Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running.""It excels in supporting database connections and various database types.""The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis.""Easy to analyze data by click-through.""I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team.""The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools.""E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts.""The user interface and dashboards are very good."

Cons
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening.""Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models.""Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time.""I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields.""Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved.""For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side.""Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial.""The tool is expensive in Turkey."

More QlikView Cons →

"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view.""The solution should be more user-friendly.""In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products.""The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models.""I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market.""The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
  • "QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
  • "Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
  • "It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
  • "The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."
  • "It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
  • More QlikView Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Mostly, it's a perpetual license. We don't have any customers using the subscription right now—it's mostly a perpetual license that the customers purchase. The licensing is based on the number of elements, whereas other solutions are node-based."
  • "I believe the current licensing cost is reasonable."
  • "Since it's a negotiable rate, I would rate the pricing as a five out of five."

You need to monitor the availability and performance of applications and infrastructure, regardless of where they are, so you can identify potential issues early and address them before they impact users
