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 visualization and the data modeler are the most valuable features of this product to me. I noticed that Qlik takes less time to set up data sources and enables us to integrate multiple tables. It is easier to manage variables with Qlik's data management.

As an insurer, we foresee that Qlik will improve reporting processes.

I predictive analysis is an area with room for improvement.

We will be starting implementation in August 2016.

Technical support is best in class.

We evaluated three other products. We chose this product because of its cost effectiveness, quality of services and advice.

Initial setup is straightforward. The vendor gave us a better understanding of the Qlik environment, data and dashboard development before moving to full training.

A vendor team implemented it and provided clear advice in writing.

We were provided useful advice with competitive pricing that supported our decision to purchase five licenses in the first phase of the project.

IT from some other companies have asked me, and I recommended that they use Qlik.

Fast development, support for QVD format files, and business discovery are the most valuable features of this product to me.

Before we started using QlikView, we needed to put or clean our data in four steps. Now, we just connect the database, clean it and show the information.

In the next version/release, I'd like to see mashup possibilities and real-time connections.

I have used QlikView for five years, and Qlik Sense for two years.

I encounter deployment issues but it depends on how you develop it and for what are you using this tool.

Technical support provides high-level service.

Initial setup is straightforward; you just install and use.

When implementing through a vendor, be careful with your environment.

This product pays for itself fast.

Try it. You can use just one tool for most of your connections. It's easy to maintain and you can focus on data and decisions.

With one of our Implementations at a mining house, we were able to save the company over $1 million, by cutting out surplus inventory.

The look and feel of the charts and graphs can greatly be improved.

No, server hardware sizing is very important here.

Customer Service: Excellent, good reviews by Gartner as well.Technical Support: Excellent, good reviews by Gartner as well.

Oracle BI, Microsoft BI, Business Objects XI, Cognos Reason for change: ease of use, speed in building models and applications, price, price and price.

Straight forward, the complexity lies in the creation of the data model using scripting but you can do it step by step and add sources while building, something which is more difficult with classic BI products

We are implementation partner of almost all BI suites.

Do a proof of concept first, seeing is believing.
