QlikView Reviews

I am working on Qlik Sense and previously worked on QlikView for data visualization and reporting purposes.

It provides a comprehensive data warehouse solution within Qlik Sense, eliminating dependency on external data sources and enhancing data visualization capabilities.

I use the solution in my company since I like the product a lot. I find it to be better than the other tools in the market.

The tool helps me in the areas of 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.

We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases.

The product provides availability or adaptability for building an analytics dashboard. The selection parameters are easy to access. By applying specific filters in Excel, we can distribute a country's sales data into provincial states and then cities. It has efficient breakdown features.

My customers' main use cases for QlikView involve all their data sources, combining them into one, getting a business view primarily in the pharmaceutical industry. They look at sales versus budget, stock at end, making it very commercial and commercial-orientated in my client base, which we use to make commercial and strategic decisions.

My customers are monitoring specific metrics that are all financial, including sales, budgets, and payments.

The best features in QlikView are rapid development, the fact that I can do what I want in QlikView, and full control along with ease of use.

Regarding data integration capabilities in QlikView, they definitely provide a comprehensive perspective to my enterprise metrics.

I am familiar with the advanced analytics feature in QlikView; we do our own mathematical forecasting and statistical forecasting within QlikView, which is all formula-based and expression-based.

QlikView is extremely flexible in terms of visualization tools for communicating complex data insights.

I have a comprehensive use case that involves reviewing various aspects of financial balance, financial planning, accounting movements, and analytics, in addition to other applications related to industrial planning and more.

The key highlight of our work review process lies in the efficiency of data management on the backend. It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations. It offers a robust data management model on the backend and a user-friendly data browsing experience.

We use QlikView for business analytics, primarily for internal insights in the healthcare space.

QlikView employs the Snowflake schema, which becomes an associative model, making it easier to drive insights. Additionally, the intensity with which you can work on the ETLs is quite impressive.

In my manufacturing unit, we use QlikView to track various KPIs related to inquiries, bookings, test drives, retail sales, turnaround times, service attendance, part replacements, and more. We visualize this data through line charts, bar charts, and pie charts, and also offer ad hoc reporting for dealers to customize their dimensions and measures. This helps us monitor performance, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions efficiently.

The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept. It allows me to compress and store data, improving application performance by reducing load times. Additionally, I find the access control feature valuable as it enables me to restrict data access based on roles, ensuring data security. Lastly, the ability to schedule tasks using the QMC automates data reloads, keeping dashboards up-to-date without manual intervention.

We employ it as both an ETL tool and a visualization and analytics platform. It provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities.

The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation.
