Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools.""The initial setup is not very complex.""Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them.""You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market.""A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting.""Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features.""On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL.""It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."

"Great capability, performance, flexibility, visuals, and the solution is also very cost effective.""I am looking forward to testing their full graphics that are available, as they looked very interesting in the demo."

Cons
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved.""There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use.""It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop.""I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date.""The user interface is old.""The tool is expensive in Turkey.""This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help.""The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."

More QlikView Cons →

"There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources.""Would like the ability to be able to benchmark."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
  • "QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
  • "Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
  • "It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
  • "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 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."
  • More QlikView Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "14,000 Pounds per year for licensing."
  • "I am still using the two-week trial, but at first sight, the price is reasonable."

    Top Answer:It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities
    Top Answer:QlikView is more expensive than SAP Crystal Reports. It could be improved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten.
    Top Answer:QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly. At present, I encounter difficulties while writing complex queries on the UI. It doesn't support the query button as well.
