We performed a comparison between Qlik Sense and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Embedded BI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The extensibility of the Platform with either internally created extensions or the use of third-party provided items really opens the platform up."
"Some of the valuable areas of this solution include producing individual reports and closing the gap."
"It is simple to develop, which is good."
"The solution is scalable."
"What I found most valuable in Qlik Sense is its flexibility. It's a very flexible tool, and it has a lot of capabilities compared to Tableau and Power BI. In Qlik Sense, you can take data from any of the systems, and you can do data transformation, prepare the data, then present your KPIs. Data transformation isn't present in Tableau, Power BI, and other tools. In Qlik Sense, you're able to get the data and directly present that data. The presentation layer is also very good in Qlik Sense. My company is very happy with this tool."
"Qlik Sense brings in the concept of shared libraries where one user can create custom dimensions (even with drill-down functionality), measures, and even visualizations and save it to the "Master Items," from which the other users can simply drag and drop to use it for their analysis."
"The product responds fast for data analysis."
"All the visualizations have been so valuable."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"The one thing I would probably try to add is some kind of tutorial since the tool has a lot of options to work with, and for someone who is just starting and does not have any prior experience, it can be a little overwhelming."
"They need to keep it as simple as possible but include as much advanced functionality as possible by positioning all the objects on the page, changing colors for all the objects, improving sheets actions, etc."
"In my opinion, collaborative development of the Qlik Apps is a bit tricky and difficult in the Qlik Sense Cloud."
"The scripts available in the solution are not great."
"It's going to take 20 to 30 minutes to refresh sometimes."
"What needs improvement in Qlik Sense is the support. It could be faster. My organization had already talked to Qlik management and has escalated multiple times, so management is looking into the support."
"Right now, it is complex and you have to understand the data model prior to analyzing it, so basically I would like to see an integration with Excel in the future."
"I am starting to work with Qlik Sense SaaS these days. This environment has its own reporting service, however, one of the things that could be better for the people that are already using Nprinting, is to have a Nprinting in SaaS."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
