Qlik Sense Other Advice
My recommendation is to use it. It's a unique product in the market due to the technical reason of the associative experience. This is a unique experience for BI products.
If you want a tool or a system for business intelligence, Qlik should be one of the candidates. It could be perfect option.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

My company is using the dashboarding tools of Qlik called Qlik Sense and QlikView.
I can't remember exactly which version of Qlik Sense I'm using, but it's the version released in November 2021.
My company is happy with Qlik, in particular, QlikView and Qlik Sense, and as of now, there's no drawback identified, or anything creating problems, but because I belong to an SAP-driven company and most of the ERP is SAP, my company is looking into an SAP product such as SAP Analytics Cloud, but my team has not started any project, just looking into the solution.
My company has around two thousand Qlik Sense users now. Right now, because my organization has five thousand licenses, with just two thousand licenses being used, there's no plan to increase Qlik Sense usage.
I would recommend Qlik Sense to anyone looking for a reporting tool.
My rating for Qlik Sense is eight out of ten.

Definitely go to the cloud. Use the SaaS solution as it offers more capabilities and you don't need to be concerned about the back-end management. If fully going to the cloud is not possible, think of a hybrid solution.

View full review »Qlik Sense is excellent for Leadership reporting purposes. Its specialty is quick data rendering, and data drill-down, which has been quite useful. The GUI is excellent.

My advice is to just look for what your organization's needs are. Every org is different and may need different licensing and architecture.
Just go and use Qlik. You will never look back. Happy Dashboarding !!!
View full review »The cost of licensing seems high and yet it is worth every penny, as the delivery of the panels is very fast.
View full review »Some reports are not fully translated from the old QlikView version into the modern Qlik Sense, including some basic reports in the construction business. One main report is missing because if it was completely deployed in the new Qlik Sense system, QlikView could be closed forever because QlikView's so old.
QlikView only produces aggregated amounts, so you can never trim down in it. In Qlik Sense, it's the opposite. The results are produced by collecting the specific entries, so you always have to trim down, which is obviously the better approach.
Qlik Sense is a good tool for BI in order to connect in normal circumstances, but not for integrated data tables in big ERP systems. I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten.
View full review »Keep building and always turn to your colleagues in the Qlik community when you need assistance.
Qlik: Keep up the good work, but I mean what I say about your data engine. It could stand some enhancement. I would never recommend anyone away from your product because of it, but adding power would only increase your products' abilities and ultimate success.

Qlik is using what they call "Associative Model". While this is what give Qlik one of its benefits and for you (the developer/user) the ease of building rapid dashboard and reports, Make sure you truly understand this "Associative Model" before you are stepping into the role of building the data model for the solution.
View full review »I would say when you start with this tool, take the time to prepare the data first before creating reports and showing the business (especially if you are the only one doing this). This will help with getting ready for giving users the ability to create reports themselves, as opposed to them having to ask you all the time.

Invest in memory and RAM for the PC or server you intend to use Qlik Sense on. Ensure you have all the necessary resources and connectors installed for proprietary databases as well, if you are keen on some form of integration to web/projects.

Before implementing Qlik Sense, my advice is to carefully assess its development needs, as custom components may require coding. While the deployment phase is generally straightforward, take advantage of Qlik Sense's flexibility in data modeling, allowing developers to write scripts for more tailored solutions. It is crucial to document projects for better collaboration among developers. Overall, I would rate Qlik Sense as a seven out of ten.

I am a customer and an end-user.
I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.
There is a lot of data that can be useful for anyone. I'd advise potential users to do good training, see every page that Qlik Sense has, and then start using it.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

My advice to others is to make sure they have a good technical team. We have found that a lot of the consultants go in and out of the business and sometimes you are left alone without assistance. We have been using two solutions simultaneously and I would not advise doing so, focus on one solution at a time.
I rate Qlik Sense an eight out of ten.

We are a reseller. We do implementation and deployment as well. All types of businesses use the product, from small to large enterprises. Company sizes range from a few people to thousands of active employees.
Qlik Sense, of course, is a new product that sort-of replaces QlikView. A lot of our customers are still using QlikView. Therefore, we are still using the product, but we're not actively selling it anymore. We are supporting it because all new customers are Qlik Sense.
While we mostly deal with on-premises deployments, the cloud is quickly becoming more popular and has just become available for this solution recently.
The advice I would give to other organizations would be kind of general. For BI projects, the trick is to start with the business value and then find the data to support the business value. Don't try to start with the data and then try and find the business value for that data.
The tool really is a good tool and you can do almost anything with it, but just using the tool is not going to deliver value to your customers. You need to help your customer find business value in what they want to do and then deliver the solution for them.
I would probably give the solution a nine out of ten. The reason being that it is a product that offers real value to businesses and it offers it fast.
