Qlik Sense Initial Setup
The initial setup is very easy. So, I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.
The deployment model depends on the customers, like cloud, hybrid, on-premises private cloud, or Qlik Cloud.
Some prefer on-premises only, some hybrid, and some directly on the Cloud. So, all options.

Deploying the Qlik Sense server took ten to fifteen days because it required a huge infrastructure. If you require very heavy dashboards, you need a very huge infrastructure, and once that is done and all infrastructure is ready, you just need to install Qlik Sense and start using it, which means you can go on building different dashboards.
You can quickly build normal dashboards within the console, but some dashboards, particularly the very heavy and complex ones with a lot of KPIs, required six months to complete, so deployment time would depend on how big the dashboard is and its use case.

The setup was very straightforward. The setup is done through 3rd-party vendors, so you just need to make sure you spend a little more and hire an experienced consulting company for the work.

View full review »The initial setup was pretty straightforward. However, a lot of expertise from the backend was required from the vendor to get the solution running. So even after Qlik Sense had been deployed, we still had a lot of issues with development and it wasn't very self-service.
As far as maintenance went, from my standpoint, it didn't really feel like there was a big team working on Qlik Sense. I'm sure there was probably scheduled maintenance that was done during off-peak hours and it didn't really disrupt any of the daily production; reports were still running as planned. There was maybe one or two hiccups towards the end before I left, but again, that was during the pandemic, so a lot of things were probably falling behind.
View full review »The initial setup is straightforward - I would rate it five out of five. We used an agile methodology to implement, starting with one module and then adding multiple modules and enhancements later on.

Setup was significantly more complex than QlikView and some of the competition but allows for more modern and robust administration.

View full review »Integration was my colleague's responsibility. It wasn't easy, and altogether it took about one year. My colleague used some consultants for support because it wasn't easy to understand, collect, and integrate the data in the correct way, but the rest he did himself.
As far as I understand, there is a very low level of maintenance because he does as much as possible by himself.

With Qlik Sense, setup is pretty straightforward. For personal use, the desktop version is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space.
For a deployment scenario, Qlik Sense is also very easy to use. I can start development from any platform, on-premise or cloud, and continue from where I left off.

Setting up Qlik Sense is easy, especially for default visuals, though coding may be required for more specialized charts. Converting from QlikView to Qlik Sense is seamless for data models. The deployment process involves using Qlik Desktop for model development and two subscription options: on-cloud, which is ready to use, and on-premise, requiring Qlik Sense servers. Maintenance is simplified with admin tools, making it accessible for a developer.
On average, for a consultant company creating reports and delivering a sales model with about five reports, the deployment of Qlik Sense can typically be handled within three months.

Manager at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
We first decided to train three people in the company with good profiles for data analytics with Qlik Sense.
We used a company that help us to make the first reports and the first setup. We had very good support from a company from Argentina. They were very supportive and help us a lot. We started to make some development from people from our company and we had help from another company to resolve some issues that were complicated aspects, such as integration. The investments for the deployment were not huge because sometimes an SAP implementation involves a license and a large investment in the development. This is not the case for Qlik Sense.
The full deployment took approximately two months.

The initial setup is quite straightforward and happens quickly.
Deployment typically takes a couple of weeks. It could take longer in certain instances.
When I say deployment I'm not talking about installing the software. That's installing the software and developing the first solution.
Most of the time implementation is only done by one person. Obviously, on the larger projects, it can take a few more staff members. For the most part, it's a one-person project and the system is not too complex to configure and set up. Normally the BI Developer is also the BI Administrator and the BI Configurator.
Maintenance would not be a full-time job. One person can handle it part-time.
The initial setup is straightforward.
