one of the very powerful BI solution to have any any kind of the organization.
Easy to use and quick intuitive dashboard builder. Seamless data connectors to any of the source system. Powerful ETL capabilities which will helps to shape the data for presentation.
Collaboration and annotation is not that great. No in built data governance options. Master data management is not available.

Qlick sense is the best data analytics tool provides a smart solution for the big data technologies.
Qlick sense provides a centralized management for the big data organizations. Smart search is the most usable feature available in the Qlick Sense. The app is pretty responsive which can work on any resolution.
Sometimes Qlick sense performance is not up to mark while working on the enormous data. It also does not provides automatic reporting feature.

Qlik Sense has significantly improved my ability to visualize data with greater efficiency. By merging all of our data sources and creating a real-time data pipeline, Qlik Sense provides us with access to in-the-moment data intelligence, which has fostered an insight-driven decision-making culture throughout my organization.
Qlik sense ability to bring artificial intelligence to my data visualization experience is what I like best about it. By incorporating artificial intelligence into my data visualization process , Qlik Sense has significantly enhanced my data visualization and reporting capabilities. This integration has resulted in a reduction of cognitive biases in my analyses and visualizations, while also streamlining the discovery of data intelligence and automating the relationship between natural language interactions and search queries.
I often find that uploading large datasets can be a slow process and rarely meets my expectation of a speedy upload.

you can choos a lot of data source and you can of course merge between that, I'ts cool the drag and drop function to easily import your csv or excel data and make faster analysis on that. you can also duplicate and apply scripts on your data in the data load editor.
-you can search between every data in your app, and it's really fast. -dashboards are cool, and it's fantastic the integration between filters and click on dashboards. cool also the "lazo" filter function
full screen function is available only on destkop sense, not when you navigate an app deployed on your sense server (by browser)

Easy implementation of data clouds and BI analysis, increase the speed of data processing thanks to the extraction logic in the QVD
it is continuously updated with interesting new features, it's user friendly, it is a program that takes into consideration the design and the new trends, it is nice to see and the animations on the graphics make it even more innovative
tokens are too expensive for a medium-sized company, the QMC is still a bit complicated to use. Updating qlik sense server is a bit tricky, (especially moving from Synchronized Persistence to Shared Persistence)

Overall, Qlik Sense is an incredibly powerful and user-friendly data analysis tool that makes it easy to quickly understand and analyze your data. Despite some of its more complex features, it is still relatively easy to use and can provide valuable insights from your data.
Qlik Sense is an incredibly powerful and user-friendly data analysis tool that makes it easy to get insights from your data. The drag-and-drop nature of creating visualizations makes it simple to quickly understand and analyze your data, and the data integration capabilities allow for easy integration with other data sources.
While Qlik Sense is a powerful tool, it can be difficult to learn due to its complex features and user interface. Additionally, there are some features which can be difficult to use, such as the scripting language and data modeling capabilities.

Qliksense has a wide range of features that include interactive data visualisation, advanced analytics, data integration etc. I find it quite versatile in terms of capability in connecting to various data sources such as cloud based, big data etc.
There could be performance issues at times depending on the size and complexity of the data being used. Also, it requires a bit of training for someone new to this tool to get used to and explore the features.

As long time QlikView users, it made sense to try the new cloud based QlikSense product offering. We have been highly impressed with it's scalability, flexibility, and ease of use from and end user perspective.
Easy for our end users to quickly analyze what matters to them.
Data set-up needs to be organized in advance.

Connecting to data sources is simple and manipulating the data into a usable, non-bulky data model is simple using the Data Manager feature. Creating visualization is a breeze. There is plenty of assistance in the Qlik forums for anything you need help with.
As it is meant to be an easy-to-use design tool, there is little room for personalization and customization as these would be considered more advanced features. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to manipulate the objects as you can do in QlikView.

The use case for Qlik sense in our project was to sync up customer and customer booking related data for a travel domain website to identify the user traffic and the favorite destinations and hot spots for booking so we can advertise specific products on our website.
Qlik sense is one of the top tools for data visualization and analysis. The ability to integrate data from different sources to provide rich options of graphing the data and drill down analysis of tables. It provides easy customization and easy reporting for the data.
The no Linux supports causes compatibility problems some times. Qlik sense is not the best solution one would use for a real-time dashboard. It may require outside assistance for advanced usage.

Qlik Sense is fully customizable and can be tailored to meet any unique business needs, It gives you the ability to see data that usually takes hours to run in the blind of an eye.
The initial loading of the data can take a while sometime depending on how there is on the backend. or the system that its pulling the data from.

Qlik Sense is a fantastic tool that helps an organization begin to talk about its data and even do advanced analytics. Since data is all over in most businesses, Qlik allows a central view of the data that everyone can use to drive engagements and discussion.
Cutting-edge advanced analytics integrations, focus on community and ease of use which helps adoption of the product
Extension support leaves a lot to be desired, however, native functionality is increasing every new release.

Fantastic BI Analytical Software that will help you knit your data together and discover new opportunities within your data for marketing and sales. As far as advice goes - do not underestimate how long it will take to design the interface itself once you've got all the data together.
Quick to process large data sets Easy to merge differing data sets to a single view intuitive tools to drive development Great active online forum/blogs to help the less naturally gifted It is fun to use and discover your data with
Initial steep learning curve to get up to speed Set Analysis is not easy to pick up - misplace a bracket at your peril

It's being used across the whole organization, and it helps change data from multiple sources to information for better decision making. This has also given us better access to transnational level data. Which has improved our scope and insights as well as improved our decision making.
Qlik Sense is very well suited for companies without a proper data warehouse. - It is fairing very well in sales analysis and KPI management. - Mini QVDs can act like a mini data warehouse. - It builds mini data warehouses. - It's good for the merging of data. - It connects well with other systems.
Qlik Sense is good for simple analytics. However, it is not that easy to set up "what if" scenarios, more advanced statistical analysis, and custom stuff. - The coding of equations is quite complicated. - Better customer service from sales. - Better customer service help with solving problems with the tool and upgrades. - Better user-friendliness for writing equations by the end-user.

Overall it's a good software and highly recommended.
It has many features to customize our plot well. It also makes loading data very easy, download/export data. Also it has easy features to view the data model and change it as per requirement.
It is little complicated to use compared to other data visualization tools. Also writing set analysis is tough.

A great tool that helps us make sense of our data day to day.
It is a great data tool with a modern UX and strong functionality - both for the user and the data back end. Lots of flexibility to build and connect data, and powerful tools for visualization & BI.
No major concerns. There is very deep functionality, so any issues are likely our own.

Amazing tool for analytics
It allows connecting to various data sources, data modeling, data integration is kind of easy to work with Qlik Speed of data loading is relatively fast - powerful engine Gives you the flexibility to view the report through mobile app Features like interactive visuals and the dragging selection between charts is something amazing
Don't support third party visualizations Selection of charts depending on variables you have can sometimes be tricky (I would like to see a way that Qlik can show the charts available for your data based on data types)

Great tool that allow you to slice and dice your data at super fast speed. It can parse huge amount of data and have it readily available for your analysis. Another super cool thing about the tool is ability to connect to so many different data sources
The expansion of the system is a pain, since it parse all the data onto RAM, you need to increase your server/machine capability tremendously to be able to process more data

The first thing you'll notice with Qlik is how easy and quick it is to load some data and get insights. That's down to 3 aspects of the tool. The first is the data manager which allows you to drag and drop data to extract and transform data. The second is augmented intelligence (the cognitive engine) which can build a data model for you if you wish, or simply make recommendations on how to set up...
There is a steeper learning curve than some other tools if you want to use the script editor to write code. This is worth doing though as it gives you greater control over your data. The legends on the map objects do not always correctly describe the maps.

Overall, because I was looking to save money on a reporting software and only had Google platforms I need to report on, this made the most sense. If you need other social or video reporting added to a combined reporting platform, it may make more sense to pay for another reporting tool rather than pay to have that data added to Google Data Studio.
The best thing about Google Data Studio is that it is free. If all you need to do is combine and visual data from various Google platforms and products (i.e., Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, etc.), then Google Data Studio is an excellent choice. All these products can connect for free to Google Data Studio, so you don't have to pay per connector or per result.
Google Data Studio definitely isn't the prettiest or easiest reporting platform to use. At times it can feel clunky and very intense to set up. This isn't an easy plug-and-play platform for reporting. So while it is free, you will definitely have to spend some time setting up and connecting everything you want to use. You can save some time by looking for templates that others have created that you should be able to duplicate and set up.

Frustrating at first. But after I took a CE course, wonderful!
This software can spit out just about any piece of analytical data you want, in just about any format, and you can really customize the reports to work for you and your company.
There is a STEP learning curve with this product. I would highly recommend taking a course online on how to use it as some parts just don't make sense.
