The use cases depend on the industry. Finance, Telco, Manufacturing & Consumer Goods (CPG). Most of our customers are from these industries. We have regular projects in Mexico. Some use cases are around government requests to all banking and financing institutions, as well as public companies, to present specific reports every month. We use the solution to generate the reports for our customers. The sales and finance areas have a lot of requirements for such reports to get insights and predictive analysis.

Qlik sense
Nice platform for data visualisation
your business dashboard just a click away
Qlik Sense users can create their own data experience!
An easy-to-deploy solution with a variety of use cases and excellent reporting features
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
We use Qlik Sense to manage all our sales KPIs as well as renewal plans. It's the tool where all the Go to Market plan is designed and modeled.
What is most valuable?
Reporting and Alerting are valuable features of the solution. Many companies are requesting to implement them and now want to explore and use AutoML. It is a machine learning module easy to use with enough capacity to run sales/churn models.
What needs improvement?
Adoption experience is required. There is some technical background required to do some of the reporting. Customers often request easy interaction with other tools like Excel and PowerPoint.
For how long have I used the solution?
My organization has been partners with the product for more than ten years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Two of Qlik's main differentiators are scalability and analytics capabilities. It could solve extensive data size dB.
How are customer service and support?
I rate the support an eight or nine out of ten from the customers' perspective. The platform and the solution itself are quite stable, most of the support requirements are around getting the best usage of the solution.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite simple. The setup and integration with the customers can be done fast. The deployment method depends on the industry. It can be deployed on-premises and on the cloud. Banking customers request to have the product deployed on-premise. We have around 50% of the product on-premise and 50% on the cloud.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment takes less than a month. Most of the time, it takes one to two weeks to do the connections and create at least one dashboard in place. Then, depending on how deep the customer would need the reporting to be, it will take longer. It takes mostly two weeks for the setup, dashboards, and getting connectivity ready. We probably need one or two system engineers or IT engineers to deploy the product, no more than that. We have a lot of guys who have good experience with Qlik.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Upfront seems to be the most expensive tool. But when we talk about TCO, then the pricing rate change as this is one "all-inclusive tool" and does not need to add other services/elements to complete the setup.
What other advice do I have?
We see more requirements around machine learning and predictive analytics. The customers could optimize the value for their money and increase ROI by using and getting most of the functionality in place. Most companies initially use the product as a dashboard tool, but if you do that, you are not getting the real value of it. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
Good ETA with the ability to build intuitive and interactive dashboard designs
What is our primary use case?
The solution is used for helping clients in their decision-making abilities, and to effectively analyze their data.
With the product, we're creating intuitive, interactive, and storytelling dashboards.
How has it helped my organization?
This is a powerful tool with integrated ETL and the ability to handle huge data sets. It's capable of building intuitive and interactive dashboard designs.
What is most valuable?
The best features include ETL. Transforming data with complex logic can be done within the tool.
The Nprinting is useful. With it, we're scheduling reports directly to end-users.
What needs improvement?
I'd like to see more end-user-friendly UI designs and the ability to layer objects one by one would make a huge impact.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with Qlik Sense for more than seven years now.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
My entire career I've only dealt with Qlik only.
