Qlik Sense Reviews

QS is a very useful tool for creating tables, graphs and especially data analysis. In the company where I work, we are dedicated to the development of QS extensions, which means that QS is a fully modifiable software full of versatile possibilities. QS is used by many large corporations around the world and is considered one of the best software for analyzing vast amounts of data.

The only disadvantage of QS is that when processing a huge amount of data, you can see a slower system response, but this is something that can be expected.

You need some training to work in a efficient way with Qlik Sense, but once you know the tool, you can design complete reports wich allow obtain critical information about your bussiness fast.

Maybe is more expensive than Microsoft Power BI

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 data analytics and visualization tool that empowers users to gain valuable insights from their data. One of the standout features of Qlik Sense is its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, which allows users to create interactive and dynamic visualizations without the need for complex coding or scripting. This feature enables users to quickly build and modify visualizations, making it a highly flexible and efficient tool.

However, one aspect where it falls short is its user-friendliness. The tool can be challenging for new users to navigate and requires a significant learning curve.

I like that it supports the drag-and-drop functionality besides it being able to handle large volumes of data and perform complex calculations.

It can be expensive to license and maintain, so if you want to use it, use it fully.

QikSense can get you up and running in a few hours. We connected a few databases using the connectors, added some excel sheets and in a few minutes the data model was ready to be used with dozens of widgets and charts that can be personalized.

There are still many missing formulas and functions that are available for instance in Excel but not in Qlik, so you have to work around a little bit. Avoid using custom extensions because at every version upgrade you'll find yourself with a broken dashboard.

Qliksense has a wide range of features that include interactive data visualisation, advanced analytics, data integration etc. I find it quite versatile in terms of capability in connecting to various data sources such as cloud based, big data etc.

There could be performance issues at times depending on the size and complexity of the data being used. Also, it requires a bit of training for someone new to this tool to get used to and explore the features.

Qliksense has a great interface for building GUI.
also the ability to use custom extensions allows a lot of flexibilty.

the method for creating access security rules.

Handles any Complex ETL possible
Can connect to any data source
Easy to use

Interoperability can be better and improved by added more data sources specially Microsoft products

Data is very clear and clean and easily accessible. The ability to customize the dash board and pull various reports from virtually any time period is clutch. You are able to easily see how the business is performing compared to the target performance indicators.

There is a lot of manual entry that needs to occur in order for the data to be properly displayed. Often times when checking metrics for 1 day, there will be more hours recorded than actual hours within the day (i.e. 24 hours in the day, but 30 hours have been input). Not too much of an issue if you have 1 person dedicated to maintaining the system -- but if several people are inputting data, this can become a head ache.

Qlik Sense is a lot easier to pick up and get going with than QlikView, but has most of the same underlying capabilities and benefits. It is also more of a self-service tool for business analysts as there's less technical skill required to build charts/graphs in Qlik Sense.

Qlik Sense is great, but to get the real power from it, you still need to learn Qlik's scripting language. It doesn't have quite the same level of functionality that QlikView has, but is catching up quickly. If you're dealing with large volumes of data, the hardware requirements can be quite large.

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.

Once you get use to the different widgets, it is a good system to use. If you have accessibility to all of the functions, it can make your day easier when looking for sales data.

It won't save any of your preference. It logs you out kindy quickly, it's not a system you can leave open the entire work day, you have to constantly log in if you step away for a few minutes.

Easy to install, easy to learn, easy to train users. Deployment of Qlik Sense is very straightforward.

There's a bit of a learning curve for developers, most noticeably with Set Analysis expressions and data load scripting. This is not a huge hurdle, but it can be frustrating for some people. Luckily, there is a strong user community that is very responsive and willing to teach.

+ Easy to use,
+ Qlik's associative data model,
+ Qlik Sense's user self service functionality/ self service BI

- Basic Qlik Sense is limited to a certain degree (e.g. in terms of visualization) --> there is a wide variation of extensions for nearly everything. Of course Qlik couldn't guarantee the functionality after an update. However there is already the option to pay for this service
- Some basic "office" functionalities sometimes missing or too complicated integrated in Qlik (e.g. RGB code/color settings. Why not via click box in the chart?)
