In short, the best cloud-based business intelligence and analytics platform. I would say that the entry cost can be the only limitation when implementing QlikSense. I would also recommend that the existing QlikView (older version) users should upgrade to QlikSense to enjoy the latest interface, user experience, easier implementation and additional functionalities. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - Responsive and intuitive Interface- Ability to drill down to the data line level- Ability to export the Dashboards to various formats- Ability to use the Dashboards in presentations- Integration and Data Import capabilities #### Cons - Pricing structure- Automatic distribution of reports requires another licence- Somewhat steep learning curve- Can require high processing power for complex dashboards #### Reasons for choosing Qlik Sense Simply the best user experience and the preference to work with the industry leader in analytics. #### Reasons for switching to Qlik Sense Looking for enhanced scope/capabilities offered by QlikSense. --- ### Best BI Solution for Large Data Sets - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We have millions of rows of data in our apps so we needed a BI tool that could handle the volume. Qlik is the right tool for us in that regard. The support from Qlik is frustrating to say the least. We end up going to our partner and paying them hourly rates for support rather than reporting issues to Qlik. Vizlib really makes Qlik shine, though it is unfortunate that we need a third party add-on to do that. Overall I would recommend Qlik and would look to implement it again in my next company. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Qliksense allows us to easily relate data from many data sources with little effort. We have deployed over 40 apps to the business that are used by hundreds of users from all departments. We are able to easily show both detail and summary information for all of our data sets. #### Cons Qlik should spend more effort on allowing users to better format the visualizations and text within the tables and charts. We had to purchase a third party product called VizLib to to make it look better. #### Reasons for choosing Qlik Sense We reviewed all three solutions and had demos with all three vendors. Our decision came down to Tableau and Qliksense and we chose Qlik due to the ability to handle large volumes of data and because of its data modelling capabilities. #### Reasons for switching to Qlik Sense Our instance of DOMO was not implemented properly. It had nothing to do with Domo. --- ### Good Analytical software - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Pharmaceuticals - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It has all features making it easy to visualise the data #### Cons The scripting language is different and it could be improvised and additional programming languages options can be added --- ### The best Bussiness Intelligence Tool I ever used - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: César Alejandro R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We used to have problems to know the profit of the company. Now we just open Qlik Sense and we know it, the overall profit of the company, also per costumer, brand or even product #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros You need some training to work in a efficient way with Qlik Sense, but once you know the tool, you can design complete reports wich allow obtain critical information about your bussiness fast. #### Cons Maybe is more expensive than Microsoft Power BI #### Reasons for choosing Qlik Sense We had worked with an old version of Qlikview and we liked the tool. I prefer the visual appearance of Qlik Sense and the possibility of using it on Firefox, my favourite browser #### Reasons for switching to Qlik Sense Qlik Sense is cheaper and more flexible than Qlikview --- ### Analyze data fast and make decisions quickly with Qlik Sense - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Chirag S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our goal was to have everyone reviewing business analytics in one spot and making decisions based on explainable data. We were Excel users for analytics at first. It was OK but we couldn't scale. We dabbled with Tableau. It was dreadfully slow and awkward. We demo'ed a couple more software and chose Qlik Sense due its speed, scalability and performance on mobile devices. Within days of using Qlik, our staff was able to convert 10 most used Excel dashboards into excellent dashboards that gave a much clearer perspective into business operations and finance. On modest server, we have been running Qlik Sense to provide enterprise-wide data analytics and our ability of decisioning has improved significantly due to Qlik. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Speed. Qlik Sense loads data quickly into memory and analysis is stunningly fast. It is very easy to get the information you need quickly and begin to make decisions. Slicing and dicing the data is very fast as well. Having used competing software like Tableau, Qlik Sense is a breath of fresh air. There's no waiting time during analysis and that keeps a person focused on the application and gets the person curious about information being presented. #### Cons The software's support model is horrific. Qlik uses value added resellers (aka VAR) for the most part. Most VARs I have talked to aren't exceptional and provide absolutely no valuable support after selling the software. They basically add zero value. Qlik has no idea what VARs are doing and VARs have no idea what Qlik is trying to tell them. Getting a license key correctly can take a few tries. Great software, horrific delivery. If I were the CEO of Qlik, I'd change the business model and remove VARs altogether and bring sales, marketing and support right into Qlik. #### Reasons for choosing Qlik Sense We shortlisted Tableau, Sisense, Qlik and Spotfire. They all had their benefits in different industries and settings. We eliminated Spotfire first due to the look-and-feel and feature set. Tableau was next to go because it was just slow. Tableau had fancy graphics that we were unlikely to use. Sisense and Qlik were the fastest of the lot and had an easy-to-understand ETL model. Both were fast to develop, scalable and clean. Sisense had several little bugs and felt like it was not quality controlled enough, but Sisense also fixed issues fast. Sisense had support built into the product cost. Qlik was just exceptionally fast. There weren't any apparent bugs. Everything worked as expected. There were fewer features in Qlik Sense than Qlik View, but Qlik Sense development was very fast using web UI (similar to Sisense). Qlik Sense's growth and developer community was thriving. Sisense and Qlik were parallel until we did visualization on mobile phones and tables. Qlik won hands down. Licensing options were wider with Qlik in that we could do perpetual licenses or subscription. Qlik also had a product we could try out, and that further helped our selection. We've been very pleased with our selection. --- ### A Comprehensive Look at Qlik's Data Visualization Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Christian W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Newspapers - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, Qlik Sense is a great data visualization tool. It is highly customizable and provides a wide range of data sources and connectors. The software is quite expensive and the learning curve can be steep, but once users get the hang of it, they can create beautiful interactive visualizations with ease. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Qlik Sense is an incredibly powerful data visualization tool.

The software is highly customizable, giving users the ability to tailor the visuals to their preferences. It also has a wide range of data sources and connectors available, making it easy to access and integrate data from multiple sources. #### Cons One potential downside of Qlik Sense is its pricing structure, which can be quite expensive. Additionally, the learning curve can be steep for those who are unfamiliar with the software, making it difficult for users to get up and running quickly. #### Reasons for switching to Qlik Sense Qlik Sense is a comprehensive data visualization tool with a wide range of features and customization options. It also has a wide range of data sources and connectors, making it easy to access and integrate data from multiple sources. Additionally, Qlik Sense offers a comprehensive security feature set, making it a great choice for organizations with sensitive data.

No incentive was offered We have been able to move away from spreadsheet based reports where we had various manipulated versions of the data that were not up to date and took hours to prepare to a centralised reporting platform that is updated on a regular basis ready for the users to use and act on the insights gained. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Qlik Sense have enabled us to use more of our data and bring the data together in Dashboards that were a very difficult task to achieve in the past using spreadsheets. Using spreadsheets made it difficult to analyse tracking data where you ran out of space before you really got started. #### Cons After initial setup we got in creating connections to uncommon databases that proved very difficult to get setup in Qlik. #### Reasons for choosing Qlik Sense We had been working with Qlik View before and a lot of our reports could be easily migrated to Qlik Sense and the proof of concept done by the consultants were was exactly what we were looking for. #### Reasons for switching to Qlik Sense The Qlik View software has a place in the market but is not built for mobile and Qlik Sense is a lot easier to develop and deploy and auto adapts to any screen size to give the user the best view or readability of the reports. --- ### Decent BI tool - A good package for quick and easy reporting - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bilal S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's being used across the whole organization, and it helps change data from multiple sources to information for better decision making. This has also given us better access to transnational level data. Which has improved our scope and insights as well as improved our decision making. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Qlik Sense is very well suited for companies without a proper data warehouse. - It is fairing very well in sales analysis and KPI management. - Mini QVDs can act like a mini data warehouse. - It builds mini data warehouses. - It's good for the merging of data. - It connects well with other systems. #### Cons Qlik Sense is good for simple analytics. However, it is not that easy to set up "what if" scenarios, more advanced statistical analysis, and custom stuff. - The coding of equations is quite complicated. - Better customer service from sales. - Better customer service help with solving problems with the tool and upgrades. - Better user-friendliness for writing equations by the end-user. #### Reasons for choosing Qlik Sense Qlik Sense is very well suited for companies without a proper data warehouse. #### Reasons for switching to Qlik Sense - Superior product - Advancement - More real time decision making --- ### Qlik Sense Review: A Comprehensive Overview - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nadezhda K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, Qlik Sense is an incredibly powerful and user-friendly data analysis tool that makes it easy to quickly understand and analyze your data. Despite some of its more complex features, it is still relatively easy to use and can provide valuable insights from your data. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Qlik Sense is an incredibly powerful and user-friendly data analysis tool that makes it easy to get insights from your data. The drag-and-drop nature of creating visualizations makes it simple to quickly understand and analyze your data, and the data integration capabilities allow for easy integration with other data sources. #### Cons While Qlik Sense is a powerful tool, it can be difficult to learn due to its complex features and user interface. Additionally, there are some features which can be difficult to use, such as the scripting language and data modeling capabilities. #### Reasons for switching to Qlik Sense Qlik Sense stands out from its alternatives due to its drag-and-drop visualizations, data integration capabilities, and powerful data modeling and scripting capabilities. In addition, the user interface is clean and intuitive, which makes it easy to use for both experienced and novice users. --- ### Qliksense For Retail - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Janardhan C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Response times are good while analyzing the data. #### Cons Downloads report data only into excel. Unable to download report formats like colors, fonts etc. Not supports presenting our product images as part of analytics. Not at all, mobile firendly. #### Reasons for switching to Qlik Sense Our Software provider convinced that QlikSense is more advanced and mobile friendly. But, we are unable to succeed in migrating mobile. --- ### Qlik Sense Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It is a very good application for creating Dynamic Dashboard #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We can easily perform data transformation and Dashboard Designing capabilities #### Cons The Cost is a little high and they can reduce it . --- ### Qlik Sense On Premise Enterprise - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Dave E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We use Qlik Sense to deliver enterprise wide analytics covering various business units, including Commercial finance, demand planning, after market performance, ICT, eCommerce, procurement, master data management, sales forecasting and market share analysis. The flexibility of Qlik Sense and addition of 3rd party extensions allows us to extend the use of Qlik Sense beyond analytics and bring the platform to the core of our digital workplace, augmenting analytics with workflow, and team collaboration. The intuitive associative engine and powerful visualization capability within Qlik sense as provided a powerful platform which allows us to develop user engaging, intuitive and agile data analytics tools which drive informed, timely and impact business decision making. The flexibility of Qlik Sense and addition of 3rd party extensions allows us to extend the use of Qlik Sense beyond analytics and bring the platform to the core of our digital workplace, augmenting analytics with workflow, and team collaboration. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The adoption of Qlik Sense has provided the business with a solid platform to build upon, moving from a silo approach to reporting through a multitude of large, static, cumbersome spreadsheets to an accessible, intuitive, powerful analytics platform capable to dealing with large volumes of data. For the first time, providing the business with a single version of the truth, the ability to see everything in one place. In itself the efficiency gains of this has offset the adoption costs by a considerable amount. #### Cons There is a direction currently with feature releases within QLik Sense which are focused towards the SaaS or Cloud offerings of Qlik Sense. This leaves those who have invested heavily in on premise enterprise deployments in a difficult possitrion, to gain the benefits of some pwoerful new features they have to look to reinvest further towards these SaaS or Cloud deployments, or bring in a hybrid model. Qlik provide no real split between what features are available in each of the deployment options. --- ### User-friendly - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that it supports the drag-and-drop functionality besides it being able to handle large volumes of data and perform complex calculations. #### Cons It can be expensive to license and maintain, so if you want to use it, use it fully. --- ### The best BI tool on the market - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Abdelrahman Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Excellent, the best BI tool on the market #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Handles any Complex ETL possible Can connect to any data source Easy to use #### Cons Interoperability can be better and improved by added more data sources specially Microsoft products #### Reasons for choosing Qlik Sense Complex ETL --- ### Qlik was an great starting point on the company path to meaningful Business Intelligence - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Martin S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It helped us greatly simplify our monthly management reporting and has been earmarked for a number of Reporting options going forward #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to use interface for data consumers and the ability to generate meaningful measures and KPIs quickly. We can post large amounts of data for our decision makers to digest and analyse without resorting to reams of spreadsheets. Uptake and feedback has been really good and most if not all users are pleased with the development so far and are looking forward to more applications in the pipeline going forward. Being able to find other user created plugins to manipulate data has also been really useful. #### Cons The data connections out of the box don't contain MDX and SSAS connections which would have been nice. The data designer isn't as good as some of its competitors and needing to learn another scripting language slowed down some of the early progress. --- ### An easy to use and powerful BI tool. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Fernando d. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Easy of use that leverages productivity to the maximum and the final result that looks so much good. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Among many good features, Qlik Sense has a very good data load interface. The scripts are very easy to learn and also very powerful. You can transform and validate data at load step without have to know any programming language neither SQL, of course, if you know SQL you can make even more complex and complete scripts. The built-in and graphical data load tool is enough in many scenarios, you can even use it to generate the "gross" script and then refine it with your own rules. Another good point is the customer support and knowledge sharing which exists in their forums, you can find almost anything you ever need there. I never needed to open a customer ticket for technical reason, but some questions regarding licensing and product availability has been quickly and completely answered by e-mail. #### Cons Some minor features which is already available in other BI tools, even on Qlik View, is not available in Qlik Sense. As an example, I miss some kind of "share expression/measure" function in this tool. When we create a measure, we cannot use this as a source to another measure, or to an expression, instead, we must replicate that logic any and everywhere it is required. --- ### Qlik Sense makes is easy for business analysts to answer questions of their data - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Qlik Sense is a lot easier to pick up and get going with than QlikView, but has most of the same underlying capabilities and benefits. It is also more of a self-service tool for business analysts as there's less technical skill required to build charts/graphs in Qlik Sense. #### Cons Qlik Sense is great, but to get the real power from it, you still need to learn Qlik's scripting language. It doesn't have quite the same level of functionality that QlikView has, but is catching up quickly. If you're dealing with large volumes of data, the hardware requirements can be quite large. --- ### Data analytics for the masses - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Miguel Angel B. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Qlik Sense is not QlikView. For those of us who have been working with both might seem like the next iteration of the latter. It is not. It uses websockets instead of HTTP and this has a huge impact in performance and usability. The cloud solution is still a work in progress, but for the needs of most users, enough and recommendable. Disclaimer, I'm a former Qlik employee and current Qlik customer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Proven in-memory engine and robust data extraction language. Drag and drop user interface, responsive, ready to create, not just consume, from mobile devices like tablets. Overall performance and very complete integration with web technologies. Open sourced libraries. Fine-grained user access engine. #### Cons Applications are limited to the power of one single computer, although several computers (nodes) can be clustered, they act, at the end, individually (i.e.: not adding up resources from all the servers available). As of version 3.2 lacks a full governance tool and a central library across applications, so what is created for one can be reused in another. Built-in objects are basic, leaving more advanced visualizations to extensions or development of some kind, usually far from the advanced user knowledge (e.g.: widgets). --- ### Great, modern BI and Data Vis tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Adam J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Building Materials - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered A great tool that helps us make sense of our data day to day. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is a great data tool with a modern UX and strong functionality - both for the user and the data back end. Lots of flexibility to build and connect data, and powerful tools for visualization & BI. #### Cons No major concerns. There is very deep functionality, so any issues are likely our own. --- ### Good product over the years - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Marcelo G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Chemicals - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's has been good but i am worried that competitors like Power BI that are pushing very strong in the market. I be seen many clients switching to Power BI. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros -It's Simple for new users and allows self discovery. -It very fast and code is easy to learn. -There is a lot of material to learn and a good community. -Allows you to build your own datawarehouse using Qvds. #### Cons -You need to pay extra for features like Automated Report Generation (NPrinting) and also if you use SAP you need to pay for a special connector. -You rely on external extension to build nice dashboards but they are improving in this area every month. -It's expensive compared with others solutions. --- ### Great Tool, good value! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great company, great people, wonderful user community. I highly recommend this tool over others in its space. It's more of a European take on business analytics, than an American, so a bit less flashy in the graphics but loads of more feature-rich functions and abilities. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very well architected in the back end, with loads of security and functionality to leverage. Easy to use from a self-discovery standpoint for even the most basic data lover. Covers our 80/20 rule of 80% self-serve and 20% access to raw data for advanced analytics. #### Cons Get's a bit clumsy top administer when your user base grows, unless you staff the tool with a decent administrator. Set your expectations early with the business on these needs, or you will struggle maintaining the tool while fighting for additional resources. A bit pricy at entry level, but more than pays for itself with big revenue gains. --- ### A work in progress, though it will get you there! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: M.D. v. - Industry: Civic & Social Organization - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Though it really has its place in the market for simpler deployments, do take care when planning bigger or complex deployments as the servicability of such a deployment is difficult and tricky (but doable). #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros -Qlik code is easy, Qlikview-code is easy reusable -InMemory works! -Lots of help online -In the end it will get you allmost there... #### Cons -Visualisation not on par with 'the other big-ones'. No proper customisation, and a lot of basic visualisations are not available (Band chart, Radar chart, Combi-plot). -No analitics/statistiscs toolkit. -Presenting data/apps takes forever in a citrix-environment. -Developing a set of dashboards/apps in Sense feels clumsy and messy. There is no hierarchy, keeping track of sequential apps.(Extract/Translate/Presentation) is quite a thing. Think debugging... -No check-in/check-out tooling, no folderstructures for unpublished apps but a cluttered personal workspace so a lot of discipline and creative thinking is needed. -Building a corporate environment in Sense feels actually quite 'dirty'. --- ### Among the top three data visualization software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros A great mix of UI and Data management makes this software one of the top in the market, especially because of the BI power that allows manipulating a huge amount of data without suffering slowness or reduction in visual quality #### Cons I would suggest choosing this software just for advanced users who are already confident with deep analysis and visualization --- ### Qliksense is very easy to develop.... - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Balpreet S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
