I am working in data analytics. They are the best solutions in the industry. With Qlik Sense, there is a way to integrate it within the company for sharing. It is good for certain use cases, though there are positives and cons for it as well.

In-depth analysis capabilities shine but wider support resources are needed
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I am working with QlikView mainly, and with Qlik Sense, the whole Qlik environment. It is licensed by the company I work for.
QlikView is highly manipulable, so you can build on top of the environment they already have to create your own solution for the problems you have. That is the positive for it compared to something Power BI.
What needs improvement?
Everything depends on the use case, but I would prefer Power BI because of how mainstream it is.
There is not much information available. It is not a mainstream tool that many companies use, so if you are doing something that has not been done before, you can find it challenging to get an answer. Unlike Power BI, where there are many examples of what you want to do elsewhere, with QlikView this is not the case.
The support for it could be improved. Growing the support online would be beneficial for Qlik. Having more guides on complex tasks you want to do with Qlik would help. There is support online and a Qlik community that shares solutions for common problems, but for quite niche requirements, it does not have that sort of support.
For how long have I used the solution?
It has been almost a year now.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
When the company I work for was installing the environment, it took them a long time to do it. The company did not have the scale to get it up and running efficiently. It took them a year or two to get everything working properly because the way we use it in the company is very specific to our professional services. It took them a while to get it working the way they wanted it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Power BI has the edge on scalability. The Microsoft environment has the advantage because of its size. It is easily scalable with Microsoft, with other services Azure and other tools they provide.
How are customer service and support?
I have never contacted Qlik myself.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It is based on SQL and T-SQL mainly, so if you are experienced with those languages, you would find your way easily.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is not about performance. It is just about how expensive it is to implement.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
For the company I work for, I have heard that Power BI would be a cheaper environment. That is why they are moving forward by integrating Power BI.
What other advice do I have?
I think something Power BI has the edge over Qlik Sense. I am not working directly with certain aspects, so I cannot comment further on those. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 7.
