Likelihood to Recommend Based on my limited experience and use, and therefore limited global knowledge of the software, I would recommend it especially if the data that will be used as inputs to the model has previously worked on a spreadsheet such as Excel. I would also recommend it to analyze problems of medium and small size. Given the experience I have had when I have used it with large problems, there have been noticeable decreases in the speed of response (which are not associated with the size of the system of equations involved in the calculation). Excellent for processing linear programming models.

We have noticed how it has increased relationships with our clients thanks to the credibility and security that we provide.
Read full review Pros Easy to use and learn. Strong optimization platform for business and supply chain problems which can be modeled in Excel It can handle multiple objectives and more than 8000 decision variables in a problem. Lots of tutorial and examples are available to solve the problem Read full review Flexibility in data recording, from the app, as well as in handling them. Allowing you to view reports quickly and effectively. Easy to generate dynamic graphics according to our needs. It is very easy to use, intuitive, so it does not generate costs in the learning process compared to the tool with collaborators Read full review Cons On the few occasions when I have used it to deal with problems of optimization of relatively large parameters (with a large number of restrictions and decision variables), the program has been slower, not substantially but slower, than programs such as the WinQsb, even when the latter runs on 32-bit machines and not 64. That has caught my attention, even though it is not a real problem for the uses I give to the program. Given my partial function as a university professor, it has been much more effective and practical to use other software, due to the limited options that the educational license associated with the software has. Read full review Scalability is RAM limited, all data is associative and in-memory so server's RAM is directly proportional to performance Limitation on advanced analytics capabilities in the form of R integration to perform complex statistical and analytical calculations Can have more intuitive interface Read full review Likelihood to Renew Qlik Sense is a constantly improving it's software and working with its' users to make it better. They are great at keeping their users informed of progress and care about delivering a quality product
Read full review Usability 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

Read full review Alternatives Considered We believe in building the models in Excel. A limitation with Excel is that Excel Solver can not take more than 200 decision variables with multiple constraints. It is cheap in terms of license and maintenance fees against other softwares which are available in the market.
Read full review The customization of the platform opens up plenty of other options depending on the use cases. The API layer is incredibly rich and makes integration of Qlik based visualization into web pages a simple and effective pattern. It's been very easy to use with a great community made up of professionals. Qlik Sense has introduces artificial Intelligence into my data visualization and reporting activity.
Read full review Return on Investment - It has allowed finding ways to optimize (minimizing costs or times) the field processes involved in various projects. It has even allowed, in specific cases where it was used for that purpose, to optimize the allocation of resources (people) to work in different jobs that present weekly variations of the activity that these people must perform. It has allowed the sensitivity analysis of projects to changes in the decision variables related to them, which, and in very dynamic and changing environments, resulted in substantial decreases in money losses. Read full review Once an app is published and running good, we can quickly see the time we save to analyze data. It's hard sometimes to realize the money we save by using this system. People start understanding the power of data and asking more questions. Read full review ScreenShots
