Constantly evolving and building on features recommended by the user base. Excellent range of out the box connectors and easy data source setup. Leveraging AI and NLP which just improves the user-friendly nature of the product.
Advanced/customisable visualisations require third party extensions to be installed which add to cost.

It's a really flexible tool and you can do a lot if you know how. I would highly recommend using a Qlik partner for the implementation as they can provide developers with the experience to set up a really powerful set of dashboards.
We had some fairly advanced requirements for business dashboards and QlikSense was able to offer the functionality to do all of them. You can connect with a very wide range of systems thanks to brilliant API support. The dashboards look really good and it can be integrated in to other systems.
It is fairly expensive and for a beginner it can be quite daunting to do anything more advanced. The server software is also fairly resource intensive so hosting it in the cloud can get quite expensive.

In built ETL functionality. If your data is not super clean forget other BI software like Tableau etc.
Would like to have more in built visualisation objects...

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.

I think is a good software to start in the OLAP world or to present KPIs to the managers
User friendly Fast response Responsive design Access everywhere Doesn´t work with all of the browsers
No expert personal support Too many partners in LATAM Some features are too basic The online posts are from people who are not part of the develop team

Some characteristics like its versatile and optimized data upload editor for uploads of own files generated from Qlik, which allows a better flow in the periodic update of the different applications. In addition to the possibility of creating and extracting custom reports from different dashboards to disseminate via Mail, having control over the government of the information at all times.
Qlik has as an opportunity for improvement the development of more types of specialized visualizations corresponding to the different needs of the areas of the companies. For example: financial visualizations, logistics, etc.

Minha experiência no geral tem sido ótima com a Qlik, tendo mais pontos positivos do que negativos na ferramenta, com um saldo positivo. O mais legal na plataforma é a sua fácil usabilidade e variedade de ferramentas, e insights para analise de grandes bases de dados. Recomendaria para outras pessoas a ferramenta.
Praticidade e Simplicidade Resposta rápidas nas analises Capacidade de detalhar os dados até o nível da linha Grande variedade de ferramentas e opções de análise Conectividade

Qlik Sense is easy to use, however, requires some training. Really helpful in sorting, consolidating and analyzing data. It is compatible with all devices like desktop, tablet, mobile, and laptop.
Qlik Sense enables powerful filtering and capabilities to model comparisons. It is user friendly, helps to generate central reporting solution with governed security rules.
Syntax of expression is different from other languages makes it inconvenience. In case of large data, loading speed of app may be slow.

The ease of preparing dashboards with Qlik is the best part along with the ease of viewing for our end users
The backend script could be changed by making into another language . There could be options for us to choose any language we prefer for scripting.

We use QlikSense to aggregate many forms of data including financial results, operational metrics, such as inventory movement and location, as well as sales and pipeline data. It is our do-it-all tool to provide actionable information to management.
The setup and implementation was intuitive and simple, while the end result is a beautifully dynamic dashboard that delivers meaningful, actionable intelligence that is customize able as circumstances change.
There really isn't a lot that I didn't like about the software. From a user experience, it is the best I've analysis tool I've used.

We've definitely seen positive results with this tool and we've been using it only for a short time, about 6 months or so. I can see how much this tool is going to help our company achieve some strategic goals.
It's easy to use, administer, and visualize data. Getting business users to view reports has become so much easier with this tool.
So far there has not been anything that we've had problems with. The support for the product is fantastic and any technical issues have been resolved with a quick phone call.

Qlik sense has made it quick and easy for us to provide access and insights into data to our users.
In our implementation, it's hard to say what all the 3rd party extensions are and can do -- takes some exploration and trial and error before being able to find useful extensions.

I believe the software is good but we already have a data warehouse and Cognos 11 installed. This software is a bit redundant for us.
I like the flexible licenses as well as the possibilities for a power user. The setup is fairly easy to setup as well.
Many third-parties, some with expensive pricing. The QMC interface could use some work. The pop-up menus are too small. Set analysis are hard for non-it users to use in a self service environment.

QlikSense is one of those applications that you always hear about when looking for great tools for interactive report generation. It is just 'good' overall, not the best, from my own personal experience at least. Comparing it to Tableau, it stands no chance.
Very weak customer service, don't expect to get much help when you are stuck, unless you are part of an online community that might help you. Overall it's just OK, but I personally would consider other applications.

Qlik has never been a company to sit on it's hands as competitors eat up it's margins. As such, Sense is an obvious response to the simplicity and aesthetic beauty that Tableau brings to the table. Drag and drop analytics make Sense an amazing tool for power users still trying to bend Excel to their needs while providing many unique and compelling ways to share the knowledge gained. In addition to simplicity, Sense is at home in a mobile environment. Build a single application and deploy to any device with a browser, be it your laptop or iPad.
The biggest shorfall of Qlik Sense is it's age. Though well thought out, the product is still underdeveloped and can at times feel like a beta product in the hands of a more seasoned BI specialist. Simplicity often comes at the expense of customization.

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)

Ability to quickly find what you are looking for using associative search capabilities. Large partner base and easier development cycle.

Ease of use. Ease to build visuals. Ease to export data. Auto sizing for multiple devices allows for dynamic builds.
