Qlik Sense Initial Setup

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The initial setup is not complex. I didn't find it complex. There is Qlik Management Console (QMC) for managing.

The tool is very easy to set up. It took me nearly two hours to complete the proof of concept. It requires a couple of days to deploy it in a productive environment.

The initial setup is not too complicated. However, approximately 10 to 15 people are needed for deployment in any project.
