If you're exploring Analytics tools, bring a real life use case with complex data and multiple sources. You'll quickly find where other products need a lot more work on the data prep side before analysis. Qlik just takes your data and you can start exploring the relationships.

Note after spending hours trying to recover from these errors on the May 2021 AMI we decided to try the August 2021 BYOL as suggested. The same issue happened again. The suggested corrections (by running various install scripts) do not work.
Thousands of the errors below are logged daily.
The description for Event ID 0 from source PostgreSQL cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
2021-11-05 12:02:30.974 UTC [12588] FATAL: password authentication failed for user "qliksenserepository"
2021-11-05 12:02:30.974 UTC [12588] DETAIL: Password does not match for user "qliksenserepository".
Connection matched pg_hba.conf line 84: "host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5"
The errors only appear when the service dispatcher is running.
It's been 2 months since I logged the issue and no response.
Qlik needs to fix this installation problem ASAP.
Greate BI Tool
What do you like best?
Easy and Clean User Interface for the User as well as Developer
What do you dislike?
Tricks for Chart UI and Limitation of Charts customization.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Data Cleaning and Dash boarding
Qlik is a panoptic, flexible intelligence platform, no ordinary business intelligence here.
What do you like best?
Difficult to choose just one thing, but I suppose I'm old-school so it would be total ETL control over data, which is stock with Qlik. It can connect to every kind of data imaginable. Its ETL is as powerful and flexible as SQL (and is very SQL-like in syntax, lowering the learning curve) plus its has powerful load script library of functions that can accomplish in two or three parameters what would take a stored procedure in SQL. Case in point, FirstSortedValue and AutoNumber, both small but mighty.
What do you dislike?
Partner support can be disappointing, which is not actually Qlik, but the only thing I dislike about using Qlik Sense. If your company buys through a partner, some are better than others, be thorough in your selection.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We (in IT) are able to free our data, from spreadsheet hell, to be found and used by our business users, who have eons of combined experience and are able to learn and use Qlik Sense to develop new content - to actually improve sales or reduce returns. "Democratized analytics" might be what that's called, and it brings me joy to see business users applying their expertise using Qlik Sense as a platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give serious consideration to the cloud options where Qlik hosts your data and maintains the platform.
A top tier Qlik support contract is very important, even more so if you host in-house. Don't confuse that support with the "Qlik Community" which is unrivaled in the industry and an excellent resource for new and experienced users.
Intuitive operation to create value from data
What do you like best?
You can connect various data with simple operations and analyze it from any angle.
What do you dislike?
Compared to QlikView, the GUI is less flexible.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
It is easy to get a broad picture of the characteristics of the data and build a strategy for analysis with a story to tell.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to interact with your data and get deeper insights, Qlik Sense is the perfect partner for you.
You can also connect to many different types of data sources, such as on-premises and cloud, and analyze them all in one place, so you can easily integrate your data without having a DWH.
Analysis operations are optimized for mobile devices, allowing users to select and navigate through data on a touch screen without discomfort.
If cost is a concern, you have the option to start using it in the cloud. You can start small, or you can stop at any time. Of course, if you like it, you can roll it out on a large scale or integrate it with on-premises.
QLIK SENSE does make sense for data analytics
What do you like best?
Ease of use, dynamic, multiple platform auto sizing.
What do you dislike?
Disconnected Nprint Product. Lot of features missing from the charts.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
To see whether products are delivered on time, whether we have supplier issue or in house issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Most important is cost of implementation, and ROI. Make sure that it can do what you need. Ask most difficult requirements which is needed in your company.
Easy and fancy
What do you like best?
Visuality and dynamic changes. Focus attention easily.
What do you dislike?
Not so easy to creating reports and dashboard as they said...
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Focus attention to the important data and top management loves to use
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don’t think twice about user friendliness and easy using, fancy dynamics reporting. Multiple filtering, using in every reports. Mobil also available but not effective like web parts.
Great product, unique in its own way
What do you like best?
Associative engine works best to provide overall insights automatically
What do you dislike?
Mobile capabilties can be improved in terms of user experience
