"It's user-friendly and provides data abstracting capabilities. We are also able to share reports with our colleagues very easily."

"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."

"It is not yet ready for enterprises. For a big enterprise data model, it is not so stable, and it also doesn't scale so well."
"If you have to pull multiple data sources performance is somewhat lacking."
"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"The user interface is old."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Better source data connectors."
"It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
