Ivan Z.

Hotmark

Cons

“Sometimes, for really specific visuals, I have to export data or use other tools, which isn't ideal. While you can build custom visuals, it's not as straightforward as I'd like, and the standard options feel a bit basic for telling richer data stories.”

James L.

Product Management

“I found it a little hard at first to create a complete report for my needs.”

Peter G.

Manager

“It can be quite fiddly to get set up with multiple data sources, and once there are issues, if they are not promptly sorted, they can compromise the accuracy report/dashboard. Once there are issues, it can often be tricky to identify the root cause”

Ross C.

PPC Account Executive

Cons

“Its visualisations needs more like the native charts..I feel that it does not match with its competitors here.”

Willem G.

commercial manager

“Qlick Sense is quite expensive compared to other tools existing in the field such as Tableau, in addition, it's not an easy tool to onboard and it can be costly when dealing with big teams using the tool.”

Liron Z.

VP of research and development

“The cost of the license is a factor to consider, and the degree of difficulty will depend on the user's experience, even for new users the learning curve can be quite steep.”
