Featured Reviews

FerranGarcia - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a user-friendly interface and a variety of data visualization tools
My advice to new users considering Qlik Analytics Platform is to carefully assess their data project needs. While Qlik is a solid on-premises platform, the trend in the industry is moving toward cloud-based data solutions, including data warehousing and integration. Cloud data warehouses are often more modern, feature-rich, and scalable. If you are planning to create a new data warehouse in the cloud, it might make sense to also opt for cloud-native integration tools. The tech world is shifting towards cloud-native solutions, which better match the direction most global data projects are heading. Overall, I would rate Qlik Analytics Platform as a seven out of ten.

Cons

"More freedom for custom visuals and dashboard creation would be an improvement."
"It would be great if decentralized teams would have more features to manage the metadata on the dashboards, setup the specific user access rights and rules to govern incoming and outgoing data sets from/to other teams, and more features to separate the different data process layers (e.g. extraction, transformation [data quality, business rules])."
"One area where Qlik Analytics Platform could be improved is in providing better support for batch processing and traditional ETL workflows."
"The user experience needs to be improved."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
