Overall Satisfaction with QlikView
We are the largest QlikView roll-out in the UK and we use it to share high level performance metrics on clinical trials such as time and target data related to recruitment. The product is pitched under the banner of open data as it is used to inform a wide set of stakeholders including commercial, public sector and NHS. We operate QlikView on Amazon Web Services to provide a robust platform.
- QlikView is visually excellent and allows our users to interpret data rapidly for decision making.
- The ability to customise QlikView Apps allows for bespoke reporting for specific sectors.
- QlikView allows us to rapidly share information in a predictable way.
- QlikView relies on drop down menus and this seems a little antiquated in this day and age.
- QlikView also relies on trained staff to create the apps and this means accepting that this is a bespoke application and requires bespoke training and support.
- There are other products that are less clunky and require less trained staff to operate.
- For us the investment value is related to the change in working practices and desire to share rich-content with our stakeholders.
- QlikView is a good product and does what it says however the overhead of ad-hoc reporting remains.
- QlikSense and SAP Business Objects
QlikView at the time was the best product available for transitioning from an old style BI outfit to a new modern analytics outfit. The product provides the right tool set to deliver reporting and to allow access at a granular level.
