Powerful BI tool that's now leveraging AI

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

Advanced/customisable visualisations require third party extensions to be installed which add to cost.

Advanced dashboard creation if you have the skills

Reviewed 6 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Geovanny's Qlink review

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Qlik Sense enables powerful filtering and capabilities to model comparisons. It is user friendly, helps to generate central reporting solution with governed security rules.

Cons

Syntax of expression is different from other languages makes it inconvenience. In case of large data, loading speed of app may be slow.

Excellent BI Tool

Reviewed 7 years ago

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.

Pros

It's easy to use, administer, and visualize data. Getting business users to view reports has become so much easier with this tool.

Cons

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.

Pros

Qlik sense has made it quick and easy for us to provide access and insights into data to our users.

Cons

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.

Good, but not for our use case

Reviewed 4 years ago

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.

Pros

I like the flexible licenses as well as the possibilities for a power user. The setup is fairly easy to setup as well.

Cons

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.

Decent Interactive Report Creation Tool

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

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.

True Self Service BI with a few trade offs

Reviewed 9 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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)
