Reviews from Real Users
Qlik Sense stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its associative analytics technology and its remote access capability. Qlik Sense employs an associative analytics engine that gives users the ability to take their data analytics to the next level. Users can create visual connections between different datasets spread across their network, creating deep insights that enable users to gain a full understanding of their data. This engine is easily scaled up to allow a large number of users to benefit from the deep insights that it provides. Users can access Qlik Sense from anywhere in the world. Qlik Sense has an online portal that can be used consistently from anywhere at all. Having the ability to remotely analyze data gives users flexibility when it comes to choosing how to deploy their manpower.
Jarno L., the managing director of B2IT, writes, “The associative technology features are the solution's most valuable aspects. Qlik was the first company to implement an in-memory associative analytics engine. This basically means that all data is loaded into memory, but it also means that instead of joining data together, the data is associated together. From the front end, from the user interface point of view, data can be joined or included or excluded on the fly. It can be drilled down and drilled through and users can slice and dice it and that type of thing can be done from anywhere in the data to any other place in the data. It doesn't have to be predefined. It doesn't have to have hierarchies or anything like that.”
Tami S., the senior business intelligence analyst at the La Jolla Group, writes, “With the changing business landscape, it is nice to access Qlik Sense through an external website. As an organization when we use QlikView Desktop, we need to connect to our internal network. We can access QlikView through the QlikView access point but the website has a little different look and feel than the desktop application. We appreciate that Qlik Sense is browser-based and the user experience is the same whether at home, in the office or on a boat. As long as the user has internet access, performance is the same.”
Qlik Sense was previously known as QlikSense.

---|---|---|
Director Software Engineer at Clarivate | 4.5 | I use Qlik Sense to integrate multiple data sources and create high-quality, interactive dashboards. Its main strength lies in storing data in memory for fast access, offering high ROI. Improvement in API access could enhance its capabilities. |
Solution Architect at Predoole Analytics | 4.5 | I found Qlik Sense valuable for its self-service analysis, natural language processing, and integration with tools like Microsoft Teams. However, I see room for improvement in support response times and clarity of cloud pricing. |
Business Intelligence Architect at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.0 | In my banking role since 2017, Qlik Sense has been valuable for creating reports for C-level managers. It offers good visualization and interactivity, though Power BI is more affordable and user-friendly with superior updates and interactions. |
Associate Director at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | Qlik Sense provides good performance and effectively serves as a comprehensive ETL database and BI tool. However, it could enhance its appearance compared to competitors like Tableau or Power BI and incorporate more AI or real-time analytics features. |
student at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | I've used QlikView and Qlik Sense for data analytics and found them flexible but lacking mainstream support; Power BI feels more scalable and cost-effective, though Qlik remains valuable depending on the use case and integration needs. |
BI Analyst at Johnson & Johnson | 3.5 | Qlik Sense struggles with large data volumes, lacking a user-friendly interface and easy API integration. Users find it challenging due to slow performance and scripting requirements, prompting my company to consider solutions with better writeback capabilities, like Microsoft Power BI. |
Assistant Vice President at HSBC India | 4.0 | I use Qlik Sense for dashboard building and reporting, saving time but requiring technical knowledge. While improvements are needed, particularly in usability, it has evolved well since the 2024 release. I previously used QlikView and considered Power BI easier for Excel users. |
Direttore Progetti Speciali - Product Business Manager QLIK & Microsoft at Aldebra Spa | 4.5 | I use Qlik Sense to connect with ERPs, analyze data, and build dashboards, primarily focusing on manufacturing, finance, and the public sector. Its ease of use and intuitive data exploration are valuable, but tabular reporting in the Cloud version needs improvement. |
