Financial Controller with task of Business Intelligence Implementation at a wholesaler/distributor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified
We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

Data Science Intern at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
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

"Our primary use case is an application that our users use to get the profitability on a monthly basis."
"Extraction from almost all data sources provides a lot of value to me."
"The graphic interface is amazing, it is also very user-friendly and easy for developers to iterate, modify and evolve it."
"It improved development, because we could just put our data into it and start working, even with datasets with millions of records."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"We have enabled a user self service reporting capability supported minimally by IT for linking and sourcing of data."
"The in-memory architecture and ETL function are the most valuable features of this product to us."
"QlikView development projects are rapid and the product itself is very flexible and reliable."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment."
"QlikView is probably on the pricier side than other BI tools."
"Data modelling is often a protracted process, with no toolset available apart from scripting."
"On the other hand, QlikView has some constraints due to the architecture, so it may not be applicable for millions and millions and millions of data records because it requires significant expenses for the hardware."
"We would like to provide our customers with reports in PDF or other popular formats that are not included in the publisher; additional licenses are required for the print and PDF tool."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."
"The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
