Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified
We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"Their pricing structure doesn’t match their aggressiveness either, costing an end user $1500 for a web-based license."

"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"Initial setup was complex with respect to building the same project environment for a different business domain."
"The system needs some technical expertise to set up and can be expensive, but once set up, it works well."
