QlikView Reviews

Easy to implement.

Easy user adoption.

Data Science.

For eight years.

Not often.

I don’t think scalability is applicable to QlikView.

Yes, it was straightforward.

Use QlikView for business, and Qlik Sense for BI developers.

Because it provides data discovery along with BI solution design, it has a distinct advantage for data analysts.

Associative Experience is also valuable.

The solution can be implemented quickly (normally within three months) with a low implementation cost.

I have been using QlikView for the last four years & am currently working on version 11.2 SR14.

Deployment of the QlikView solution is more or less smooth & simple compared to other BI solutions.

Scalability is directly proportional to RAM size & the number of concurrent users accessing the solutions. We didn't see major stability-related issues post-deployment.

The Qlik support team is very active & responsive. Issues are mostly resolved on time.

I hadn’t used any other BI tool, but our organization migrated to QlikView from SAP BO because of its associative experience & quick deployment time.

Initial setup was complex with respect to building the same project environment for a different business domain.

Implementation was done directly by Qlik, which made sure the best design methodologies were kept in place.

ROI is much better compared to BO because deployment time & cost are both reduced.

Qlik’s pricing / licensing policy is fair enough.

I think the most valuable feature is the possibility of working with all types of data and sources.

Now, we have all the company´s important information gathered in one tool, so it´s easier to analyze it.

QlikView is really easy to use and it can help you manage different kinds of data, but licenses are expensive.

I’ve been using QlikView since 2011.

We did not really encounter any deployment, stability or scalability issues.

We have a good support here in Ecuador. In fact, we have an SLA with Grupo Novatech with specific times for technical support.

The initial setup was straightforward. There was a small amount of data with few KPIs.

We have an in-house team. They implement some dashboards. If there was a complication, we called Novatech.

I think licences are expensive. I think QlikTech should work to develop a cheaper licence, only to visualize data through the internet access server.

I have not evaluated any different solution. I´ve always worked with QlikView since I´ve been at my company.

I think QlikView is a good tool if your company is not big, because of the licence cost. If your company is big, it’s a good idea to have an in-house team for new implementation or for little changes, because technical support could be expensive.

I think QlikTech is working in the right path to improve the usability of QlikView with the new tool Qlik Sense.

The ability to build models that allow business users to do their own what-if analysis on the correct data.

The business was previously using Crystal running on top of hardcoded SQL stored procedures and Qlikview. Qlikview improves development productivity and allows self-help BI.

I would like to see more ‘drag and drop’ functionality as, in my opinion, there is still too much coding required to join tables correctly.

I have been using this solution for 18 months.

As mentioned, we previously used Crystal as well as Oracle OBIEE and both are inflexible and time-consuming.

Initial setup was very straightforward, plus the team had set up Qlikview previously.

We used a vendor team for implementation and that’s probably the way to go first time around, but there must be a skills transfer.

Qlikview are always willing to negotiate pricing, especially if you mention that you are evaluating Tableau as well.

Don’t believe the sales talk that you don’t need a datamart or data warehouse to run Qlikview on top of. It can run against ERP data but then the queries get very complicated and cumbersome.

• Integrated ETL
• In-memory data
• QlikView Management Console
• Front-end design.

Implemented some visualizations for:

• Orders Management
• Sales Dashboard
• Contribution Margin Dashboard
• Budget x Real Expenses Management

So now we have better control in some areas, like Sales, Logistics and Financials.

Sales, Marketing, Internal Controls, Factory, HR, Logistics, etc. all still have room for improvement.

Over two years.

No.

Yes, because at the beginning I didn't have the appropriate hardware in our servers. After an upgrade, there were no problems at all.

Upgrading server hardware.

9/10.

8/10.

No previous solution used.

It was complex because we didn't have the correct person (resource) to build the right queries. We then got someone with the right competency and things have been going well.

In-house one.

Not too many developers available in our market (Brazil).

We were using QlikView for reporting purposes.

The language support is very good. It understands more languages than other products.

The customization features are good.

The performance can be improved.

There is no automation or drag and drop functionality. 

I have not been in contact with technical support.

I have heard of other reporting tools like Tableau but I do not have experience with them.

When you are setting up QlikView, the first thing that you need to do is connect to the database. The length of time it takes depends on the size of the data. We found that for a million records, it will take between two and three minutes.

This is a product that I definitely recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features.

Linking different sources of data in a way we could not do before has really helped decision-making regarding our production and focus.

• Error handling

I have been using it 10+ years.

We have not really encountered any deployment issues.

Sometimes when developing QV applications, I encounter almost unexplainable errors that causes QV to crash.

Customer service is very good.

Customer service is excellent.

An in-house team implemented it.

• Better business

To take a good look at needs and the alternatives.

Real-time reporting is this product’s most valuable feature to me.

The decision-making process has been streamlined.

The forecasting accuracy should be improved.

I have used QlikView for one year.

I did not encounter any issues with deployment, stability or scalability.

I rate Qlik’s technical support on the high side.

Initial setup was straightforward.

We did it in-house, which I prefer.

It’s about each and every individual and organization.
