The database setup is a pain initially, but once it's done everything works fine.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Well certainly this product has helped many finance users in the organization as this product enables them to see the numbers for any cost center and business unit and also get a consolidated view of group level numbers."
"This product offers a wide range of corporate performance management tools for powerful financial consolidation, planning and reporting."
"Khalix is a simple tool that builds on existing data sources to develop solutions in forecasting, planning and consolidation needs."
"This tool is mainly used for forecasting, and it will, for sure, help all the organizations that need data/reports on expenses and headcount forecasting."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"The combination of quick, agile delivery combined with a front end that allows you to easily drill through from high-level dashboards to low level details means that we can deliver according to the business case."
"The productivity-to-cost ratio is much higher with QlikView."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"It’s a great BI tool to convert raw data coming from several different sources into a dashboard full of in-depth knowledge, to do proper information analysis and make accurate decisions for the company."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"Customer service is outstanding."
"Powerful, scalable, and a bit addictive, allowing you to see your data in ways never thought possible."
 

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."
"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"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."
"They could improve the speed."
"I encounter deployment issues but it depends on how you develop it and for what are you using this tool."
"Threshold for a non-coder to create new reports."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"Data modelling is often a protracted process, with no toolset available apart from scripting."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"The solution is quite costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."

"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
