QlikView Reviews

It produces reports quickly.

We're able to get faster KPI's in many departments.

Job scheduler needs work.

I've used it since 1 November 2012.

No issues encountered.

10/10 - it's perfect, very fast and very good support.

10/10, Heyde is a perfect partner.

Data Warehouse built with SQL,and it was too complicated, and oversized for a medium sized company, and too slow for any changes.

It was straightforward, and after the installation we had the first results in a few days.

Through a vendor, Heyde, whose level of expertise is very good, 10/10.

Even though I am not able to mention a number or time, but because we didn’t have an equal solution it's been very good.

Start small, and use this to get a close business relationship.

The DWH of our ERP.

Top down, that requests from the top-level management of how deep the drill down should be.

Amazing performance

Easy to use self service

Extremely powerful for data analysis

It has dramatically improved development time for BI reports.

Using traditional tools like OBIEE or SAP BO, BI was more like an IT dependent work stream. Now it has reached the business side, who can do their own analysis. Users can drill data without much IT help.

More flexibility to alter auto association in the data model.

Support for collaboration.

3 years

No issues with deployment, except a few hurdles for single sign on integration.

No, CPU and memory usage are not clearly presented.

Good, they need more proactive support.

Good

Yes, from SAP BO for ease of use and less time for development.

Loading data is the most valuable feature of this product to me, because we don’t have a data warehouse yet.

QlikView helps me to combine data from many data sources and represent it in the dashboards.

I think the visualization of the charts and the number of default charts provided by QlikView should be improved. QlikView only has limited chart options compared to its competitor. I think Map would be a great addition if QlikView can provide it as default chart. 

I think that the type of chart that is provided by QlikView must be added to capture the need of variety of visualization. Tableau has more charts compared to QlikView.

I have been using this solution for about three months.

I use it on my laptop with limited data. I've never used it for big data.

I chose QlikView because it provides flexible data loading that can help us present data without a data warehouse.

I implemented it by myself.

Pricing is higher compared to the competitor.

If you are looking for dashboards and do not have a data warehouse yet, QlikView is the best option.

It allows you to establish business data models on an associative basis, and to do on-the-fly analysis on associated data for deep understanding / insight.

For complex analysis, its scripting capabilities enable one to do complex calculation to present required information much easier than traditional / other BI software.

I have implemented both QlikView and Qlik Sense solutions for our customers/organizations in multiple industries.

The immediate improvements allow organisations:

• To analyse data more comprehensively (e.g. in the areas of risk management and customer profiling/segmentation) to provide greater insight / understanding
• To make data available more quickly to facilitate decision making, especially for exceptional cases (e.g. when not meeting KPIs)

Other side benefits derived from implementing such projects are:

• Data gaps: It can identify insufficient or unavailable data for making better decisions.
• Process gaps: It can identify business processes that need to be improved, e.g. manual processes that need to be fine-tuned or automated.
• System gaps: It can identify areas where the system needs to be improved e.g. improvement to existing system functions, or a new system needs to be put in place.

With such gaps and their relationship to the values of decisions, an organisation is able to prioritized resources to address those gaps over time.

Improve its table/data editor to allow easier ways to pull multiple data from multiple sources and associate them to establish a complete business data model.

Consider providing more features that allow the decision-making process of analysing different data at different levels to be captured. Maybe a decision-making flow/process editor for Qlik sheets and objects at the presentation layer.

I have used QlikView for approximately five years.

You can encounter deployment issues if you do not follow good / recommended “best practices”. Such issues can always be resolved through better design of the implemented solution.

By adhering to good practices, deployment, stability and scalability should not be an issue.

Technical support is average.

Initial setup is straightforward and much easier than other traditional BI software.

We are a Qlik implementation partner. We implement Qlik solutions for customers.

Our customers’ ROI is typically within 1-3 years, depending on the size and complexity of implementations.

Initial pricing/licensing of QlikView and Qlik Sense are competitive to the market. However, as the number of users grows, it could be costly.

You need to understand well the users’ decision-making process, the data requirements and the actions users want to take. It is OK to start a Qlik project without complete data available.

I do like the richness of details you can set up. It really allows you to set up a dashboard with pinpoint accuracy.

It was the first BI tool on the customer's site. It requires quite high skills at the entry level, so it was unused until I helped them with the initial steps.

The script engine for loading data needs a total overhaul. It is hard to use and counter-intuitive. It also blocks less-skilled users at the very beginning.

I’ve used it for about a year with one of my customers.

In general, the solution is a little problematic in terms of scalability, as everything is stored in RAM. For more complicated analysis for many users, the memory consumption is very high and requires a lot of investment in hardware.

It was already deployed when I start using it. My customer said they relied heavily on vendor.

Be very careful when scoping the market. It is a good tool, but quite heavy on skills and hardware requirements.

Data integration and visual drill-downs are excellent.

I work for a consultancy and develop projects for clients. Our clients have definitely got benefits with the use of QlikView with accessibility of their business metrics in an interactive form on their smartphones. Also, QlikView can compress and store data in its own format, which makes it faster after data loading.

• Version changes should be made fully compatible with older versions.
• Advanced analytic capabilities of model building using regression or time-series analysis should also be added in the product.

Client requirements should be clearly understood and limitations of the product should be communicated to clients before making any commitments. Often projects are jeopardized due to poor communication and unclear expectations.

There are two reasons for my rating. First, the interactivity options are limited and, second, modelling options are not available. Also, we faced challenges with version changes and in integrating it with geographical information systems.

In-memory processing and ETL function are the most valuable features of the product to me.

Because data is automatically extracted from the database, users can see the operating data and charts in real-time.

I would like to see them add a powerful map and improve statistic functions.

I have used this solution for three years.

I have encountered scalability issues. Users get slower report response time when there are a lot of chart expressions.

Technical support is OK.

Initial setup was straightforward. QlikView is an excellent product.

We implemented using a vendor team.

The license price is expensive for us.

Generally speaking, QlikView is suitable for under mid-range scale company.

The in-memory architecture and ETL function are the most valuable features of this product to us.

Data is automatically extracted from the database. Users can see the operating data and chart in real-time.

I would like to see them add powerful map and statistical functions.

We have used this solution for three years (starting with the BI project kick-off).

Dashboards’ response time is slow when the logic behind them are complex or when there are many dashboards in one QVD file.

It’s quite good and their response time is quick.

Districom, a QlikView partner and reseller, implemented the BI solution for us. Districom’s business consultancy is very strong but their technical support is somewhat in need of improvement.

The license cost is very high.
