Centrally deployed guided analytics apps and dashboards.
Custom and embedded analytics.
We like the enhancements that Qlik has done over the years starting from QlikView to Qlik Sense to QlikInsights. Our users have embraced the use of Reports and Dashboards that we have been able to provide with Qlik.

Cons

One of the primary challenges I've had with Amazon QuickSight so far is that some of the reports I want to build use data from different data sets. Instead of being able to put all of the information I want to see into one report.
Some of our Amazon QuickSight reports only update every 24 hours. It would be great to see that data in real-time.
I would remove the various time zones from Amazon QuickSight and only use the time zone we are in.

Use Standard SQL so that new staff can build sheets and apps quickly using existing knowledge
need to be able to select specific dates for filtering data (i.e., show data for all clients served between 7/1/2019 and 6/30/2020) as this would address the majority of our data requests from contracts and development
Provide a "user training" section of the site that allows end-users to have a guided training on how to navigate QilkSense and use Key features like the snapshot tool or how to apply multiple filters to a particular view using the organization's data, not a random dummy data set.

Qlik Sense 7.3

Based on 10 answers

Standard user interface and powerful analytic functions is GREAT.As technical person working in the background there are more things to do to make this a completely great tool.Some functions that should be standard requires consult scripting and hours.Now we are using it quite advanced and with many servers and in combination with QlikView. So overall I love the tool. But it could be better and user friendly and powerful in the background

Qlik Sense 7.3

Qlik is available when we need it. The only issue we experience is memory on the server, Qlik is very memory hungry and if you loads lots of data having enough memory to support the dataset is important. This needs to be taken into consideration as performance issue occur if you don't

Not only can you ask the support team for help, but you can also ask the community. Also with the community there is a vast amount of problems that have already been solved. The problem you are encountering has a likely chance of already being discussed and even solved in the community section saving you time from reaching out.

Qlik delivered on its promises and has been key to supporting the new world we live in . If we hadn't chosen Qlik sense when we did life would have been harder and our organisation wouldn't have been able to mange the CoVid-19 pandemic the way we have . We live in a data led world and Qlik does that for us.

Alternatives Considered

In our case, we are storing our large amount of data in the cloud so using QuickSight adds up to the performance of the reporting. We are using it as a secondary reporting tool so that a business user can generate their own report. We are using Tableau as our primary reporting tool.

We evaluated over a dozen vendors when we selected Qlik; among them I felt it had the best internal data model philosophy leading to much more powerful self-service analytics and apps which are easily extensible to include other visualizations. I think it was a reasonable choice at the time but as our analytics needs have changed over the last two years I've begun thinking about other options with a little more focus on rapid development and more visualization and customization options when creating dashboards, and if we must sacrifice some end-user versatility in exchange then we'd probably make that choice
