QlikView Reviews

We use it for analytics and for insight as well, what we call our standard reports, tabular reports. But mainly, to create a dashboard and analytic views.

The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information. Of course, it has the typical functionalities. For example, when I select something I can know its opposite.

For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool that combines the functions we have from one side and the other side. One application.

Also, they have not come out with new functions for QlikView. Qlik Sense has evolved but not QlikView.

Another problem is the printing. It is not a solution that comes with QlikView. I believe we had to buy it. It is not integrated. It is not the easiest to manage. It is not as easy as it could be.

It is stable.

Right now, we are facing a challenge concerning the capacity, or balancing the use of the servers. In the end, we expect to have a good resolution.

We were using a different solution and we still use a part of that solution, SAP. SAP Business Warehouse and SAP BusinessObjects. We faced a lot of problems in the migration between BusinessObjects and BW. In the past, BusinessObjects was a separate company that was bought by SAP, so we had a lot of problems in terms of integration. It was not possible to pursue these solutions with so many problems. We could not deliver solutions with that platform, so we went to the market to see which other solutions there were for creating the output: the reporting, the analytic views, the dashboard creation. 

The most important criteria when it comes to selecting a vendor are the vendor's position in the market, and the solution itself. If we are going to change from one supplier to another supplier, we must have confidence in that new supplier. Other factors are the functionality of the solution and the cost of implementing the solution.

It's not complex.

We did a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and QlikView, and we decided on Qlik. That was five years ago.

I rate QlikView at eight out of 10. Compared with the SAP portfolio, in terms of administration, I think it lacks features.

My advice, today, is you must look at the others, like Tableau or Microsoft, to compare. Everyone has their own objectives, what they want to get from a tool, so compare and see which ones respond to the requirements.

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.

It is very simple to use. When I use QlikView, I just install it and then connect it to MS SQL Server. After I make a successful connection, I can, for example:

1. Create a simple procedure in MS SQL Server.
2. Execute the procedure to get the information I need in a column.
3. Design a QlikView report that includes the column from the procedure to preview it in QlikView.

It provides sales and other analysis with good visual graphics.

I would like to see the possibility to change the program if the new program is better than last program.

I have used this solution for just three months, because we don’t have enough employees to manage it.

It requires a lot of RAM on the PC.

We will possibly continue using the product.

It is very easy to install.

Memory data management, quick analysis and reporting.

We can collect and analyze information; until now information was spread across different sites, databases and spread sheets, managed by people belonging to different organizations. Now reports are available in short time in a single source.

Graphic User Interface, the product could be improved by a smarter, more intuitive and friendly interface for graphs or reports.

2 months.

No issues with deployment. 

No problems with stability. 

Yes, we had issues with scalability. 

Not enough data to give an opinion. 

Very easy setup.

We have not yet quoted a ROI, we expect a valuable saving of time and resource by cutting manual reporting, better decision making processes, and on time strategic management alignment.

We are in early evaluation phase.
