"The number of visualizations that are present in Qlik is very useful for our developers to help our business partners tell stories with their data. Qlik continues to add to and enhance these visualizations with each release. We are also very excited to leverage the integration between Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog as we roll that out soon."
"Qlik Sense is very stable. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Even for rare issues, we receive good support from Qlik. It's a very stable solution."
"Qlik Sense has a modern look and feel and a very intuitive UI, so non-technical users find it very user friendly."
"The drag and drop UI has been the most useful to me."
"The product is very stable."
"Allowing the users to be able to take snapshots and create their own story without ever leaving the application is a very good feature."
"The Qlik Sense cloud insights advisor helps our business users to get the answers to their data questions so that they do not have to rely on IT/BI resources every time they have some data request."
"My organization now has data from disparate systems at their fingertips in a way that lets them get the answers they need when they want it."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"Some of the charts are still a bit basic and screen rendering on different sized monitors can be an issue."
"The augmented intelligence features don't work well for the analytical user."
"We want the next version of this solution to be cloud-based so that each user can access it from anywhere in the world with their phone, tablet, or computer without a VPN connection."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"I wish the product had the ability for slightly more customization. The out-of-the box charts and visualizations are fantastic, but I want to be able to tweak it without having to add outside extensions and widgets."
"If a team wants to keep track of source code changes, there is not an out-of-the-box solution for it."
"Mostly when it comes to the loading of the data and reload times of the reports, it could be better."
"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."
