Saranya Deepthi - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Engineer at Wipro
Improved AI-driven dashboards have accelerated decisions but still need better visuals and faster refresh
Absolutely, nothing is entirely positive, and everything has both advantages and disadvantages. When I worked with Qlik Sense, circular charts were not available, which meant I had to look for alternative solutions that would be reliable or make the functionality work. There are some features that need to be added. Additionally, there is a limit to the number of fields that can be added in Qlik Sense, and I believe it would be beneficial if they increased the count for fields and columns. There might be requirements where an Excel file contains many columns that need to be displayed as visual representations to clients, and in those situations, it becomes very difficult and I have to use alternative approaches. When this problem arose, I used HTML code to write a solution and make it work. Qlik Sense should avoid these types of limitations in future updates. Another issue is page resolution. If a client wants to view the dashboard on a single page without scrolling, bar charts appear small and the values in KPIs, bar charts, scatter plots, and line graphs cannot be seen very clearly. Adding more extensions to make the job easier would also be beneficial. Improvements to reporting would be helpful as well, because working with large datasets makes reporting very difficult. Additionally, when data is refreshed, it cannot be completed in a short timeframe. Refreshing very large datasets can take one, two, or even three hours, so reducing the refresh time would be very useful for customers.

I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.
* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qlik Sense has given us the ability to load large log files and provide analytics."
"Qlik has made our business users empowered to build their own reports with minimal IT intervention."
"Qlik sense is considered the single source of truth for our organization's operational data."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"Qlik Sense has allowed us to compile and analyze our data in real-time, thanks to the various and specific applications that have been designed and built."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are its speed and seamless development of web technologies."
"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."
"The solution offers very good scalability; since we have a lot of data, I never miss data, with 1,000 leads and 1,000 activities all shown there."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"Sunset the product; moving on to another product."
"The technical support provided by the Qlik Sense team isn't great as it's very slow."
"I wish the product had the ability for slightly more customization. The out-of-the box charts and visualizations are fantastic, but I want to be able to tweak it without having to add outside extensions and widgets."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"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."
"A valuable improvement for this solution would be the enabling of us to host dashboards for our customers."
"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."
"Qlik Sense (as for ver 3.1) is still missing some key functionality that QlikView has."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The new licensing model is much better."
"Licensing is quite good, easy, but slightly expensive."
"The costs can initially become quite high. Make sure you have a clear understanding of who will truly use the product as opposed to someone that will simply receive the end report."
"You will spend more time on educating your staff than licensing the product."
"Licensing: Review the named model and move towards a usage model (e.g., cores, memory, computers, API calls, etc.)."
"Know your needs when going into the purchasing decision."
"Qlik Sense and its pricing model can follow any scalability."
"The product is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
