Useful for data visualization and business intelligence
Many of the features in Qlik Sense need to be available and reintroduced in QlikView. I believe many of the features have been added to QlikView after the layout containers were introduced. QlikView used to be a way more customizable tool than Qlik Sense is in the present time. 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. Hiding off the apps in the app overview tab based on the access was a really good feature that needs to be introduced back in the product since I see that, at the moment, there are multiple groups on the tool, owing to which multiple changes on the QMC part is required to handle the solution. Only the person with access to the dashboard in QlikView could have a link to the dashboard through QlikView's hub or access points. With Qlik Sense, one can see whatever is available in the stream. If a user wants to control everything in the product, then there is no need to make multiple changes in the QMC at the individual app level. The aforementioned area can be considered to improve Qlik Sense.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is not very complex."
"The solution is fast."

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
 

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 tool is expensive in Turkey."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"The user interface is old."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"QlikView lacks self-service capabilities, which means users depend on the IT team to make changes."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."
 

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."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"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."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
"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 solution is a little bit expensive."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
