SG
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

"Customer Service: It's very good."
"For the past year and six months, it has been very stable."
"The language support is very good and it understands more languages than other products."
"The data model helps my organization to recognize and identify the problem of our clients’ data."
"QlikView is an excellent tool, though expensive compared to other BI tools, it provides ETL capability allowing the building of a complete data warehouse within Qlik Sense."
"If you are looking for dashboards and do not have a data warehouse yet, QlikView is the best option."
"Personally, QlikView is the best when you talk about fast delivery and visualisation."
"Use QlikView for business, and Qlik Sense for BI developers."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"The solution is quite costly."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Error handling."
"There’s no version control, which means you can't roll back to earlier versions once overwritten/published."
"I have several lower-level users who don’t need full functionality of the tool, but do need to access more than one model. In this regard, the licensing structure is limiting and costly for a user who is not using the analytical aspects of the tool."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"QlikView is really easy to use and it can help you manage different kinds of data, but licenses are expensive."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"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."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"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 moderate, in the medium price range."
