QlikView Reviews

Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models. In our case, we use for this modeling for the calculation of cost allocation and transfer price and the like. It is very helpful. It's a really powerful tool in modeling creation.

It has helped us to implement the accounting management system and provide a very comprehensive solution for this. Also, I already mentioned cost allocation system, transfer pricing.

It's also very helpful in visualization of the data from our operation systems. Because we are a bank, data creation is very important for us, so it's another model.

It covers many things, including current exposure, the coverage of loans, etc. In these areas, it's the most comprehensive and most helpful of the tools we're using, based on this platform.

I would say it's not negative, but it's an issue because we also use other tools, like SAP BusinessObjects, for a long period of time, which is another product in the business intelligence area.

Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models. Probably that could be more comprehensive, from my point of view.

Four or five years, already.

Yes it's stable. Not 100% but, really, compared to other products, it's a stable product. It's controllable. And the maintenance received from local partners is very good, at a very high level.

No problems.

We have both technical support and support in the development model from the local partner of QlikView. I would rate it at a very high level.

Because the majority of BI tools are focusing on processing a significant mass of data, we were looking for a more analytical tool with the possibility to quickly build models, and we found it. On the other hand, QlikView has some constraints due to the architecture, so it may not be applicable for millions and millions and millions of data records because it requires significant expenses for the hardware. But, as an analytical tool, it's very interesting.

It was very easy because we started by using the free version of QlikView. After that, we bought everything, including a server license. So, we had no problems with this.

At that time, we already had BusinessObjects as a BI tool in our bank, with SAP Crystal Reports, for example, as a part of BusinessObjects. At that time, in the market, there were no alternatives in this respect, so our choice was very precise because already we used this tool and we decided to buy it.

I would recommend this product. We have a lot of reference meetings because we were the first bank in the country to implement it, this platform. So we're meeting our colleagues who are working not only in the banking industry but from telecom, from the pharmaceutical industry, etc. We recommend it.

It's one of the best products in this segment, for BI, for the automation of analytical activity within the bank or within the company. It doesn't 100% cover everything, but in the area, it works very 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.

Customer Service:

It's very good.

Technical Support:

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.

Ease of use, visualization, intuitive, the Qlik method of ETL, Qlik Sense

Analysis in real time, predictive analytics, reporting

Server performance. Reloading of data sometimes weigh down the server's performance.

1 year

No issues with deployment.

Slight issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

SAP BusinessObjects. Change in business requirements.

Vendor - 7/10.

Yes. SAP BOBJ

I think it's the best data analysis/discovery tool I've ever seen.

I'm currently using it also for my personal and professional productivity: e.g. stock analysis, project management dashboards.

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.

4 years

Not in the last couple of years

It really depends on your analytics. You have to think and design your documents and/or analytics for large scalability if you think you need something like that.

Customer Service: Medium/LowTechnical Support: Medium/High

I never replaced a tool with QV in my working experience. For my personal productivity, it mainly replaced excel.

Everything is quite easy and straightforward

We implemented in-house with limited support of the vendor team

Server licence (about 9k USD) + maintenance and a bunch (increasing) of different kind of user licences (average $500 each).

Mainly SAS, Microstrategy and Microsoft BI

Well, it really depends on what you're looking for. It's not a reporting product, it's an analysis/data discovery tool and it does it really well.

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.

We use it for dashboard reporting.

It needs JDBC connection for different databases.

I've used it for five years.

No issues encountered.

Consultants setup our tools.

I think it is good. We took awards area of Big Data Technologies and we give some free or paid services to our customers.

You should try the trial version. if it is usable for your business, you should buy it.
