Unlocks actionable insights through user-friendly analysis features
The self-service capabilities that Qlik Sense offers are significant. They offer natural language processing, allowing users to ask questions in layman language, and Qlik Sense will create charts and narratives automatically. Users can access any dashboard developed in Qlik Sense from familiar portals such as Okta or other company portals through embedding features. The integration with chatbots, particularly Microsoft Teams, allows users to access dashboards and ask questions directly within Teams. The collaboration feature enables users to share analysis by taking snapshots and tagging team members within the Qlik Sense interface, eliminating the need for lengthy emails or screenshots. The storytelling feature allows users to create presentations directly in Qlik Sense using dashboard analysis, making it easier to answer questions during meetings. The subscription feature enables users to receive charts and sheets via email instead of navigating to the dashboard, facilitating monitoring purposes. Qlik Sense offers alerting capabilities where users can set thresholds for KPIs and receive notifications when these thresholds are reached. The platform also includes AI/ML features for predictive modeling through a no-code component, allowing business users to create and deploy AutoML models without depending on data scientists. The Qlik Answers component, featuring generative AI capability, enables users to get answers from unstructured data including Excel, HTML documents, or Microsoft Word documents by creating a knowledge base. The user-friendly interface operates on a drag-and-drop approach, with Qlik Sense suggesting appropriate charts based on selected dimensions and measures. The associative engine capabilities allow data association between tables, implementing selections across related tables. The platform uses a color-coding system (white, gray, and dark gray) to show related, excluded, and unrelated data selections, providing insights beyond traditional BI tools.

Data analysis has improved and reporting now tracks live business performance and resolution time
The best features of Solve DevOps Elasticsearch and Kibana, in my opinion, include the graph, which I find very useful. What I appreciate most about the graphs in Solve DevOps Elasticsearch and Kibana is the visualization, which is very easy for even someone who is a beginner in data analysis to use, and the customization also helps in making my work seamless. Another aspect I forgot to mention about Solve DevOps Elasticsearch and Kibana is the AI Assistant, which is very good for assisting with data indexing, analyzing APIs, generating sample datasets, creating visualizations, and troubleshooting errors. Solve DevOps Elasticsearch and Kibana has positively impacted our organization by improving our full-time resolution time and SLA, because it supports me in troubleshooting and handling reconciliation issues effectively. Since I started using Kibana, I can say that it has improved our relationship with our partner because we are able to provide a solution in less than an hour with troubleshooting and data visualization, maintaining our SLA at 90% and ensuring customer satisfaction remains at 100%.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qlik has brought tremendous value to our organization in a few key ways."
"Leveraging and reusability of already existing QlikView assets and knowledge."
"With QlikSense, our company can tackle some projects that we never could have before, we are improving all areas or departments and we are building a real data-driven philosophy around data and the power of information."
"It uses an associative engine + an in-memory environment: I don't have to calculate hypercubes."
"The overall ability to build quick wins with simple data to drive insights."
"Business users have been able to use the BI self-serve model."
"Qlik offers you all the features needed to extract the raw data from the source systems including an ETL layer to transform the data and to connect the multiple data sources into one data model, easy data sharing, security and scaling features, dashboards, and report functionality to share your data with your end-users."
"Qlik Sense has assisted my company in providing management information to users across all levels of the organization."
"Since I started using Kibana, I can say that it has improved our relationship with our partner because we are able to provide a solution in less than an hour with troubleshooting and data visualization, maintaining our SLA at 90% and ensuring customer satisfaction remains at 100%."
 

Cons

"Technical Support: 5/10 - really needs improvement, we can't be expected to spend large amounts of money in consulting fees every time we need something, especially when you're not providing training resources."
"Reload time is a limit since everyone wants real-time data."
"Qlik Sense is very easy to use, but sometimes integration is a bit challenging."
"It needs continued improvement on its visualizations and content customization."
"Areas for improvement include user-friendliness, self-service, and some of the visualization options for generating reports."
"Qlik Sense has better performance, particularly in its archival system. However, Power BI has better visualizations and interactions with updates in 2023 that provide ease of use. Power BI is more user-friendly than Qlik Sense."
"I believe that the area in which the product could be improved is the part related to programming and its language, which is certainly complex and still not very guided."
"From the initial setup of the product we had some struggles getting connections to some of our databases to function, this indicated that some of the data extract drivers can be improved and addition of some of the older database engines need to be added in Qlik Sense."
"I recommend that the application be made more intuitive and user-friendly, as I found it confusing the first time I was using it, and improvements in the user experience would help beginners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You need to pay 5,000 Norwegian kroner per user. Microsoft Power BI is slightly more expensive than Qlik Sense."
"Know your needs when going into the purchasing decision."
"Licensing is quite good, easy, but slightly expensive."
"I believe pricing is similar to other products in the same category, if you have it on-premise."
"Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."
"For on-premise enterprise users, a number of additional features come at a premium cost."
"Licensing: Review the named model and move towards a usage model (e.g., cores, memory, computers, API calls, etc.)."
"Ultimately, the cost is low, and it implements fast. The limiting factor is how quickly your staff can keep up."
