Senior Data Analyst Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly flexible and powerful analytics tool" December 5, 2018 5.0 Pros 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 relationships in our data. The last is AI in the front end of the product which generates insight at the click of a button; suggesting charts and alternative ways of presenting your data. Within seconds you can load some data, build a model and present some insight. When you want to go further you've got the data load editor which allows you to write an ETL script and take advantage of compressed storage in the form of QVDs. In the front end, end users can see the whole story in their data because Qlik never leaves data behind, unlike linear ETL tools like SQL. End users can navigate data intuitively using green, white and grey colour coding. Qlik Sense makes makes data intuitive and available to everyone. Cons 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.

Data Analytics Technician Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product over the years" July 9, 2020 4.0 It's has been good but i am worried that competitors like Power BI that are pushing very strong in the market. I be seen many clients switching to Power BI. Pros \-It's Simple for new users and allows self discovery. -It very fast and code is easy to learn. -There is a lot of material to learn and a good community. -Allows you to build your own datawarehouse using Qvds. Cons \-You need to pay extra for features like Automated Report Generation (NPrinting) and also if you use SAP you need to pay for a special connector. -You rely on external extension to build nice dashboards but they are improving in this area every month. -It's expensive compared with others solutions.

Business Analyst for Data Analytics Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Stylish Dashboarding Solution" September 14, 2018 5.0 Pros I like the most on this software is the reason why it is build, to provide eye candy dashboard solution. A beautiful and stylish dashboard with amazing functionality on dashboard navigation. Drilling down of data can be done with ease. Creation custom formula is very flexible. Sorting on what field you like is also possible. Cons I like the least on this software is price and the exporting of dashboard into image or pdf is not that nice. Review Source CE Chris E. Manager of BI & Analytics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool, good value!" February 12, 2019 5.0 Great company, great people, wonderful user community. I highly recommend this tool over others in its space. It's more of a European take on business analytics, than an American, so a bit less flashy in the graphics but loads of more feature-rich functions and abilities. Pros Very well architected in the back end, with loads of security and functionality to leverage. Easy to use from a self-discovery standpoint for even the most basic data lover. Covers our 80/20 rule of 80% self-serve and 20% access to raw data for advanced analytics. Cons Get's a bit clumsy top administer when your user base grows, unless you staff the tool with a decent administrator. Set your expectations early with the business on these needs, or you will struggle maintaining the tool while fighting for additional resources. A bit pricy at entry level, but more than pays for itself with big revenue gains. Review Source JA Jonathan A. Analista de Contas Publicas Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A new experience with Qlik Sense" February 5, 2021 4.0 Through Qlik I got a much more precise and realistic vision. So I can act exactly where there are problems. Pros With Qlik Sense I can analyze several different databases. These databases can be of the most diverse type. Even programmed data mining is possible. The georeferencing is integrated and functions very well. I was able to do several crossings without any course or study. The program is very intuitive. However, it is possible to discover many new features by taking specific courses for QLik Sense. A new experience with Qlik Sense Cons I found difficulty with the sellers of the product, which were invasive and sometimes inconvenient. Besides the product being more expensive than the competitors Reason for choosing Qlik Sense As I said before. I did not have the option to choose. It was a superior decision. However, it has given many positive results Switched from [Tableau](https://www.capterra.com/p/208764/Tableau/)[Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/) The choice of the product was not mine but my employer's, however, it has been a grateful experience working with this product Review Source BO Barasa O. Research and development analyst Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A dynamic platform for data analysis and data visualisations" April 2, 2024 5.0 Pros I like its advanced data exploration capabilities whereby we can easily extract the data that we need through the smart search function. Cons Working with complex data visualisations can affect the overall performance but we have noticed improvements on this.

Data Consultant Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A work in progress, though it will get you there!" July 31, 2018 4.0 Though it really has its place in the market for simpler deployments, do take care when planning bigger or complex deployments as the servicability of such a deployment is difficult and tricky (but doable). Pros \-Qlik code is easy, Qlikview-code is easy reusable -InMemory works! -Lots of help online -In the end it will get you allmost there... Cons \-Visualisation not on par with 'the other big-ones'. No proper customisation, and a lot of basic visualisations are not available (Band chart, Radar chart, Combi-plot). -No analitics/statistiscs toolkit. -Presenting data/apps takes forever in a citrix-environment. -Developing a set of dashboards/apps in Sense feels clumsy and messy. There is no hierarchy, keeping track of sequential apps.(Extract/Translate/Presentation) is quite a thing. Think debugging... -No check-in/check-out tooling, no folderstructures for unpublished apps but a cluttered personal workspace so a lot of discipline and creative thinking is needed. -Building a corporate environment in Sense feels actually quite 'dirty'. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Business Analyst and Special Projects Lead Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Access to insightful data with limited budget" July 23, 2018 4.0 Pros Set up is very approachable, we partnered with a third party implementation company to do the go-live. Interface is straight forward, no complex data cubes when customizing individual elements. The filtering is very simple and we really enjoy interfacing with clicking on different elements to work your way through the page. Cons The actual usefulness of graphs was less impactfull in reality than we thought. Users mainly use simple line graphs, mainly pivot table functionality. System is slow at times, but that may be related to our cloud set up.

IT Lead Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rapid development and strong supportive community" June 29, 2017 4.0 From my experience, most of the though/completed how-to's I solved with the help of the community. Hence I strongly recommended, in any tool that you are checking validate how large and cooperative is the community. Pros \- Rapid development and strong supportive community. - You can build a very nice dashboard and/or reports very fast. Simple reports can be built in matter of minutes! even if your data is scattered between different files or even different platforms (excels, DB, etc.). - You can extend the basic (out of the box) platform with Widgets and Extensions - 'QIik Branch' - open source community sharing Widgets and Extensions that you can embed into your installation. Cons \- Running in memory DB is fine on the server but on the desktop edition might be a problem for large DB. - While "Associative Model" is what give Qlik the ease of rapid building dashboards and reports it might cause some odd results if you are not truly understand this and pay attention while building the data model. - While there is great training for how to use the basic features, there are not a lot for how to build Widgets and extensions.

Head of Customer Success Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Qlik a wonderful BI and data visualization tool" May 17, 2019 5.0 Really great, I have used it successfully in F100 engagements as well as with SMB customers to great effect. Pros Qlik out of the box is a wonderful BI tool that can be easily deployed to both SMB and enterprise. From the standpoint of customer success or consulting, its a great tool to translate highly complex data and financials into data visuals for senior management. Cons The learning curve can be a bit steep for non-data analysts and non-technical folks. I have however build non-technical training curriculum for Qlik successfully, so the barrier is not to bad, just be aware that deploying it out to business users without proper training material may lead to frustration.
