Great tool for visualization, success is pending OEM embedding
What do you like best about the product?
Very straightforward which allowed me to learn pretty significant amount of features in just a few days. Supports more sophisticated analysis with simple and intuitive syntax.
Default visualization library covers most of what you'll need + the examples reports are extremely helpful.
Filters role over between sheets which is super important for us + search functionality is great.

What do you dislike about the product?
Copy pasting of multiple visualizations is not possible (or at least I don't know how to do it).
Can't copy sheets from app to app, even if the field names are the same.
Doesn't allow export from the sharing option, only if you send the actual report.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are looking to OEM a BI solution to help better convey what our company does. It is NOT meant for internal use, only for customer interaction. If this OEM will be successful (still very early stages) this partnership will save us a huge amount of effort & dev resources while presenting our data and analytics in a much more compelling way than now.
Easy to use, easy to administer
What do you like best about the product?
With a couple days of training, I was able to create and modify charts for my company as an admin. Trends in our data can be easily identified, tracked, and reported. Business users in all areas of the company can use this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data is not real-time. We do nightly refreshes. It was difficult for us to determine how to lock down the data that passes from our ERP to QlikView in the nightly refreshes - this process took some effort from our IT team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to get traditional Finance data out to the field so they can identify trends and opportunities quickly. Salespeople in the field now have one place to go to check progress against quota, and they don't have to contact Finance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend doing the training in person if possible. You're going to be able to use this tool properly if you can separate yourself from your normal daily routine long enough to focus on the training.
Qlikview for Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
I love the visual display, and ability to customize reporting. The dashboards are great!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way to save criteria selections for users, like a "favorite reports" (for frequently used reports)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Operational reporting, and providing drill-down ability
QlikSense Beginner
What do you like best about the product?
It is much more visually friendly for the end user.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on the end user, it can be very hard to navigate thru some of the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly financial reporting. It is a great tool to show graphs and charts

Great tool for building dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
Fully customizable dashboards, with only a bit of querying and transformation experience required. If you do know what you're doing, though (or have someone on staff that does), then you can create some impressive integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI tends to be slow at times, and bogs down with larger dataset.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're always trying to be fully aware of the lifetime value of our customers. Qlik has allowed us to take that information and democratize it, so to speak, so that all the staff knows the information they need to succeed.
Excellent BI Product
What do you like best about the product?
Opens up new business opportunities for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
End User licensing agreement in standard Qlick Sense EULA prohibits the use of the tool cor commercial business. This was frustrating to resolve and was overcome through an OEM agreement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The use of big data to better health outcomes in New Zealand through stories and information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to create a value added service which includes the Qlick Sense dashboards you need to have an OEM agreement.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ase of which it is to use the platform, especially for creating dashboards. Also, that I can have multiplen data sources which let me integrate them intoone dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be pretty expensive which makes it hard to justify to the accounting types. Also, on occassion I have had some perfrmance issues in termsof speed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have a lot of different systems which I needed to create dashboards against. By using QlikView i could get most of the systems to pull data from and then manipulate the data to create dashboards. It was pretty fast once I had the data coming in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While it is easy touse. I would suggest going through the tutorials and getting an understanding of the different functions.I was able to self-learn but I could have saved sometimeif only I was a little more patient initially.
THE BEST except for dealing with large data sets
What do you like best about the product?
I love Qlikview. It was difficult learning how to navigate and design at first, but once I overcame the learning curve the possibilities just grew and grew. It's amazing how many things you can customize and control. If you think it, with enough massaging you can make it happen. I love finding new ways to build visualizations and finding new hidden secrets all throughout the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, I work for a large enterprise company and we are approaching larger data sets that cannot be pulled into memory. Qlikview pulls data into memory as opposed to other BI tools like Tableau that can have a "real time" connection to your database, and aren't hindered by the size of the data set (to a certain extent). I have seen people use hacked approaches for getting Qlikview to function via "Direct Discovery" but it is very limited, and in such a way that no use case of mine will work so far. Once they develop a solution that allows the user or developer to connect to a database in real time (without pulling all the data into memory), I believe they will be the best BI tool ever.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My goal is to find meaningful insights or patterns in business data and then translate those findings into a message that helps leadership understand their business and make better decisions.
Qlikview has allowed me to have enough control over my visualizations so that I can communicate that message clearly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Steep learning curve -- worth it!
If your data set size is more than your development environment or production environment can hold in memory then you may need to try another tool until Qlik improves their Direct Discovery functionality.

Awesome collaborative experience with quick data discovery
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration, visualisation and best I can lead the self service efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
This works only on 64 bit machine, will be great if it works on 32 bit machines too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Qlik sense to tide over silos and getting them to use the data which is single version of truth.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider this if you have a knowledge employee base who have more leading questions in mind.
