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

"The amount of data it displays on the dashboard with such a ease, helps users to always get the results in desirable time limit."
"The product is very user-friendly and easy to operate."
"Ease of use, visualization, intuitive, the Qlik method of ETL, Qlik Sense."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"The dynamic interactive dashboard is the most valuable feature of the product to me."
"QlikView is flexible and allows users to create their own reports in a relatively short time."
"You can switch views easily."
"Now reports are available in short time in a single source."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"However, as the data volume increased, the skills of optimizing the tool need to be more advanced."
"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."
"The script engine for loading data needs a total overhaul. It is hard to use and counter-intuitive."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"Some improvement to the user interface (for the developers). It can be a little unwieldy, especially to people initially learning the program."
"They could improve the speed."
"Besides the fact it’s quite a useful tool for data visualization, the final user interface is not that intuitive."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."
"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
