibility with existing QlikView product.
• Intuitive interface makes it easy to dive in.

Allowed us to consolidate many diverse data sets into a single customer view.

• Making it as user friendly as possible

I have been using Qlik Sense for a relatively short time, about six months.

As we were using QlikView already, when Qlik Sense came out, the main issue was how to port from QlikView to Qlik Sense, and whether it was indeed necessary

We did not encounter any stability issues at all.

We did not encounter any scalability issues at all.

I have not had any direct contact with customer service but the online community is very active and helpful.

Unsure; technical support is handled by our administrator.

We previously used QlikView (and still use it for some of our internal users).

Having had familiarity with QlikView for a few years already, initial setup was straightforward to get to grips with the basics of Qlik Sense; other areas, like connecting to data sources, will need some investigation to get to grips with when I have the time.

I had a bit of mentoring early on by a now-luminary of Qlik but I am essentially self-taught; all in-house development.

I do not know; ROI is very hard to quantify.

Pricing and licensing is handled by our administrator.

Before choosing this product, we did not evaluate other options. We already had QlikView, so it was a natural addition to that.

Highly recommended; be prepared to immerse yourself in it when you start off.

My organization offers valuable training on Qlik Sense topics. This helps us to be able to translate business needs into applications that meet the different requirements with efficiency, integrity, and versatility of the tool.

Also, the company I work for aims to help clients realize their full potential by leveraging their data. Through Qlik Sense, it has been possible to develop applications from different sectors that respond to business needs of all kinds with their particular characteristics. 

The all-in-one tool has the ability to perform integrations and the use of complex functions in the development of valuable indicators with high efficiency.

It is a solution that allows my organization to provide value to different clients. Thanks to its capabilities, we can build different requirements with less wear and time.

Also, Qlik Sense, in my organization, allows us to keep track of the time usage of all consultants in a single application. It is consuming data in real-time.

It is important to mention that it has a very high learning curve as a tool, depending on the consultant's degree of knowledge in BI. This is also reflected in user training for being intuitive in different aspects. I can speak of this from my own experience. In ten days, I reached a domain of basic-intermediate knowledge, despite coming from other analytical tools.

The versatility and efficiency when processing data is great.

The ability to integrate data within the same solution makes it incredible.

It has high performance when interacting with dashboards and reports.

Integration of data from different sources is helpful.

As Qlik Sense is an in-memory solution, the performance is fast and provides real-time insights

It offers shorter development times.

The time to assimilate concepts to start developing applications is faster than other analytics solutions, considering that this tool has ETL and Visualization capabilities.

We need more types of visualizations.

We'd like more integration of free extensions.

Even though the solution is a self-service solution, many non-technical users still struggle to create their reports.

Even though the solution is a self-service solution, many non-technical users still find it challenging to create their reports. Having a report publishing feature is also very important and is not native to the local version.

I feel that more dynamic practice-oriented documentation is required that allows non-partner users to get to know the tool and learn about it. The latter also influences the point of self-service that I mentioned earlier. It would be good if the dynamics for constructing self-service reports oriented to non-technical functional users could be further improved.

I've used the solution for nine months.

We run Qlik Sense and NPrinting on four Azure VMs as an independent BI platform to get at trapped data. 

The ETL component allows us to pull from many different sources, making pulling data in easy.

Its break-even is only two years.

Costs are a little high on the license/token side. However, if you look at the TCO, it is not too bad, particularly against Power BI. 

We been using Qlik Sense Enterprise for two and a half years. It has been one of the best decisions we made. We were suffering form trapped data and multiple sources both inside and outside of the firewall. We needed something with a powerful (yet easy to understand and use) ETL component, and this fit the bill. 

Visualising manufacturing related data for different departments. We have created dashboards for accounts receivable, department-wise spend, inventory, sales, and production.

Qlik has made life easier by visualising data. Most of the data was not being used. It was just sitting in the database. With Qlik, we are able to make use of it.

• User-friendly
• The time it takes to deliver a dashboard is real "Quik".
• Can pull the data from different sources.
• Scalable

Data modelling automation needs improvement. 

There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother.

Ease of use and connectivity to Qlik platform products are the most valuable features.

• Able to provide quick solutions to meet analytical demands

• More options in the non-scripting data load

I have used it for nine months.

I do not know if we encountered deployment issues.

I do not know if we encountered stability issues.

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

I do not know whether a different solution was previously used.

I do not know whether other options were evaluated.

It is a fast-growing new solution for self-service BI.

• Easy to use

Set analysis "language" leaves a lot to be desired; non-technical users wanted full features but would get bogged down trying to set up expressions, requiring unplanned help.

Visuals change when exported; not compatible with other products other than Qlik.

Must have Qlik tools to use Qlik files.

I’m referring to the script expressions in the visualizations. Explaining or working through something like below to an everyday user was tedious, and time consuming. Plus, it did not leverage the skillset of our developers, and switching gears from our working environment (SQL Server, Visual Studio) to a Qlik scenario was a real pain.

I have used it for one year.

We have not encountered any deployment issues.

We have not encountered any stability issues.

Data must be well staged or Qlik has trouble loading and relating data sources.

Customer service is good.

Technical support is good.

There was nothing that was being created - except for some of the geospatial/map features - that couldn't be done in Excel.

A combination of a vendor team and an in-house team implemented it; mostly in-house.

• Sunset the product; moving on to another product.

Before choosing this product, we did not evaluate other options. A salesperson got a hold on some people outside of IT/BI; need I say more.

It's an easy-to-use, fun visualization tool; probably best suited for prototyping. We explained this to Qlik Sense sales and were told we probably over bought.

I'm primarily using the solution for analyzing the traffic, sources, electronics, the approval ratio, and payments. It is very similar to QlikView.

The solution offers a lot of data you can use for analysis. 

With Qlik Sense what I really do like is that I can see the status of the leads under the page of conversion. Once I use Qlik Sense, I can see the status of the leads and I don't need to use another platform or software. I can see how many leads an affiliate sends, and I can see the status of his leads. It is also very flexible for me as well.

It's user-friendly. 

The product is very stable. 

Sometimes the refreshing it's not so updated. It's going to take 20 to 30 minutes to refresh sometimes. They're basically taking ten minutes or 15 minutes to refresh. It's got to refresh faster. 

Qlik Sense I've used less than QlikView. Qlik Sense came afterward. I've used it for around ten months to one year.

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Its performance is good. It's reliable. 

The solution offers very good scalability. Since we have a lot of data, I never miss data. We have 1,000 leads and 1,000 activities and everything is shown there.

We have 30 or 40 people using the product. 

We are using project coordinators. Payments are also using it and most probably the business intelligence team as well.

I've never dealt with technical support in the past. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

I've used QlikView as well.

I am a customer and an end-user.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

There is a lot of data that can be useful for anyone. I'd advise potential users to do good training, see every page that Qlik Sense has, and then start using it.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

We use Qlik Sense in sales. We analyze all the information about sales channels, customers, and SKUs. We work with all the final information, such as P and L, DSO, and other indicators. We have a lot of indicators from finance, such as information about quality. We are a pharmaceutical lab and have information about the number of lots that we import and released to the market.

We have connected Qlik Sense with SAP and Salesforce. We analyze the information of Salesforce and SAP, such as the number of cases that we receive, the number of the marketing campaign, and the amount of money that we are spending on them.

All the department has that analytics on Qlik Sense

The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are the integration and panel for reports. The integration is very fast even though we process a lot of information. 

The super user can also make changes. It's very friendly to work with after you have had some training. It's very straightforward to make the changes that you need for everyday work.

Qlik Sense is working very well on going to low code and development. They are trying to make their environment more user-friendly. However, the training is not free. When you want to learn more about the tool, sometimes you need to pay for the training. This does not make sense to me because training should be free because the more you learn about the tool the more you use it and the more you are loyal to the company and want to continue usage.

I have used Qlik Sense for approximately there years.

Qlik Sense service is very good, it is stable. We never had a breakdown. The service level agreement is very good.

The scalability of Qlik Sense is very good.

Qlik Sense is used by approximately 35 people in the company with different kinds of data analytics from finance, operations, quality control, and sales. We are using it very broadly in our company.

We have plans to increase our usage of this solution in the future.

I have not needed to use the support, even though we paid for the support.

I was using Microsoft Excel and now I use Qlik Sense. We first started with the desktop version of Qlik Sense and then we migrated to the enterprise. We are now fully integrated with SAP and Salesforce. It has been a long time since we have been working with Qlik Sense as a first tool.

We first decided to train three people in the company with good profiles for data analytics with Qlik Sense. 

We used a company that help us to make the first reports and the first setup. We had very good support from a company from Argentina. They were very supportive and help us a lot. We started to make some development from people from our company and we had help from another company to resolve some issues that were complicated aspects, such as integration. The investments for the deployment were not huge because sometimes an SAP implementation involves a license and a large investment in the development. This is not the case for Qlik Sense.

The full deployment took approximately two months.

We have a company that helps us with the processes with Qlik Sense. For example, the data analytics reports. A professional license allows a very simple way for users to use and modify the reports. We need an expert on Qlik Sense.

The maintenance rate and the maintenance payment that we pay to a third-party company are very low.

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.

We have paid extra to have support from Qlik Sense.

I rate Qlik Sense an eight out of ten.
