Based on where I work presently, the data analytics part of the product is not used much. I look into the data visualization part. A separate team in my company looks into the data analytics part.

Whatever is provided in SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 of QlikView is good for the visualization part. With the recent releases in QlikView, which happened in November 2023, I can do most of the things that I want with the product.

The product improves our company's ability to find insights in the data.

The product has been integrated into our company's infrastructure, where we also use Alteryx. I haven't explored Alteryx.

The product can be described as a developer's tool. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

I would recommend QlikView for a small business with very specific data needs. QlikView makes sense for small businesses with a very specific data environment where data is controlled, and there are one or two people requiring the data or reports. For anything bigger than that, there are other more modern tools that you can use at a lesser cost.

I would rate it a five out of ten because there is quite a learning curve for using the tool, and it has been falling behind other tools.

It's an incredibly versatile tool that allows you to handle a wide range of tasks. It's important to note that it may require special attention when dealing with traditional print output and similar functions. I would rate it nine out of ten.

QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data. So, definitely, one who has a large volume of data should go with QlikView as an option. Currently, as I mentioned, QlikView is upgrading its product suite, and they are adding many new tools with different features. So I think it is one of the best options if you are thinking of an end-to-end data analytics platform.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

Visualizations in QlikView helped me compare sales between different iPhone models and cities, enabling better decision-making. I also used it to track inventory balances and analyze fast-moving parts, helping optimize manufacturing and stock management.

In my experience, QlikView offers extensive customization and flexibility, allowing us to provide pan-India access to around three thousand dealers. Despite having multiple concurrent users, the application remains stable, contingent upon server size.

I would recommend QlikView to others. It offers efficient data compression with QVD, enabling faster reload times. Access control based on roles and field-level restrictions enhances data security. Plus, its user-friendly interface makes it easy for end-users to navigate and utilize.

Overall, I would rate QlikView as a nine out of ten.

I would recommend proper planning, especially because you have to build the underlying model that will support your dashboard. This is very important.

We extensively use QlikView for data visualization and analysis in our organization. It connects to ETW and Data Mart, helping financial executives visualize the data. It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities.

The integration between Qlik Sense and QlikView has proven most valuable to our business. Its speed and efficiency in processing large datasets proved moderately beneficial for our organization, with some performance challenges arising during complex joint operations.

It is a good tool to use and has efficient data visualization features. I rate it a seven out of ten.

QlikView requires a little bit of “handholding”, which was provided via a small expert group at my last employer. (Originally, we got to a “Yeah, I get it”, Eureka moment after one or two two-hour, on-site visits from the sales support team. Add a phone call or two.)

I would suggest that while returns on efficiency would be quick, it is worth it to consider expanding the user group sooner, and having a strategy to grow the user bases very early on. I compared this tool to the over-use of MS Excel and MS Access to attempt to do similar things in my organization.

And while we saved lots of time and effort in the areas that QlikView was used, the real target I had was to take PowerPoint off its pedestal for management reporting.

We never quite got there, but I envisioned that dynamic usable reports was a much loftier goal than death by PowerPoint. (But it must be said that lots of executives love their PowerPoint, which has continued to mystify me.)

I would never propose QlikView, or any other single tool, as THE definitive data visualization and dashboard tool for every organization, but it did best meet our particular needs. Organizations with more data-savvy, self-sufficient business users may find a product like Tableau, or Qlik's other product, QlikSense, to be a better option.

QlikView and QlikSense are powerful tools that require IT and BI expertise to take full advantage of. True BI utilization is not just dragging fields and creating graphs. It requires deep knowledge of data utilization and visualization. Qlik can provide that, BUT at the cost of additional IT or BI expertise.

I would suggest others to QlikView and go for Qlik Sense. Qlik Sense is a tool that is as powerful as QlikView with better visualization capabilities. I would not recommend anyone to use the older QlikView, but I would recommend anyone to move to Qlik Sense.

Take the time to understand the data, and develop solid data models. This will ensure good performance and a great user experience.

Just because QlikView can do it, doesn’t mean it should. (There is still a place for traditional BI, databases and ETL/ELT.)

Develop fit-for-purpose applications.

I'm an end-user of the product.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using at this time. 

My advice to everyone that is using QlikView that's a beginner is to check every page that it has. When I started using it, after one or two months, I found a lot of pages that were very important for the company. If I knew they were there from the beginning, I would have checked those pages instead of using only one or two things. Every page has very important info.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

It's my understanding that we're using the updated version, however, I'm not a hundred percent sure of that.

I'd advise new users to basically know the timeframes, whenever they're doing reports. There are different ways to choose the timeframe and it could be a bit confusing if you don't know how to use it. Apart from that, it's super user-friendly and you don't need much training in order to use it. Just to know your values and your timeframe.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

People who have interest on QlikView should also take a look on Qlik’s another product Qlik Sense. They have similar features (e.g. Section Access, Search function, Associative model).

QlikView relies more on the IT side. IT builds the base and a majority of end-users make use of it. Some power users can build dashboards, share with others and create formulas in there.

Qlik Sense is a self-service BI tool. It is easier to use and stronger in visualization. But some advance formulas might not be available.

I would advise you to seek out a local Qlik partner. They will be able to support your training and consulting needs and provide guidance regarding best practice for your implementation.

QlikView has some superb, unique features but the desktop edition suffers from having a rather tired user interface. Default chart settings can often result in unattractive dashboards, which require significant adjustment in order to conform to best practice. These UI shortcomings have however been addressed in Qlik Sense.

There is not a single product that can cover all personas/use cases well or there would be only one product out there commanding the world – and there’s simply not just one.

1. Check your user and business requirements first and check if QV can help you solve your user / business needs.
2. If yes, check what are the potential uses of QV and describe the environment, company or unit size, # of users, # of applications, # of KPIs, and data volume. After this first check, you may be able to determine how big would your applications be, and thus estimate current and future RAM, necessary IT Infrastructure, # of servers, etc. I would talk to IT to see how to integrate QV into your IT environment. Many people start with an isolated QV implementation in their unit, which is fast, but then you have no single point of truth (this may discourage adoption because the user does not trust the data). But it depends on your goals.
3. Start working and promote user adoption, showing good functionality, fast implementation, and reliable data. QV can then become the main BI tool in the company.
4. Looking forward, QV can be extended in the use of mash-ups, Jscript extensions and analytics with R, so that you can build up in the future. Qlik Sense is a new Qlik Tech product, which offers many new possibilities.

The only important advice is to take enough time for the concept of the future environment.

That will make it easy to implement all needed add-ons with future changes.

Follow the vendor’s suggestions for scale responsibilities (IT, developer, designer and end user).

The Qlik user forum will be always helpful to find a solution.

If possible, a site visit to other consumers of the tool often sheds a lot of light on work that can be done before implementation to overcome unnecessary problems and delays. For example, properly mapping financial processes, documenting and getting them signed off before a QlikView model is developed will save time and money in rework after the fact. Also forming a network of other users who are not related to the vendor is very valuable in getting unbiased advice.

It is quite versatile and reasonably cost effective.

QlikView is your one-stop shop for all of your BI needs, and it performs well enough. With one tool, you can take raw data from your database/files and develop the complex analytic apps, which I think is the best thing going for QlikView. It’s very flexible and has matured itself well enough to be deployed organization-wide. The learning curve is definitely higher and you might need your apps developed by IT.

It is good for organizations that don't want to invest in multiple products.

It’s important to understand that the quality of the final data will have a direct relationship to the source of information. You can really apply here the phrase "Garbage in-Garbage out". Because once QV is up and running, almost everyone will turn to the dashboards as THE source of information, it’s imperative to be sure the source of data is flawless.

It’s a great BI tool to convert raw data coming from several different sources into a dashboard full of in-depth knowledge, to do proper information analysis and make accurate decisions for the company.
