Prior to Qlik Sense, we were using QlikView, and shifting to Qlik Sense provided a much more modern architecture. Prior to QlikView, COGNOS was heavily leveraged.

The switch moved us from a very manual, spreadsheet/PowerPoint-based reporting to a much more fluid, dynamic, and interactive solution.

The main reason we went with Qlik Sense is that we have multiple systems, so we take data from multiple systems then we present the data in a single dashboard on Qlik Sense, so it's a very good tool for that particular purpose.

We evaluated Tableau and QlikView before.

My entire career I've only dealt with Qlik only.

I had already used traditional BI, however, the change or evolution process was very time-consuming. We achieved more agility with the use of Qlik Sense.

I have used Power BI, however, I did not use this platform intensively. I used it very rarely.

SAP Business Objects. They were very expensive and lacked the dashboard capability side of it. It was also very complex and needed more internal resources. Every request would take longer for it to be developed as well.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

We used QlikView, however, it was too old and unsupported.

Previously, we used QlikView, but we upgraded to Qlik Sense based on an OEM suggestion that QlikView was about to shut down, so we should migrate in order to keep our support from the OEM and technical partners.

Yes, we used a different visualization tool before Qlik. At the time we made the switch, we did a comprehensive evaluation based on a list of our success criteria and Qlik scored more points compared to other tools. Some areas where Qlik scored more are data load, security and performance.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

We adopted Qlik as a replacement to spreadsheet-based reporting and analytics.

I've used multiple solutions in BI. Qlik has proven to be flexible, powerful, and friendly to both developers and end users.

We still use IBM Cognos but only for it's Excel grid features.

We previously used Tableau and Power BI, I switched companies, not solutions, but I'm personally happy with Qlik Sense due to its complexity compared to the others.

We did not use a previous solution.

No, I didn't use any other solution previously.

We did not use a different solution previously.

We did use something else, however, the product was not relevant anymore.

Prior to Qlik, our data modelling and reporting process consisted of SQL -> MS Access -> MS Excel -> MS PowerPoint; when requests or report criteria would change, that vicious cycle would be repeated and sometimes it was painfully labor-intensive. Qlik optimized the data engineering aspect and packaged that entire process into one place.

We used QlikView before (and still have some reports on this). We changed when Qlik ran a good promotion to get people to switch. I had used the product before and knew the benefits that come with Qlik Sense (i.e. the easier self-service for business users), so I was happy to get the chance to switch.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

We currently use SSRS and QlikView in addition to Qlik Sense. We like to enhance our offering. SSRS reports can take much longer to develop than Qlik reports. 

Prior to this solution, we used Longview (Arcplan). Very hard to maintain, question-answer concept on the SQL Server basis. We needed an easy to deploy data visualization solution that was mobile-ready and had a strong analytical engine. Qlik Sense was the right one for us.

We had been using QlikView and started exploring QlikSense.

I was not part of this process.

I have worked with Palo Alto and Power BI.

I previously used a combination of SQL and Crystal reports. It takes a lot more time and effort to get similar results. Qlik does much of the work for you, like a great assistant.

I've used QlikView as well.

I was using Microsoft Excel and now I use Qlik Sense. We first started with the desktop version of Qlik Sense and then we migrated to the enterprise. We are now fully integrated with SAP and Salesforce. It has been a long time since we have been working with Qlik Sense as a first tool.

Business usually wants to explore new options on how to analyze data. We felt that new tools might offer new capabilities.

• Oracle BI (OBIEE)
• Cognos (IBM Advance Analytics)
• SAS (for data visualization)

We used (and continue to use) SAP Business Objects 4.1 Edge (and all the embedded tools...). We acquired the SAP BO licenses to initialize our business intelligence project. But, our bigger problem is using lot-and-not-linked tools to generate insights. Some of our needs are only answered by Explorer, another only by Dashboard Design (Xcelsius – and it’s so old...), another only by Lumira (and can’t be viewed on LaunchPad – The Web-Portal of BO - forcing users to install the app on their machines without mobile support).

Our previous solution was too difficult to use when obtaining new content.

We currently use QlikView.

We did not use other solutions, but we did test several solutions prior to going with Qlik Sense.

I previously used Tableau. However, Qlik got things right by designing a platform first.

We did use Cognos and PowerBI and we switched because of the demand of our clients.

No prior BI tool was present. 

We previously used QlikView (and still use it for some of our internal users).

I do not know whether a different solution was previously used.

There was nothing that was being created - except for some of the geospatial/map features - that couldn't be done in Excel.

We did not use a comparable product prior to using Qlik Sense.

We used MicroStrategy but in comparison to Qlik, it was way too complicated and slow.

We are currently using SAP and Qlik Sense.

We previously used Power BI.

• Excel-based reporting to more engaging tools such as Qlik

We switched because of the ease of use and it's ability to update on the fly.

No previous solutions.

We use QlikView at the moment, but QlikSense is more modern and can be integrated with web-based systems.

No.

I used Pentaho and SpagoBI for a while, but they were unstable, due to Java versions and application server environments (Tomcat, GlassFish, NetBeans and so on).

No, we did not have previous solution (except Excel).

No

QlikView. Qlik Sense is a newer version, and more user-friendly, with no charge for servers.

We did not look at any other solutions.

We used MS Analysis Server & MS Reporting Services for some years and compared to Qlik products, it was inflexible, old-fashioned and slow.

We previously used QlikView. We switched because QlikSense has better visualization capabilities.

I used to implement QlikView. The main advantages of Qlik Sense are responsive design and that it is easier to use.
