QlikView Benefits
QlikView has helped improve several aspects of our organization. For example, it provides us with a deeper understanding of our sales and customer service processes.
Thanks to QlikView, our sales teams now have access to real-time information, enabling them to prioritize leads, identify bottlenecks, and close deals more efficiently.
View full review »This product improved how my organization conducted repeatable analyses, such as a user access internal audit review for 500 users over 100,000 user ID and system access across 50-100 systems. My first project before we had QlikView took about a month, but after we rewrote the procedure using QlikView, it was much better and took about a week. We pretty much used the same raw data, but the report and analysis was so much quicker.
The process of gathering the data and using Microsoft Access used to take a month or so. Certainly, using QlikView as an ad-hoc tool is very powerful, yet easy. Comparing it to development on Microsoft Access, it feels about 10 times quicker. You go from raw data almost directly to reporting. (Skipping the hassle of lots of queries, forms, and slow report creation.)
As they say, "Seeing is Believing”.

We have gradually reduced laborious manual reporting in Business Units and "spreadmarts". We now have some executive using QV dashboards in weekly review meetings, in place of spreadsheets and PowerPoints. While it does take some time and IT involvement to initially develop and deploy a solution, the payback is immediate. In one particular case we were able to eliminate a days worth of manual work with a QlikView solution that required a few days of development effort. We also previously had no way for end users to routinely and easily analyze larger (100 Million+ rows) data sets, which now can be done through QlikView.

Software Developer at a construction company with 10,001+ employees
We managed to implement applications combining CRM (Customer Relationship Management) data and sales data from two completely different data sources. It's the first (small) step towards big data. CRM data comes from Update 7 and sales data comes from SAP BW, which made it tricky to combine them and make common navigation possible.
View full review »The combination of quick, agile delivery combined with a front end that allows you to easily drill through from high-level dashboards to low level details means that we can deliver according to the business case. Compared to our other tools (e.g. SAP BO), business users are using this tool a lot more.
View full review »My experience using QlikView was in a F&B chain store with outlets around the world. In such a F&B chain store, there are a lot of dishes and they are changing frequently with a high transaction volume.
In such an environment, a search function is very helpful for us when we want to find out the sales performance and trend of a specific dish.
Qlik’s associative model greatly helped us identify customer purchase behavior and we can define combos according to this information.
View full review »This is a very cool application with endless options for creativity and visuals.
While this application was loved by the end-users, the development required to build these dashboards proved to be more difficult vs. other solutions such as Tableau.
We have cut Fire Department 911 response time 8-30 seconds.
We have improved the timeliness, accuracy, and consistency of reporting.
Unmetered water reports (e.g. fire hydrants, FDCs in commercial buildings)
Wage verification requests

We have improved processes and increased compliance of firefighter training and certification, ensuring that firefighters are properly trained (“a trained firefighter is an effective firefighter”), expensive training courses no longer have empty seats, and we have improved our performance on training/certification audits from our regulatory agency.
We have engaged line managers on tracking and monitoring of program and operational budgets, leading to better oversight of the taxpayer dollar.
View full review »Overall, it enabled connecting the entire spectrum of data into a single dashboard in:
- Finance – connecting sub-ledger txn details all the way to GL
- Supply Chain
QlikView provides rapid insight that takes significantly longer to reach when using some other traditional BI tools.

QlikView allowed us to determine the sales date which was missing in the biggest sales system. QlikView helps us with detecting shortcomings in data capturing and safeguard our margin. It also enables us to forecast our sales, our revenue, and our cash-flow.
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.
View full review »QlikView is used internally for financially-focused groups. It has moved folks out of Excel land into interactive/shared analytics.
View full review »We have used code to create a calendar effect. We then loop through that calendar, executing SQL at the end of each month. This is not easy to mimic in normal SQL, and would require an SQL package to perform such a thing.
QlikView allows us to perform these feats with ease.
View full review »Meetings are now proactive rather than reactive with analysis conducted straight away. We're making better informed decisions - and more of them!
I have automate a complex set of analysis within a matter of days (as a relatively novice user), that had taken weeks, with less useful outputs, in other software.
View full review »We are service providers and built applications for our customers, not for us. Our customers are able to evaluate their marketing campaigns at the aggregated and customer levels. They can use micro-segmentation to select the leads.
View full review »Powerful, scalable, and a bit addictive, allowing you to "see" your data in ways never thought possible. We can now take medical stats presented in an academic journal and applying them to community-based medicine. This literally changes physician behavior like no other tool.
We were struggling with running application reports, and were spending substantial time, and high-end resources to deliver the basics. Implementing QlikView for our clients also allowed us to aggregate our client-based data and see "What type of reports are they running" "What time of day" "Which users". This data alone allowed us to immediately focus on the points of user experience which would impact the users the most.
View full review »Qlikview can be used both as an advanced reporting tool as well as an BI KPI tool, becoming the base for continuous process improvements. In general the benefits of the tool become clear at the early development stage when the user is challenged to input clearly his ideas, problems and needs and that will affect the process in which he participates. Typically in a second iteration the key user will ask for a new release more oriented to advanced KPIs rather than just reports. This is a direct consequence of the process making things clearer and evolving. So the main value supplied by Qlikview is to reduce uncertainty, make the participants question, discover, interact with each other, and eventually improve the process. Properly used should function as an improvement catalyst for the processes involved.
View full review »This product has allowed us to create several applications and dashboards for use by management and different business units to conduct self-service analysis, as well as built-in intelligence. This accelerates business decision-making. It avoids the lengthy delays involved in requesting the information from IT or having to deal with the disconnect between technology and the business side, both from an objective point of view, but also from the customer view.
It also enables management and the end user to change the criteria of the reports and data without having to go back to IT with changes. In other words, dynamic reporting.

As a consultant for my organization using Qlik to design management dashboards, analysis and ad-hoc reports, I have seen the way it has helped many of our clients get the desired reports and analysis for their stakeholders and top directors which would normally take time and more effort to get.
View full review »Easy, low-TCO solution to consolidate and visualise data for analysis and reporting purposes.
It provides better visibility of the company's position and its operations.
View full review »Thanks to Qlikview we have been able to set up and share dashboards across our services. We can monitor our internal productivity and revenue, but as well our client’s activity and be proactive if we see a sudden change in volumes. We also monitor our service levels.
Qlikview is giving visibility to our directors and VP , accounts department, as well as operational managers who can follow on their teams productivity.
With the solutions of QlikTech, we are able to provide management with requested reports with proven data within a short time.
We can scale the user properly for the report environment in different and multiple ways.
Preparing actual daily reports without requiring additional manpower was the biggest benefit for our company.
View full review »The models created by QlikView have put critical information at the fingertips of management for decision-making processes. Our warehouse and distribution managers now have a view of the movement of stock, fulfilment of orders and can plan for demand more proactively. We produce our management sales dashboards daily and use the tool to integrate proof of delivery documents with sales orders.
View full review »With QV, literally all departments across the company have started “owning” data in terms of getting hands on data, knowledge about data, how it is built up, and the ability to slice and dice, add, expand, or decrease the size or granularity of their own reports.
This in turn has in general decreased the “fear” of touching applications on computer. With backups maintained by IT, people are given more freedom to try and change applications themselves.

View full review »The product has reduced the number of reports that were previously constructed manually by users. It also allowed us to prepare a single report using a common data source for all users.
View full review »It improved development, because we could just put our data into it and start working, even with datasets with millions of records. Its high speed has also improved my organization.
View full review »In my current organization, we use QlikView and we love it. We feel that for us it still does the best job possible. We want to be able to create
beautiful visualizations like we could with Tableau, but we also know that the flexibility we have in QlikView is not possible in Tableau.
Also, as of now, we have IT-driven BI and self-service is not what we are focusing on. We don’t have separate tools for ETL jobs. We think for our purposes, QlikView is better.

View full review »Using QlikView models, we've improved after-sales service in several of the products we offer, and we have managed to measure the profitability of our customers.
View full review »My company was recently bought out by a competitor, now forming one group. The organisations are on different versions of a particular ERP solution, and the need immediately arose, from a regional and management executive level, for a dashboard to measure the sales performance of the group as a whole. Using QlikView, we managed to pull information from two different servers - one running off a QVD file structure, the other using a Microsoft SQL Server - and provide a consolidated sales performance model. This allows our executives to be able to examine the performance of their companies from a central point.
View full review »The PoC for a new business area was not covered by the management reporting platform (controlling of IT processes).
- Built-in monitoring of ETLs (there was no advanced tool for monitoring, planning and evaluation ETLs), I work with SAP BW (i.e. RSMO, RSPCM, ST13 transactions), of course there was an option to have additional expert tool but for a lot of additional money
- Formatted reporting (PDF and export to Excel) - if necessary compile aggregate export to PDF document was not allowed to draw and do parameterized output compile or schedule it as a job with an appropriate distribution to the responsible user group, custom printing to PDF or Excel did not correspond to reality/original
Our complete BI transformation and production was done through QlikView instead of basic Excel reporting and analysis, reducing manual input, ease of automation and more reliability in numbers, thanks to fewer human input errors.

QlikView has made it possible to look at large data volumes without having the drawback of strain on the database and waiting long periods for data discovery.

We actually help the client to deploy and design the solution. It helps us to understand their problems better and provide a more intuitive solution. Plus, after the deployment, the client is able to explore and maintain the application without any further charges on the software itself.
View full review »It gives intuitive data insights to improve and optimize our global supply chain (help drive and build strategy to improve on-time delivery, reduce quality and damage returns, etc.), with a few simple clicks to drill down to the details (down to the SKU level and call centre conversation details with customers). The dashboard gives management a holistic picture on our important KPIs.

We developed a QlikView prototype based on sales data to give easy and visual access to the data. It took minutes to be loaded, compared to the existing system of traditional cubes that required hours to be loaded... to give what? Reports without any interactivity.

View full review »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.
