Review Source Derek Isaac B. Marketing Data Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Business Intelligence software" April 22, 2021 5.0 It provides beautiful, eye-catching dashboards with astounding functionality on navigation. It enables you to provide info the user needs and to personalize information depending on their requirements. The customer support is very good and responsive. A given report can be utilized as a base to make another report so it saves your time to convey necessary info in minimal time with top outcomes. It can handle datasets of larger size in comparison to other tools like power business intelligence and Tableau. It has made it easier to transform info tables into a graph, filter, pivot, etc. Pros It helps enterprises all over the world work smarter, move faster, and place advanced analytics in the hands of everyone. It merges, visualize, explore, and load data easily no matter how small or large the data is. It makes and shares interactive dashboards in a manageable environment. It empowers everyone in the organization to make better decisions. It supports a broad variety of analytic use cases including self-service visualizations, guided dashboards, mobile analytics, reporting, and many more. Cons When it is not configured appropriately, it provides false data that is difficult to spot. It lacks the analysis side. It is best suited for simple analytics but it is hard to set up custom stuff, what-if scenarios, and advanced statistical analysis. The equations coding is a bit complex. It does not allow the production of pdf files and standardized reporting. The navigation handling is very tough. Review Source TB Timo B.

Was vorher in zig Excel-Auswertungen mühsam zusammengetragen werden musste, befindet sich jetzt gebündelt in einem Tool.Die Konnektivität mit den verschiedensten Datenbankmodellen ist hervorragend.Die Auswertemöglichkeiten sind vielfälltig.Das wahrscheinlich beste an dieser Software ist aber die riesige Community - bei einem Problem erhält man binnen weniger Stunden eine Antwort. Cons Das einzige negative ist die unterschiedlichen Funktionalitäten zwischen der SaaS-Lösung und der On-Premise-Lösung.Hier wird man als On-Premise-Kunde mit weniger Funktionen benachteiligt, so dass man auf kurz oder lang gezwungen ist, in die Cloud zu wechseln.

Auxiliar de Reporting Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Qliksense for business" November 30, 2018 5.0 Thanks to Qliksense we are able to provide easily the information the user wants and to personalise it depending on their needs. Sometimes a given report can be used as base to create another which saves you time to deliver critical information in the least amount of time with the best results. Pros What I like most about Qliksense is the ease in which you can portray the information, also the duplicate function helps you to customise your sheet until you like it over and over again. Also it's really easy to convert an information table into a pivot, graph (any kind), filter, etc. Also the export feature as well as the filter can help you greatly to get just the information you want in the format you want. Cons Sadly when you work with a lot of information lines or put to much formulas into a report it will limit how you can export it (you have to filter by parts to get the full report) or it will not show the information and you will have to filter the overall report to just visualise the information you need.

Report Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Qlik Sense Review: A Comprehensive Overview" February 28, 2023 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Switched from [Docebo](https://www.capterra.com/p/127213/Docebo/) Qlik Sense stands out from its alternatives due to its drag-and-drop visualizations, data integration capabilities, and powerful data modeling and scripting capabilities. In addition, the user interface is clean and intuitive, which makes it easy to use for both experienced and novice users. Review Source BS Balaji S.

This is something we use daily. Pros The tool is good for developers. They allow is customize the code to a great extent, when compared to other visualization dashboards.

Freelancer Information Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solid application with a good balance between features, performance and usability." September 12, 2017 5.0 An easy and intuitive way to create storyboards for everyone to understand, parting from relative large and difficult to understand and analyze data. The main benefit was a simple way to create quick charts which served as main discussion point with co-workers to make better decisions. So basically a great way to display business information. Pros First its usability and design. Regarding the User Interface: the application is well designed and I felt like every button and function was where I would expect it to be. The program is responsive and fluid, you always know where you are and what you should do. Having said that, there is some learning curve to the many features, which are a good thing. The program is easy enough to create a histogram with a simple spreadsheet while also allowing for much more complicated statistics and good looking charts, e.g. plotting geo-data, heat-maps, box-plots and so on. I specially like the ability to write your own aggregation functions and even more the dashboard where you can put different charts and statstics and build an interactive and dynamic kind of storyboard. The interaction works seamless. If you select (in a bar chart) a specific bar or group of bars, the other charts will automatically adjust to show just the relevant/selected data. The program does not hesitate and performs really well, even with large quantities of data. Support is also pretty solid and there is a lot of information and questions already answered on the online forums. It supports many of the standard data sources. Cons The aforementioned ability to write your own functions has a somewhat steep learning curve. You do have to search online for the primary functions you need (though these are well documented). Unfortunately if your data has to much variables or data points, the charts prioritize the specific variable instead of the whole diagram. What I mean by that is that you can end up with a very large horizontal chart in which you have to scroll horizontally to find the other data instead of 'cramming' all variables into the visible space. This depends on taste, but I did not find any way to change that, which brings me to the next point. The charts are somewhat 'customizable' regarding color and design. However, I've used comparable software which allows for much more flexibility in the structure and formatting of charts. A few times it can get frustrating to use the program, mainly for two reasons. 1. The aforementioned displaying of information in a non-customizable way and 2. the lack of knowledge of how the program really works that hinders you from doing exactly what you want. But of these aspects become less of a problem, the more you use the program. Review Source MY Mete Y.

Pros Gute Performance. Gute grafische Darstellungen. Report-Builder ermöglicht viele Auswahlmöglichkeiten zur Datenanalyse an. Cons Zu viel Customizing notwendigt.

The load scripts, data model viewer and the available visualizations have enabled us to create dashboards at a fast pace for demos and proof-of-concept apps. Pros Qlik Sense is a self-service visualization tool which users can learn to use within a short span of time. Adding the data sources is a smooth experience. Select the columns that's required, drag and drop into a new dashboard and we have a dashboard ready in minutes. The data model component helps to create associations/joins between the columns/fields of a table/file. The associative data model of Qlik Sense keeps the data associated across visualizations in a dashboard. Change a parameter and the whole dashboard gets reflected immediately. Qlik Sense also supports 3rd party extensions for visualizations and they are regularly monitored and approved by Qlik. Qlik Sense load scripts can be overridden to include custom code. Cons 1) Cyclic Groups feature is missing. It was present in QlikView. We have to depend on qsVariable which is a 3rd party extension. 2) Trellis Chart is missing. Review Source DC Diogo C. IT Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Qlik Sense: Empowering Data-driven Insights" May 15, 2023 4.0 Pros Qlik Sense is a powerful data analytics and visualization tool that empowers users to gain valuable insights from their data. One of the standout features of Qlik Sense is its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, which allows users to create interactive and dynamic visualizations without the need for complex coding or scripting. This feature enables users to quickly build and modify visualizations, making it a highly flexible and efficient tool. Cons However, one aspect where it falls short is its user-friendliness. The tool can be challenging for new users to navigate and requires a significant learning curve.

Per un responsabile acquisti è fondamentale avere sotto controllo i dati di acquisto delle singole materie prime e degli imballaggi dell'azienda.Qlik Sense permette attraverso dei dashboard che hanno una buona filosofia piramidale di tenere sotto controllo i principali numeri dell'azienda in genere e filtrare per i dati di tuo interesse.

Broker Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good analytics tool" February 3, 2022 4.0 I like the system overall; it let's me look at my historical sales as well as my current sales and open orders. Pros Once you get use to the different widgets, it is a good system to use. If you have accessibility to all of the functions, it can make your day easier when looking for sales data. Cons It won't save any of your preference. It logs you out kindy quickly, it's not a system you can leave open the entire work day, you have to constantly log in if you step away for a few minutes. Review Source AT Austin T. Instrumentation Team Leader Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Central Location for Evaluation of Performance Metrics" June 23, 2022 5.0 Pros Data is very clear and clean and easily accessible. The ability to customize the dash board and pull various reports from virtually any time period is clutch. You are able to easily see how the business is performing compared to the target performance indicators. Cons There is a lot of manual entry that needs to occur in order for the data to be properly displayed. Often times when checking metrics for 1 day, there will be more hours recorded than actual hours within the day (i.e. 24 hours in the day, but 30 hours have been input). Not too much of an issue if you have 1 person dedicated to maintaining the system -- but if several people are inputting data, this can become a head ache. Review Source KG Kawa G.

The platform offers a distinctive approach to associative data exploration, which equips the users with the ability to ask further questions and go deeper into their data. Cons Adding capabilities such as making full custom visualizations or integrating outside libraries could be enhanced to fulfill specific storytelling requirements. Review Source Rahul P.

Sr Pricing Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I like it but I prefer Power BI for some reasons" May 10, 2021 4.0 The way I present information instead of using pivot tables or dashboards in Excel, I rather prefer to use Qlik or Power BI, this can help to tell stories over the information you have to present, it helps to go deeper and to follow a logical sequence. Pros More visualization options would be great, like divisions between graphs or tables, predefined layouts to fit tables and graphs that are visually nice would be a big game-changer. Qlik desktop is very difficult to find how to use it, I rather use Qlik sense online since I haven't been able to use it on my personal computer, in my job computer is ok and easy but not in the personal one, with a non company email. Cons Qlik view is a powerful tool that helps share the dashboards easier and people don't need to install any program or app. The online Qlik Sense app is very useful since you don't have to install a desktop program and can be used on any computer. Is easy to use and if you know how to use Excel, you can figure out how to use Qlik by yourself or with a 30 min tutorial. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/) Reason for choosing Qlik Sense I use both, I like better Power BI because is, in my opinion, more beautiful, but Qlik can be used without installing programs which is really helpful.

Customer Success Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The fastest platform for data analytics" February 25, 2021 5.0 Previously I used Qlikview, but when migrating to Qliksense we could see a very positive change in our reports. In particular, I use it for the analysis of the evolution of adoption based on the use of licensing and features that each client uses from the solutions we sell. For this, we use various APIs to integrate the platform with others where we extract the information to associate it and thus obtain the necessary reports and graphics. Pros The best thing about Qliksense is the speed with which it can analyze and associate large volumes of data. With this platform, we can have all kinds of analysis in a very short time, saving us many hours of work. We can even automate weekly reports linking the databases with the information source. Cons Honestly, I don't see any cons to this platform. It is very robust, secure, simple to use and configure. Review Source MT Meliksah T.

All the IT has to do is create table and dashboard structure then the business unit can create its own reports and graphs according to its liking. Pros \- It's scalable. Many business units in various locations in our company use it to report their big data. - It's live and autonomous. Once it's deployed, it automatically creates up to date reports, so that nobody has to re-create new reports every time. - It's online. Created dashboards can be viewed in any deviced, anytime as long as there's internet. - It's easy to use for users to create their own graphics and reports. Not much effort for the IT team. Cons There's nothing to dislike in terms of functionality, UI and efficiency. Only thing I can criticize is that the name is confusing for some people in business unit. It is obviously chosen intentionally but they keep confusing Qlik with Click. Review Source SV Sebastian V. Head of Finance & Controlling Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Erfinder des BI Tools" December 12, 2022 5.0 Pros Ich habe jahrelang mit QlikView gearbeitet, dass leider nicht mehr weiter entwickelt wird und bin daher auf Qlik Sense umgestiegen. QlikSense ist deutlich moderner und bietet vielfältige Funktionen, wobei das Niveau von QlikView, was die Möglichkeiten angeht, meines Erachtens noch nicht erreicht ist. Dennoch ein gutes BI Tool, speziell wenn man auch noch den ETL Prozess anhand der Skrip-Sprache gezielt gestalten will. Cons Die Bedienung anhand des "normalen" Menüs und des "erweiterten Menüs" empfinde ich als teilweise etwas unübersichtlich. Es sollte noch mehr Einstellmöglichkeiten bei den Objekten geben, z.B. bei einem Bubble Diagramm würde ich die Blase gerne in Abhängigkeit nach der Dimension und zusätzlich auch nach dessen Wert einfärben. Reason for choosing Qlik Sense Weil ich die Skript-Sprache schon von QlikView kannte.
