QlikView Scalability

Arjun Meda

Assistant Vice President at HSBC India

My company wants us to embrace Qlik Sense as a whole over QlikView. Qlik Sense as a whole can be considered a scalable product.

I rate the product's scalability a four out of ten. We have more than 30 users in our organization. Out of 30, around 50% of members work on processes of different kinds of data selection. The other 50% of the members are part of a team of decision-makers.

Senior Manager: Diversified Operations at Pharmacy Direct

It is resource-intensive. So, it is not easy to scale. In my organization, we have about 50 to 100 users who are using the actual QlikView portal to draw reports. We have 5 to 10 users who are building and creating reports.

Head of Product at Quantiphi

Scalability is paramount, given that it often constitutes a significant cost for companies. Initially designed for around thirty users, our server infrastructure has undergone notable expansion over the past two years. We've exceeded hundreds of users, particularly with large clients like the government, who now boast a user count surpassing a hundred. I would rate it seven out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of QlikView around an eight or nine out of ten. While it offers strong scalability, Qlik Sense surpasses it with concepts like DashOps and extensions, allowing for more customizable visualizations.

Scalability depends on the environment and requirements. If you have large data sets, due to the in-memory nature of QlikView, the hardware needs to support your requirements.

reviewer1904634

Operations Officer Team Leader at a consultancy with 51-200 employees

We have 30 or 40 people using the solution currently.

I'm not sure of total scalability, however, based on the scalability of the data, of course, it has a lot of scalability available since we have thousands of FTD leads. We need scalability. So far, we haven't had a problem achieving it.

That said, if the solution can scale according to the number of users, I'm unsure.

As of now, project coordinators and the business intelligence team are using it.

Solutions Manager Business Intelligence at a marketing services firm with 51-200 employees

Data model, data size, RAM size, hardware CPUs and UI expressions / charts, are strongly related. It is possible to scale QV without problems, but the issue is more complex than not having enough RAM. Complex expressions at the UI level, single threaded object calculations, complex data models, huge data size, etc., can alter the performance of the QV application and thus we might think we need to scale. There are many tools to measure QV performance and to try keep them at an optimal level. Otherwise, if everything else is fine, we need to increase RAM. Actually, we have 1 TB RAM on our production server.

Product Manager - Healthcare Analytics at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees

QlikView is a very heavy RAM utilizer (all strong BI tools are). When we hit around 20 concurrent users, the user experience began to suffer. We contacted Qlik Support and they assisted us with a review of our infrastructure. We followed their suggestions to the tee, and were back with great speed!

Head Of Business Intelligence at a consultancy with 51-200 employees

I don't see a limit in terms of scalability. I can see the users, I can see a lot of numbers there since we have individual entries. We've never had trouble with expanding.

In the company, in my team, almost everyone is using it and we're about 20 people. You could say above 50 people for sure using it in our organization.

Now we don't have a lot of agents. In the past, we had more agents working with us and it was more than that.

Mostly the BI department and managers are using it. Whoever deals with the entries and the numbers basically deals with it. All of us use it daily.

Qlik Technical Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

QlikView is a memory intensive application and does sometimes start to weigh on your PC resources. Also you would need to learn some development tricks to manage unnecessary time wasting when loading large database sources, like the use of QVD – QlikView proprietary data format - for faster and efficient loading times.

Martin Zwarthoed

Database Specialist at Zwarthoed IT Solutions

The solution is scalable but you really have to keep in mind that it's configurable in application so that if you reach the maximum, you know you need to act on that. Otherwise strange things will start to happen. We had that issue one time, we added more memory and since then we haven't had any issues.

The product eats all memory you give according to the number of accesses it gets, as the navigation is buffered for future queries. Ideally, the datasets must be summarized to the granularity that the public expects.
