Real-time data with a user-friendly interface
The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data. The interface is also very easy to use MashZone could be faster and provide more support for IoT platforms. I've been using MashZone NextGen Business Analytics for three years. This solution is stable. I believe…

Data visualization has become faster and flexible and now enables quick multi-source reporting
Qlik Sense is very easy to use, but sometimes integration is a bit challenging. In our case, we wanted to integrate the cloud version of Qlik Sense, and Qlik Sense is not supporting the on-premises version, so we moved to the cloud version. We had a lot of challenges when integrating Qlik Sense SSO with the reports that we wanted to show on our web app or mobile app. There were a lot of challenges along with that, but eventually, we overcame those challenges, and things are working fine now. The integration part is one point for improvement; it could be more simple because I found some complexities with it. The single sign-on part is a little tricky and is not straightforward. We have done multiple rounds with their technical team, and although it got resolved later on, I think that it could have been better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mashzone is the best product on the market for process analysis."
"This solution is made to be easy-to-use. If you can use Excel, you can use MashZone."
"The most valuable features are real-time data, introspective data, and input data, and the interface is also very easy to use."
"The technical support from Germany is very good."
"Placing buttons on my sheets creates a unique user experience and clears up clutter at the same time."
"It is simple to develop, which is good."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"We have been using Qlik Sense Enterprise for two and a half years, and it has been one of the best decisions we made."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile platform."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It has improved the work of our team, thanks to the ability to manage complex models and thanks to the possibility of integration with different needs."
"We have deployed Qlik Sense to many of our internal stakeholders and they simply love it, due to the simplicity and ease of use."
 

Cons

"If I try to analyze big data in MashZone, it is just impossible."
"MashZone is not very good to use with big data, statistical analysis, or financial analysis. This is not what it is built to do."
"MashZone could be faster and provide more support for IoT platforms."
"The tools perform very well but there is the inconvenience of being bound to only use Qlik tools in order to read your data."
"There is room for improvement in the storytelling mode and the report sharing. Qlik Sense also does not have a subscription base like Power BI. So a lot of the analysis is housed in community pages that are managed by either the author or a database administrator, or whoever the Qlik Sense manager is there."
"Ultra-customization: It needs no limits on which charts can have x amount of dimensions, y amount of measures, z amount of color expressions, etc."
"Qlik cloud's performance is an issue, as it has no costs - the resources are shared."
"The "vanilla" Qlik Sense tool is limited in some areas."
"They need much better server management. Currently, even a single application can crash the whole server."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
"Even though the solution is a self-service solution, many non-technical users still struggle to create their reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost is not bad considering the flexibility and support you receive from Qlik. I believe it is worth the cost."
"For personal use, the desktop version of Qlik Sense is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space."
"Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."
"Qlik Sense is pretty good in terms of price."
"Qlik Sense and its pricing model can follow any scalability."
"QlikSense offers a Hybrid environment architecture, which is very cost effective based on where the enterprise data resides."
"Qlik Sense pricing and licensing is like that of QlikView. It's on the high side for a small company, but it’s competitive among its peers. Use of licenses (referred to as tokens) is a bit confusing. There is a login access pass for infrequent or anonymous access."
"Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."
