QlikView Implementation Team
Deployment is a swift process, especially for projects of medium complexity, usually taking around five to ten days. There is typically an additional month for various activities, including engagement with the customer and testing phases, to bring the project to completion.

The deployment process involves linking various units and requires careful project planning, including determining the necessary components, deployment strategies, and the overall timeline for the entire process. The duration can vary significantly, typically spanning from one week to several months, contingent on factors like the complexity of the customer's needs and any difficulties encountered during the migration or the implementation process.
View full review »The duration for deployment varies depending on the project's complexity. For some projects, it could take a few weeks, especially when dealing with large reports and multiple dashboards. But there were also cases where it took only a few days.
Usually, there were three or four people involved in the deployment process.
View full review »A vendor team implemented it, but it was more like a sales team. We just asked for more licenses and put the server deployment on hold for way too long.
Although users were very happy, the cross-division expansion that I felt was possible never happened.
The biggest problem out there is that most people keep thinking, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I believe that people use MS Excel way too much, and that is a symptom that something is broken.
Also, I used QV to pull data out of core systems often whenever reconciliations were questioned. (Analyzing the source directly is better than another Excel spreadsheet.)

In-house with some set up assistance provided by the Qlik sales support team.
View full review »We do our own implementations without the need for a high level of involvement from the QlikTech vendor team. Our main advice is that a good understanding of how tabular models work when designing the data model, and a good understanding of the full QlikView offering specifically in terms of ETL, are fundamental for a good QlikView implementation project.
View full review »We implemented/developed with an in-house approach.
I would advise that the first implementation should be done through a vendor team in order to have better standards/best practices applied from the beginning. It would speed up the learning curve.

Implementation was a combination of in-house and vendor. Take the time to understand the underlying architecture and deployment setup to later be able to troubleshoot the environments.

We implemented it with the help of a vendor team. (QlikTech)
View full review »We have implemented it with vendor teams and in-house ones (multiple installations). For a simple scenario with one server, just do the training and you can do it yourself. For a more complex scenario (we have a cluster of six servers in the cloud), it is better to let the vendor do it; they have the best connections for the complexities of clustering.

We have a tech team that is doing the implementation. We just send the request to the tech team. That said, it doesn't take long until they reply back to us and give us the user. I'm not sure for how long they need to install, however, my request is usually solved within an hour or two.
View full review »We implement it through a collaboration with the vendor. The vendor team is responsible for installation and configuration. And the in-house team is responsible for development.
My advice is to use a data warehouse as the data source, which can greatly reduce Qlik implementation time, as creating too many joins in Qlik is not a best practice.
View full review »We implemented this solution with our in-house IT staff.
View full review »We did it in-house, with one week of one vendor person assisting. (The four apps he helped us put together, we ended up redesigning altogether once we had a chance to use them and redefined requirements.)
Advice: Keep it simple. We know of similar organizations that used third-party implements, who created apps that were complicated to support and use, and consequently those implementations were not entirely successful. In at least once case, they abandoned the product (and haven’t done anything else that I’m aware of).
View full review »A vendor team implemented the solution.
View full review »I have implemented the solution both with vendor teams and in-house. In a previous job, I worked with a vendor team, and have worked for a partner and provided implementation support for clients.
I would advise new Qlik customers to seek out a reliable Qlik partner to help with implementation.

Implementation happened through a vendor, and their expertise was/is top-notch.
View full review »We used a regional vendor that had experts in the platform to help us install/configure/jumpstart our use, working directly with the business department in need.

View full review »In general the vendors which I have worked with were very well qualified, although not very inclined to share information easily.
View full review »We had a recommended vendor do the install on site. My only advice is to have users that are somewhat knowledgeable of the application to test. (It can be installed individually for testing.) Also, I recommend thorough testing of all aspects of loading data.

We handled the initial setup ourselves. Our internal team is very knowledgeable and can handle the implementation of new technology. Adaptability to new solutions is very easy for us.
View full review »A vendor team implemented it.
View full review »It was implemented by an in-house team; some persons on the team had previous experience with QlikView. The learning curve is very quick, but the best practices provided by Qlik must be followed from the beginning of implementing the QlikView architecture.
View full review »I have implemented it in-house and with a vendor team. Business needs need to be fully understood and documented. Most of the issues have always been data related. The development team and the business HAVE to get a full understanding of what the data is, where it is stored, and how it is stored. BUSINESS RULES and a DATA DICTIONARY are a must.
View full review »It was implemented in-house assisted by a lean vendor advisory team.
View full review »Our vendor (Decideis) helped us with the initial set up and training; we then deployed the solution ourselves.
We are really happy with their knowledge of Qlikview.
View full review »We implemented the whole environment without any additional support. Before we start working with the product, we organized in-house training from a vendor partner for developers and report designers based on our requirements.
My advice for implementation is to create a team made up of developers and IT department staff to set up the concept for test and production environments.
Training for IT and developers is available from the vendor, or if you organize in-house training from the vendor partner. Provisioning of data should be the responsibility of the IT department. You can also plan to have the vendor or vendor partner implement the product.
View full review »A team from the implementation provider did the installation and it was simple.

View full review »We developed the solution partly in-house and partly with the supplier. We took responsibility for the preparation of the database, retrieving information from the management system and preparing it in a suitable format, leaving the supplier responsible for the implementation of the loading from this database and reporting.

We implemented it in house, because we have a Qlik consulting practice. My advice is to not overcomplicate the implementation with excessive design, because the data model can grow organically over time.

Now we do everything in house. At the very beginning, before I started, we had vendor support.
View full review »This was an in-house implementation. We had the technical resources available to install it.
View full review »A vendor team did the implementation.
View full review »We implemented through a vendor. The advice I would have is to ensure that you attend all necessary QlikView courses (i.e. designer / developer), to get a very clear idea for yourself exactly how QlikView works. Sometimes sales consultants will over-sell you on the bells and whistles of a product, and when you actually want to make use of it in a particular way, you might not be able to. This has not been the case during our QlikView implementation, but I have experienced other implementations that have been like this.
So you do need to be very clear on:
- What exactly do you want to get out of a business intelligence solution, what data do you want to manipulate and analyse, etc.
- For your own sanity, be very clear on how QlikView works and that you will get the solutions out of it that you want.
We implemented it in-house with some external support.
View full review »With the help of IT teams, the QlikView online servers were set up (one for production, one for testing). So, implementation was done completely in-house.
View full review »It was implemented via a consultant partner. They were technically very good, but one should ensure the consultant delivers comprehensive documentation. A solution is only as good as the ability to navigate through it and enhance it as the business changes.

View full review »We implemented it in-house. QlikView is running in memory, so it depends on your organization to achieve the balance between cost of server RAM and performance. Besides, the data quality and accuracy is very important, no matter what powerful visualization tools are used.
