Chartio (discontinued) vs Qlik Sense

• Direct linkage to our databases. Abstracts away the visualization layer so we can focus on the data and the queries.
• Host of graphs and tools that permits all types of data visualizations.
• Haven't quite used this yet, but there is a new embedding feature that will be very helpful so that we can embed the charts into a company central dash.

• 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.

• There is not a last full month date range option. You can still get the range that you need, but the dashboards will have to be manually updated to exclusively display one whole month.
• When building a chart, the area which displays your tables and fields is finite. You can't adjust the size to make it easier to see. They do allow a mouse-over to see the entire name of your table/field, but I would prefer to adjust the width.
• Once you modify a query in the Custom Query tab, there doesn't seem to be a way to go back to using the U.I.

• The system by which the various streams and apps is very rigid; they need to introduce the ability to move things around, add sub-folders, etc. It gets cluttered very quickly when you have a lot of apps.
• There are often seemingly basic functionality on charts and tables etc. that just can't be done; an example would be having multiple measures on a chart with multiple dimensions. Right now you can only have one measure if you have more than one dimension. There are lots of other examples like this..
• Sometimes basic things are very inflexible and needlessly complicated; an example being changing the colors of a dimension in a chart. Right now you either have to use the color scheme the system sets, or write a formula to define the color explicitly for every dimension value. There should be some middle ground where you can have them apply a color scheme, then chose to edit the scheme they apply visually.
• One big limitation is using custom measures and dimensions within other measures and dimensions. The ability create a custom (master) dimension is great, but you can only use that as an explicit field, you can't reference that master dimension in a formula anywhere.

• Qlik has allowed me to highlight areas in expense reporting that need correction. This information is shared with managers to take corrective action with their direct reports to improve accuracy and completeness in expenses.
• Using Qlik to correct behavior in expense reporting has save time in fixing errors in those expense reports that need remediation by reducing the number of reports that need to be addressed.
• The risk of fines and reputational harm that could result in inaccurate federal disclosures is reduced through using the tool to identify areas where employees need additional training with expense reporting.
