We performed a comparison between Qlik Sense and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Embedded BI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Self-service use of the desktop version with the ability to port applications into the server environment."
"We can bring data from multiple sources and easily blend it in Qlik and create a data model (star schema)."
"Qlik Sense provides features to manage and govern data, ensuring data security, accuracy, and regulation compliance."
"The extensibility of the Platform with either internally created extensions or the use of third-party provided items really opens the platform up."
"The drag and drop functionality provides an easy and fast development approach."
"Takes the super features of QlikView ETL capabilities to a whole new level with its new drag and drop feature, and extension capabilities derived from the robust Qlik API."
"Quick reporting."
"It allows you to create a new column using split on a current column, which we find very useful."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"The scalability is there."
"It is a stable product."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"The security rules should be made easier to use."
"The SaaS offering is being enriched quickly in order to attract new customers to that space and encouraging existing customers to make the switch. The Enterprise solution is therefore lagging behind SaaS in features."
"I wish the product had the ability for slightly more customization. The out-of-the box charts and visualizations are fantastic, but I want to be able to tweak it without having to add outside extensions and widgets."
"I'd like to see more end-user-friendly UI designs."
"My advice to others is to make sure they have a good technical team. We have found that a lot of the consultants go in and out of the business and sometimes you are left alone without assistance."
"Qlik has a fast learning curve due to great online training resources (Qlik continuous classroom), but those are lacking the advance features like building extensions and using the API."
"They need to make security rules to access applications and data security easier and customizable."
"Areas for improvement include user-friendliness, self-service, and some of the visualization options for generating reports."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"The solution is quite costly."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"The user interface is old."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
