QlikSense is such a powerful analytics tool
I've been using Qlik in general for over 8 years now. While Qlik Sense initially had it's growing pains it has become a tool that you can do almost anything with. The out of the box visuals are great and can complete with any tool but if you need more, the extensions that you can build or buy are almost limitless.
I use it for cleansing and housing the data needed by everyone else as the ETL capabilities are very powerful. I've been able to do things in Qlik that I couldn't do in SQL which is saying a lot.
It can also fit any level of person using a BI tool from the beginner with basic data to the advanced with challenging data and visualizations.

Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is a very powerful BI tool that enabled us to do targeted marketing by analyzing customer buying behavior and by plotting sales per region on the built in maps in Qlik Sense
What do I think about Qlik Sense and its associative model?
I use Qlik Sense to build applications for users to support their daily operations, to power business and strategy development, and to explore their datasets with, and share visualizations to accompany their analyses.
What I like:
1. It is easy to combine different datasets, to prepare data models to begin exploring the data.
2. The tools provided make it simple to quickly build and deploy effective and engaging dashboards. Selections made on visualizations propagate to the rest of the visualizations throughout the application, without having to write code to connect them. As the associative model stores relationships between all data points in all the tables used in a model, selections result in colors being applied to data values across data fields. These highlight values that are related, and values that are unrelated, to current selected values, to prompt further exploration. A video that illustrates this well is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-m0_8dT3XM .
3. More hands on users can follow their train of thought and pull together adhoc analyses using curated dimensions, measures and visualizations. The Insight feature offers sample visualizations based on the dataset and selections.
4. The associative engine helps one discover information, and questions, that maybe hidden while querying data using a traditional tool. Here is an example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuxKfp7PW1o
Something to keep in mind for Qlik application developers is that when coming from a lifetime of working in a relational world, one needs to reorient their approach, to grasp the associative model and the unique strengths it provides. It is worthwhile to spend a little time and effort to get familiar with using associative relationships and set analysis. Qlik has spared no effort in providing plenty of free training materials, in addition to their official classes, to help with both data literacy aspects, as well as technical knowhow with sample exercises and applications. The user community and customer stories are insightful in discovering solutions and creative applications of the tool.
In the end, one needs to try it for themselves, and for this, Qlik offers trials of its hosted environment to experiment in, along with access to its library of samples and how to training materials.
Top-notch Analytics Tool
Qlik is a top-notch analytics tool. Our company has saved a tremendous amount of time while developing and deploying analytical applications.
Qlik's ability to access various databases means we can spend less time doing ETL and more time creating solutions for our users.
Qlik Sense can do it all
I have been using Qlik Sense Enterprise for about a year now. Coming in with very little coding and data experience, Qlik has allowed me the opportunity to feel accomplished in setting up dashboards and quality applications, with excellent self-training and class-training along the way. The online community is a thriving group of helpful professionals who have almost always encountered and fixed the problem I am experiencing.
The product itself has been able to do just about anything our users have requested in terms of apps and dashboards. We haven't found anything to disappoint us yet!
