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.

"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."

"QlikView Desktop Enterprise allows us to build dashboard visualizations in a fashionable way and allows us to make quick business decisions all over the enterprise."

Cons

"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."
"The initial set up was complex and painful, both with respect to database setup and the execution script."
"The original cost is set to use enterprise wide but the users growth is too slow to justify the cost. That's one of the reasons we stopped using this tool."
"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"Version management"
"I encounter deployment issues but it depends on how you develop it and for what are you using this tool."
"The management console is cumbersome to use for managing large numbers of users and documents."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"Sometimes the product final (look and feel) is different from the desktop tool and the web server."
"This cannot be considered a self-service product. It requires IT support."
"QlikView should have a connector or a specific product to allow people outside of the company or that don’t have a license to read/use the application (a kind of reader license)."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
