QlikView Reviews

• Easy to use in small/middle organization
• Cheap tool when compared to MicroStrategy
• It does require a separate ETL tool

It helps to provide answers quickly for critical business questions. It has reduced our time spent on data entry and manipulation and can identify areas for cost cutting.

We've used it for three years.

It's good.

It's a straightforward set-up. You can start working with QlikView immediately after installation.

I have implemented it for different clients.

I also use MicroStrategy.

If you are having small business set-up then you have to go for QlikView else MicroStrategy is more stable for big organisations.

Speed of in-memory processing
Associative model - no more cubes
Speed of development

We create BI solutions so our customers benefit from solutions that are delivered in weeks rather than months and we look good by providing timely value-for-money solutions

Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense which is getting stronger and sexier with every release 5 a year from now - June 2017).
Qlik Sense makes selling "Qlik" easier - the only "negative" aspect is that the "self-service" capability of Qlik Sense means less consultancy for our company but more customers!

Gartner and others have a good reason to rate it so high. Amazing product.

The dynamic way in which you can analyse data.

We are now able to get information when we need it without running reports or it taking a huge amount of time.

Cost: The licenses are expensive.

Eight years.

No.

Only due to the costs.

An eight out of 10.

Straightforward.

The system needs some technical expertise to set up and can be expensive, but once set up, it works well.

Data mining and consolidation are the products most valuable features to me.

I was using this to track KPI’s on my outsourced end user support (ticketing, resolution & time it takes to resolve). This forced my contractor to deliver because QlikView provides an analysis of the issues as they appeared.

I would like to see improvements to scheduled reporting and the capability to email the user.

I have used this solution for over four years.

I was using the cloud-based solution, so I didn’t have any issues.

Technical support was super, can't complain.

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

Set up was easy. Being technical, I found it easy and straightforward.

For our installation, we used the vendor. However, for my peace of mind and understanding, I was involved throughout the process.

ROI was not a consideration for me, though I would would say it was a great tool I would have equally gone for, even if it involved doing the ROI.

My use was more about service measurement & improvement.

QlikView Desktop Enterprise allows us to build dashboard visualizations in a fashionable way and allows us to make quick business decisions all over the enterprise.

The improvement was much more related to be able to link different data sources to the same visualization. Now users have access to a one-stop shop for their data queries.

I believe that improved analysis prediction capability would be more than welcome in QlikView. If we could simulate scenarios in a more intuitive way that would be a nice-to-have feature.

Besides the fact it’s quite a useful tool for data visualization, the final user interface is not that intuitive. That might be the idea with Qlik Sense, which we haven’t had an opportunity to experience yet.

Prepare your data warehouse platform. The more time you spend on DW development, the more your users will be able to take advantage of the data analysis.

I've used QlikSense for six months.

Not really.

No issues encountered.

It's very good.

I haven't had a need to contact them.

We used Cognos BI which was fast but a bit complex.

We used an in-house team.

It's taken six months to get an ROI.

It was free to download.

We also evaluated Tableau, which we also use, and Cognos BI.

Try it alongside Tableau as depending on user preferences and other requirements, either product will do the job.

QlikView's associative data model is the key feature of this application, which makes it superior amongst other competitors. It eliminates left, right, inner joins, and takes care of creating links between different tables.

Other valuable features are the Power of Gray, on-the-fly data cloud creation, and its ease of use and deployment.

With the Power of Gray, QlikView shows you what you are doing and what you are not doing.

New graph / chart objects need to be added.

I have used QlikView for the last four years.

Deployment with a big data cloud is a challenge so far.

Technical support is very good.

Initial setup was straightforward.

Before you start implementing it right on your computer, you have to design the data model on paper. Once you have an error-free data model on paper, you can finish the project earlier than planned.

Pricing and licensing depends upon the offer made by the vendor. However, QlikView ROI is extensively very high. We have seen it when we receive upsell requests from clients.

There are different tools in market, we have to differentiate between visualization and analytical tools , QlikView is analytical and descriptive tool.

Completeness in functionality and user friendliness are the product’s most valuable features.

Efficient reporting and analysis saves time and improves business insight.

I would like to see a modernised user interface.

I have used QlikView for seven years.

I did not encounter any issues with deployment, stability or scalability. It's a well-proven mature product.

I rate technical support 10/10.

We used MS Analysis Server & MS Reporting Services for some years and compared to Qlik products, it was inflexible, old-fashioned and slow.

Initial setup was straightforward as an all-in-one product, compared to Microsoft’s product stack.

An in-house team implemented it.

In the starter pack, you get a lot and the ROI is definitely less than a year.

I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an online reporting and analysis BI product. Not to use only as a report generator; it's far more useful than that.
