Robust browser-based BI development

  • April 06, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Browser-based for ease of deployment; broad selection of visualizations; powerful scripting language for data loads; huge selection of data connectors; powerful Set Analysis functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Security rules can be cumbersome as they require scripting. There is a wizard that will let you set up some basic rules, but once you get into and/or/if scenarios, the rules need to be manually edited and the syntax takes some getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've deployed applications in a wide variety of areas, from Sales to Farming Production, to our Cooler. Every area has realized some type of process improvement as a result of being able to easily see issues via the visualizations available in Qlik Sense.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the technical resources available via your Sales rep. You do not necessarily need to call tech support for product usage information. Call your sales rep first and see if they can get one of the technical experts in their location to help you with product knowledge.

Qlik does a really good job at making teh development of data visualizations both easy and intuitive.

The cost along with the licensing model can be a bit much.

We have been able to apply Qlik to use cases across the organization such as Finance, Clinical, OPerations, Marketing, and more
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure you are ready to invest in your people. Qlik's power is directly related to the abilities of your developers. Also, as soon as you have experienced Qlik users, be prepared to fight to keep them.

Data Analytics for the Masses

  • March 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The QIX engine, the associative model and the ease of use and small learning curve even for advanced or very advanced topics. Getting started with Qlik Sense is very easy, use Desktop or experience the Qlik Cloud, drop your files or create your connections and you are done! Dashboarding? Covered, high quality PDF reports? Got them. Scalable, robust solution to handle complex formulas and millions of rows? Granted!
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of Governance. Security rules wizard, the freedom provided to developers via APIs, to be provided to system administrators and platform admins. Bring back the Qlik Deployment Console! It looks like Qlik Sense is on,y focused on developers. Developers don’t always know which data is meaningful or even how to showcase the date to allow business analysts to get the most out of it. Platform administrators are still heavily required for on premise deployments (and hybrid solutions).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any problem that requires a decision. Making decisions based on data and not by chance or feelings, or using that data to back up your own knowledge is always proven to work. It does not have to be a massive project, it can be a laser focused application for a very specific, actual need, such is the flexibility of Qlik.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Qlik Sense it not QlikView. Even your most experienced QlikView developers can struggle getting accustomed to both or transitioning if that’s the decision. Web developers can do well if they are properly and closely guided by data architects as they can build awesome standalone solutions or fully integrated in whatever web portal you are already using to communicate or share your data and insights.

Script and expressions syntax, variables and even some charts can be reused but be ready to shift to a web developer mindset to fully unleash the potential of Qlik Sense.

The administration is more complex, yet more complete. It allows plenty of integrations with web based and well known security mechanisms such SAML, Okta, cookies or headers. The security roles are extremely granular, but you need to learn how to use them. You need some knowledge on proxies and multi layered deployments which where nit oossible in Qlik.

Make sure Qlik Sense fit your needs. Ask Qlik to engage and do something with your own data, and show how it is done. Engage with their experts to explore the most convenient and performant deployment.

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The speed that the data loads at is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a lot of documentation for Qlik Sense right now, so it is hard to figure out how to utilize it to its full potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualizing data for executives to look at.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try with their trial.

More coding than I thought

  • February 06, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the way it looks. It is such a great reporting tool. It has a lot of tools that many higher level officers or anyone that is more visually oriented, might like to see. The sales representatives are very helpful and willing to help you. They also have a lot of samples that you can look and get ideas from.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't realize that it is a lot of coding. There are certain things that I want to do and I have an image in my head, but I can't get it to work. It seems like the more data you have in your Excel, the more difficult it is to create a report with. As of now, I can only do basic things. I don't like that I can't show my project to someone else in my office (you can do this with the Cloud version, but our company doesn't allow it due to security reasons).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to use Qlik to create a more visually pleasant reporting tool that will help us with analysis. We produce a lot of reports but not that many with forecasting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I believe that they should create more videos on how to use their tools. They have videos that introduces a lot of business related topics, but not the products itself.

A lot of promise, falls short in many areas

  • February 01, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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. It's intentionally designed to look a bit spartan and the colors are muted. This may be a plus or negative depending on your point of view.
What do you dislike about the product?
Qlik tried too hard to be cool. Having a quasi browser-based experience, responsive UI is all wonderful, but the experience is really restrictive as you can't vary the information density of each sheet much, or customize the look and feel. Also, once you get quite a few sheets, the associative experience actually gets annoying as I'm constantly having to select and deselect items as I move from sheet to sheet. Would like to have more control over what selections are carried across sheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provide a way to analyze our CRM data that is silky smooth and intuitive for front line managers. We have not succeeded well here because getting people to wrap their minds around the associative nature of Qlik is difficult, and also makes it difficult to say, compare region A with region B on the same sheet without a lot of backend work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Power BI is advancing by leaps and bounds every month. The list of improvements is impressive. Qlik updates at a much slower pace and doesn't always reflect what's important to the customer.

Bye bye excel, hello custom dashboards!

  • January 31, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Qlik Sense allows me to self-serve my marketing and sales analytics requests rather than storing our data in a HUGE and clunky spreadsheet. I can create my own data visualization and charts and export them straight to a slide.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the application times out. Sometimes it's hard to find the numbers I'm looking for - I know they're in there somewhere!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Qlik Sense allows us to self-serve analytics requests and have data at our fingertips, rather than relying on our analytics team for manual reporting. Now, our analysts spend more time identifying opportunity for improvement rather than reporting on the current state!

Qlik Sales Dashboard Developer

  • January 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Qlik Sense is mobile friendly and allows for creation of clean dashboard layouts.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is functionality lost in Qlik Sense that can only be found in Qlikview.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sales reporting/analytics. Sales members are able to view dashboards from mobile devices in the field or away from the office.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It seems Qlik is starting to push this over Qlikview, so they should make sure it has all the current functionality.
