In-memory data storage boosts performance
The advantages compared to other BI tools show architectural differences. The main feature is that it keeps all the data in memory. It doesn't retrieve the data from data sources when I need it on the dashboard; instead, it quickly provides the desired data, making it very fast compared to other BI tools. The ROI is very high using Qlik Sense. It offers many benefits of BI. It is flexible from a developer's point of view, allowing me to accomplish many tasks compared to other BI tools. From an end-user perspective, it's convenient and performance-oriented, providing something meaningful from all the organization's data.

Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Qlik Sense provides better visualization."
"The ETL component allows us to pull from many different sources, making pulling data in easy."
"It offers good control. Loading the logs is also a good thing."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"The most valuable features are that Qlik has a very strong ATL available and the capacity to handle large volumes of data."
"We can generate various graphs, various reports and we can mainly use it for dashboard related things. We can create a dashboard with live data and we can make decisions based on this information,"
"The most valuable feature is the interface for the end-user."
"The UI is very easy to use, with drag and drop self-service analytics."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
 

Cons

"The security rules should be made easier to use."
"I am not really a fan of the set analysis. It's its own language that doesn't quite make a whole lot of sense to me at this point. I wish it were more intuitive."
"The SaaS offering is being enriched quickly in order to attract new customers to that space and encouraging existing customers to make the switch. The Enterprise solution is therefore lagging behind SaaS in features."
"A valuable improvement for this solution would be the enabling of us to host dashboards for our customers."
"Error handling is an area that needs to be improved."
"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."
"Qlik dashboards are not friendly with end-users, but they have been enhancing this shorted in some recent releases and next releases hopefully."
"We have faced some issues with NPrinting, so I feel there is some improvement needed such that it would allow the use of variables and calculative fields from Qlik."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing can start to get expensive, but compared to other tools in this space it is about average."
"It is a little expensive for the Italian market. Normally, Qlik Sense has two types and costs. The medium cost is around 700 euros per year."
"The new licensing model is much better."
"Licensing could be cheaper."
"I believe pricing is similar to other products in the same category, if you have it on-premise."
"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."
"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."
