### "Excellent BI Tool"

May 1, 2017

5.0

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.

### "Good tool to visualise data"

December 9, 2019

4.0

With Qlik Sense we are removing the need to compile, review and create visual represwntations of datasets. This is a massive reduction of time spent by our teams.

Pros

The ability to customise data sets and visuals to process large amounts of data in a way that users can quickly pull up results, trends and overall reporting stats visually.

Cons

Not fully supported by all internet browsers. Sometimes it doesn't load fully or filters don't apply properly, and not easy to fix for our internal technical team.

### "Good for Building Automated Reports"

December 14, 2020

3.0

Qlik Sense was very good for introducing performance reporting across a large workforce, with varying degrees of responsibilities & therefore access levels. Good for having automated reporting and moving away from complex report builds & production.

Pros

Integration with business processes was good, and deployment was relatively easy. Ability to produce some nice looking reports for the workforce to help manage performance.

Cons

Expressions and the expression builder are not the best for creating more complex calculations and metrics

Reason for choosing Qlik Sense

Wider Business decision

### "Incredible versatility and analysis power wrapped into one"

April 26, 2022

5.0

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Switched from

[Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/)

More options at a lower price point that the combination of QlikView and Power BI we were using.

### "True Self Service BI with a few trade offs"

January 12, 2016

3.5

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.

May 14, 2017

4.0

Pros

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

### "Great Help in a World Full of Numbers"

May 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

Its highly interactive and customizable visualizations bring life to my data. Qlik Sense's ability to handle diverse data sources is a game-changer in my analytics workflow.

Cons

Despite its power, the learning curve can be steep, particularly for non-technical users. While it connects well with various data sources, some connections might require additional effort with ODBC drivers.

### "Powerful data tool"

May 18, 2021

4.0

Qlik Sense has allowed us insight into performance metrics that we would have never thought possible to uncover.

Pros

Data can be manipulated and understood very easily. Incredibly useful tool to help 'tell stories' who stakeholders from complex datasets.

Cons

Script loading can be a nightmare if built in a sub-optimal way. I've had experiences of sheets and dashboards taking up to an hour to load - if they load at all.

5.0

Pros

Flexibility in bringing data in, customizing chart colors/themes, easy click-to-navigate features, and breadth of chart types. ONLINE COMMUNITY IS FANTASTIC.

Cons

Lack of documentation on custom extension (less a Qlik thing and more of a specific developer thing), and not a totally customizable chart group (in terms of colors, themes, etc)

### "New to QlikSense"

May 5, 2017

5.0

I see there's a lot of potential and I'm sure the product will get much better with future versions

Pros

Being able to associate field instead of doing joins is a huge advantage to this product. It also handles large amounts of data very well

Cons

It's billed as a drag and drop product but you need to be pretty good at scripting to do some basic things

### "Qlik Sense is very easy"

March 11, 2018

4.0

I love the way it looks. It is such a great reporting tool

Pros

The best part of this application is Ease of navigation, responsive UI. USING Qlik is a very pleasant experience as long as you don't try to cram too much into each analytic sheet.

Cons

There are still limitations with some of the mapping (i.e. no way to show 'flow' maps between an origin and destination), but overall the software provides ample capacity for most graphical/visual needs.
