"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"We were able to install it without any assistance from tech support."
"It has allowed us to manage our staff more effectively and frees up time for our analysts to analyze new problems and opportunities."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are the integration and panel for reports. The integration is very fast even though we process a lot of information."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The UI is very easy to use, with drag and drop self-service analytics."
"The ability to access data from multiple sources in one application. This has been invaluable."
"We began to see how our processes and other team's processes were negatively affecting the bottom line. We were able to provide tips to other teams to help improve their processes."

"The repository should be improved."
"Qlik Sense should have a conversion tool which automatically converts QlikView to Qlik Sense, so customers can easily migrate between the products of Qlik."
"Dates. My goodness, working with dates in set analysis can be a nightmare! Much room for improvement."
