Qlik Sense Reviews

What I like most about Qliksense is the ease in which you can portray the information, also the duplicate function helps you to customise your sheet until you like it over and over again.
Also it's really easy to convert an information table into a pivot, graph (any kind), filter, etc.
Also the export feature as well as the filter can help you greatly to get just the information you want in the format you want.

Sadly when you work with a lot of information lines or put to much formulas into a report it will limit how you can export it (you have to filter by parts to get the full report) or it will not show the information and you will have to filter the overall report to just visualise the information you need.

Qlik Sense is very well suited for companies without a proper data warehouse.

- It is fairing very well in sales analysis and KPI management.

- Mini QVDs can act like a mini data warehouse.

- It builds mini data warehouses.

- It's good for the merging of data.

- It connects well with other systems.

Qlik Sense is good for simple analytics. However, it is not that easy to set up "what if" scenarios, more advanced statistical analysis, and custom stuff.

- The coding of equations is quite complicated.

- Better customer service from sales.

- Better customer service help with solving problems with the tool and upgrades.

- Better user-friendliness for writing equations by the end-user.

Speed. Qlik Sense loads data quickly into memory and analysis is stunningly fast. It is very easy to get the information you need quickly and begin to make decisions. Slicing and dicing the data is very fast as well. Having used competing software like Tableau, Qlik Sense is a breath of fresh air. There's no waiting time during analysis and that keeps a person focused on the application and gets the person curious about information being presented.

The software's support model is horrific. Qlik uses value added resellers (aka VAR) for the most part. Most VARs I have talked to aren't exceptional and provide absolutely no valuable support after selling the software. They basically add zero value. Qlik has no idea what VARs are doing and VARs have no idea what Qlik is trying to tell them. Getting a license key correctly can take a few tries. Great software, horrific delivery. If I were the CEO of Qlik, I'd change the business model and remove VARs altogether and bring sales, marketing and support right into Qlik.

I like ETL within QlikSense. You don't need additional software or changes in your database or data warehouse to have full control about your data. You can do this ETL process within each app.

Some connectors are very expensive, for example SAP connector.

Qlik Sense is a powerful solution with best in class ETL capabilities, which simplifies and speeds up developments and enables a collaborative approach to data. Qlik Sense not only delivers great data visualization features but also offers a comprehensive set of tools which helps to collect data from various sources and deliver insightful dashboards. When it comes to interactivity Qlik Sense set the standard while the competition truly lies behind. I recommand any company on the market for a BI / data viz solution to consider Qlik Sense no matter what their size or industry.

I hope in the future Qlik will embed Nprinting features in order to generate pixel perfect documents from the Qlik Sense platform. Automated alerts also would be nice as well as a centralized data management for common dimensions and kpis between apps.

Easy to use and very intuitive UI for business users.

Lack of standard IT supporting features for support of content like versioning.

Very well architected in the back end, with loads of security and functionality to leverage. Easy to use from a self-discovery standpoint for even the most basic data lover. Covers our 80/20 rule of 80% self-serve and 20% access to raw data for advanced analytics.

Get's a bit clumsy top administer when your user base grows, unless you staff the tool with a decent administrator. Set your expectations early with the business on these needs, or you will struggle maintaining the tool while fighting for additional resources. A bit pricy at entry level, but more than pays for itself with big revenue gains.

The quickness and ease of building tables, charts, graphs, etc. in the front end.

There is a distinct lack of technical resources when you are not dealing with sales and financial data.

1. It is self service BI tool, ease to use.
2. It has both ETL and Data Viz layer
3. Business user with structure data can quickly create dashboards out of it and share with others
4.It supports sending static reports through NPrinitng and embedding to another web application through Mash up.

1. It needs to add more visualization capability.
2. NPrinting development needs to be easy and less time consuming.

Qlik sense by itself can be a little lacklustre at times—but with the help of extensions—most problems and shortcomings can easily be overcome, making it very versatile in most situations.

On the other side of the coin, the base product can be lacking in some aspects without the use of said extensions. You need to do to research, as well as testing to find the right extensions to solve your issues.

The best of class business discovery software in the market.
It's ability to handle large volume of data
APIs that can extend its capabilities

Qlik Sense still lacks some functionalities and features that are so useful in QlikView. For example, Alternate States and AND-mode.

Its association engine is killer and at the heart of BI. Depth of customization available and ease of use.
Also connect to a lot of data sources and create a single view of all your data.

Product has everything that a business intelligence tool should offer. There is not much negative to it

Qlik transformed our analytics capability and allows us to serve insight at a national level for clinical research activities.

The tool is a little monolithic and has never really performed as expected once migrated to a cloud platform especially in terms of memory use.

Constantly evolving and building on features recommended by the user base.
Excellent range of out the box connectors and easy data source setup.
Leveraging AI and NLP which just improves the user-friendly nature of the product.

Advanced/customisable visualisations require third party extensions to be installed which add to cost.

QS has been helping us for a few years now. It provide us ready-to-use tools for quick insights. The desktop version gives you the chance to develop data models real fast. Data sources are practically infinite, so you can get your data connected no matter where it is. It's very intuitive for the newcommers but a strong tool for more advanced users. Dashboards and other insight visualization comes to life real quick.

The license schema and insights distribution, you need a QS Server to do it, so you need to manage your Budget wisely.

The drag-and-drop feature is not as limited as many free softwares that are used to create dashboards and reports.
On the other hand, the Storytelling function helps to access the original analysis

It does not have a function to establish specific schedules to receive BI reports through an email.
Another point against is that the business version is expensive so it is not accessible to many.

User friendly
Fast response
Responsive design
Access everywhere
Doesn´t work with all of the browsers

No expert personal support
Too many partners in LATAM
Some features are too basic
The online posts are from people who are not part of the develop team

It's easy to use, administer, and visualize data. Getting business users to view reports has become so much easier with this tool.

So far there has not been anything that we've had problems with. The support for the product is fantastic and any technical issues have been resolved with a quick phone call.

Great tool to manipulate data. Easy, Boolean lines can be written to get calculations for metrics. Much easier to manipulate raw data compared to Excel.

Does not have all the functionality for visual display. Would be nice to have more control over color scheme in a easier format.

Ability to quickly find what you are looking for using associative search capabilities. Large partner base and easier development cycle.

The only major downside I see is that there is no built in data-level security within the software itself

unique dashboards, accurate data, data vizulaiation

large data recovery exporting is a problem sometimes

Qlik sense is one of the top tools for data visualization and analysis. The ability to integrate data from different sources to provide rich options of graphing the data and drill down analysis of tables. It provides easy customization and easy reporting for the data.

The no Linux supports causes compatibility problems some times. Qlik sense is not the best solution one would use for a real-time dashboard. It may require outside assistance for advanced usage.

- 2nd generation associative in-memory (QIX) engine.
- Robust data curation and wrangling capabilities
- Self-service analytics with drag and drop user interface
- Auto responsive to the resolution of web page or device.
- Very good performance and complete integration with web technologies.
- Open sourced API libraries.
- Highest level of data security at the row and column level.
- Very good community support.
- Supports hybrid architecture with one single license.

- Not suitable for all real-time use cases.
- No advanced visualizations are inbuilt in the product.

Qlik Sense has strong dashboarding and reporting capabilities. The Qlik Sense Engine Services is powerful and handles well large datasets.

There's nothing to complain about when using Qlik Sense, everything runs at it should.
