Qlik Sense Reviews

We needed a secure, dynamic place for our branch staff to view details about their respective branches. Be it how they manage cash to how well they are performing with respect to their goals, Qlik Sense is an excellent tool for meeting all our various needs.

Qlik Sense is becoming the go-to place to view data. We are relying less on Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

Though, I haven't used them a lot. I love the variables feature. Placing buttons on my sheets creates a unique user experience and clears up clutter at the same time.

I am not really a fan of the set analysis. It's its own language that doesn't quite make a whole lot of sense to me at this point. I wish it were more intuitive.

• Developing dashboards for departments to track progress.
• Automating recurring processes to save time and money.
• Offering intricate data analysis to drive business decisions.

We have been able to present data about our company and membership in ways that has never been seen before. On the fly questions can be answered with the "Qlik" of a button and drive forward discussions about policy, mission, and goals. This is now a thing of the present, not of the future.

GeoAnalytics is the most useful feature. The Master Items and the ability to change colors and themes based on expressions are also useful features. We can use either from an immediate data upload from CSV or Excel, or we can load them from our own databases.

Ultra-customization: It needs no limits on which charts can have x amount of dimensions, y amount of measures, z amount of color expressions, etc. Sometimes, it is frustrating when I want to add a field to an existing chart, only to find that it cannot be added and it requires a new chart type.

Extensions have been particularly useful in my opinion. The reason being you can simply find out if there are any other external graphs or charts out there that have been built by the community and you can simply add them into your dashboard. One nifty extension that I've discovered recently was developed by the folks at NarrativeScience (https://www.narrativescience.com/), which adds context to the diagram you have.

We've deployed to many of our internal stakeholders and they simply love it, due to the simplicity and ease of use. From the development side, we enjoyed using it because you can easily visualize the data that you have into something consumable to the business users.

The one thing that I'd like to see added is the ability to store back data into the database based on the selections a user has made. For example, if I have segmented my consumers by certain dimensions using the dashboard, I'd like to be able to store my selected segments directly to the database instead of having to export the list out via PDF or XLSX.

I've been using it for about a year now.

The only issue with scalability that I can see is that you can't export more than 1,000,000 cells at a time.

I was not involved in deployment. The setup of the desktop version, however, is your standard Windows installation process - nothing fancy.

We evaluated Tableau and Qlik View prior to using Qlik Sense. The reason we didn't use Tableau was its limitation from the extension perspective: It wasn't able to produce the sort of graph that we wanted. QlikView and Qlik Sense did have the graph we needed via it's extension feature, but we deemed Qlik Sense to be more visually appealing and thus opted for the latter (plus it's also much cheaper).

As a fairly new user working in a Sales and Marketing environment within the Hospitality industry, I use Qlik Sense primarily as a tool for visualization. It provides a view of our complex business model which consists of multiple BUs running in different sales environments.

So far, Qlik Sense hasn't improved much in the organization that I work for. We only just began the process of digitalizing our reporting and analytics with its counterpart, QlikView. The business user environment is still too data-illiterate to be able to work with Qlik Sense autonomously.

Qlik Sense makes it very easy to build interactive presentations for meetings. It has really nice graphical representations of complex material, making it easy to understand for the business users. Overall, it is very intuitive and easy for business users.

The AI of Qlik Sense "proposing" solutions is also helpful.

Qlik Sense is constantly being improved upon, updates and new product features are regularly released.

It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense.

Better control over Pivot tables, which should be made more customizable especially in terms of Totals, would be an improvement.

We have been using Qlik Sense for less than six months.

Drill down, drill down, drill down.

Our policy makers can quickly and easily make sense of the mounds of data we have for them.

It would be nice to have a better system for help tickets than a community forum. sometimes you just want some answers from someone who works for the company itself.

Qlik Sense is a very nice, intelligent product. I connect with transaction data, and it has an excellent user interface.

Qlik Sense helps us increase our organization's customer relationships and brings in more projects.

Set analysis is a powerful scripting functionality which calculates complex queries into simple terms. Also, the ease of building it.

Qlik Sense should have a conversion tool which automatically converts QlikView to Qlik Sense, so customers can easily migrate between the products of Qlik.

I am part of the advanced analysis team, and we use the tool for descriptive and predictive analyses.

It has improved the work of our team, thanks to the ability to manage complex models and thanks to the possibility of integration with different needs.

The most useful features are undoubtedly multi-device adaptability, extensions to predictive and geospatial analysis.

I believe that the area in which the product could be improved is the part related to programming and its language, which is certainly complex and still not very guided.

It uses an associative engine + an in-memory environment:

• I don't have to calculate hypercubes.
• Allows data exploration in directions not predefined.
• Can analyze huge quantities of data.

Predictive analysis is still not available and we need a different approach toward data analysis.

We have been using Qlik Sense for a few months, and QlikView for four years.

We only encountered deployment issues with Qlik Sense Server, because it's an enterprise product and needs to be strongly configured.

We had no problems with scaling.

Technical support is poor: We definitely use community support.

I used Pentaho and SpagoBI for a while, but they were unstable, due to Java versions and application server environments (Tomcat, GlassFish, NetBeans and so on).

For Qlik, we started with very simple setups. Then, through strong field experience, we approached more complex scenarios.

We implemented it in-house. We designed a set of implementation rules.

ROI is good because of short time-to-market.

Pricing is according to Qlik license fees and an applied partner discount.

Take practice courses and use community suggestions.
