Likelihood to Recommend Highly recommended, it is beneficial for obtaining information from different sources and an excellent boost for prospecting. Its user interface is user-friendly, and all its functions are easy to understand and implement. Gazelle's team is fantastic, the adaptation process is fast, and their staff accompanies the users during the process; the training is excellent, and the customer service afterward.
Read full review Sales data validations have helped manage our justifications in the past, especially with regard to new product development and new business introduction. It has also been helpful in identifying trends with business impact and direction specific to quarter and monthly sales from ERP data as well as decisions to purchase equipment of staffing based on run rates and product demand.
One thing that can get out of hand is data output - if you aren't careful in your query, you may be overloaded with data dumps and drown in the amount of info you have to filter through. This is a user caution, not a comment on the software itself.
Read full review Pros Offers a big database of potential clients. Targets by region and certain demographics like geography. Makes prospecting more efficient by including contact information. Read full review QlikView has a simple, relational data model that's REALLY fast. Filtering and changing data is dead simple results are almost immediately available. The free version of Qlikview is almost completely featured, so you roll a pro-level product out to an entire department for really cheap. QlikView is really flexible--if you can imagine it, you can build it. Read full review Cons Some industry data is not up to date. However, there have been a few outdated data that we have come across. Read full review We found that QlikView can be a bit slow in supporting some forms of encryption. It is web-based and we needed to upgrade all of our server to not support the older SSL and TLS 1 protocols, only support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. However, QlikView could not run with TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. We had to wait over six months to get a version that would handle the newer TLS versions. There are so many options with QlikView that you can get lost when developing a visualization. There are still items I have not yet figured out, such as labeling a graph with the name of a selected detail item. QlikView works by pulling the data it is going to use for visualization into its database. I am a security reviewer and I need to make certain that PII and PHI is not pulled by QlikView for a visualization, otherwise this could become a reportable indecent. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Ease of use, ability to load from pretty much any data source. today I created an application that loaded time sheets from excel that are not in a table format. With Qlik's "enable transformation steps" I was able to automate loads of multiple spreadsheets and multiple tabs easily. Could not do that with any other tool.
Read full review Usability QlikView is very easy to implement. The installation is very straight forward. QlikView has several different data connectors that can connect to different data sources very smoothly. The user interface to build the reports is very easy to understand. This helps to have a smaller learning curve. Something very helpful is that QlikView is a browser application for the end users. So, you don't need to install any applications on the user's computer.

Read full review Support Rating My experience with the Qlik support team has been somewhat limited, but every interaction I have had with them has been very professional and I received a response quickly. Typically if there is a technical issue, our IT team will follow up. My inquiries are specific to product functionality, and Qlik has been very helpful in clarifying any questions I might have.
Read full review In-Person Training My team attended, but I cannot myself rate, but I think it was good as they've successfully launched a training program at our company themselves for users. It was 3-4 day training.
Read full review Online Training Training was as expected. The demo environments tend to be more fully featured that our own environment, but the training was clear and well delivered.
Read full review Implementation Rating "Implementation" can mean a few things... so I'm not sure that this is the answer you want.... but here it goes: To me, implementation means: "Is the user interface intuitive and can I produce meaningful reports with ease?" On that score, I'd say YES. The amount of training required was minimal and the results were powerful. The desktop implementation is a simple, "blank" interface just waiting for your creativity. The pre-populated templates give you a reasonable start to any project -- and a good set of objects to "play around with" if you're just getting started. Finally, note that the "implementation" I used was baked into QuickBooks 2016 Enterprise -- called "Advanced Reporting"..... That integration makes it ultra useful and simple.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We only looked at Zoom info, but Gazelle.ai stood out from a user and experience standpoint. The international database is a game-changer and is much more than just a spreadsheet of companies. Being able to visualize the locations of businesses makes prospecting so much easier and makes thinking that much simpler.
Read full review The only other vendor product that I have worked with that provides a similar experience to Qlikview is
Tableau . I would recommend
Tableau if your use case is to build a fixed dashboard. You can share reports for free without needing to buy additional licenses. I would recommend Qlikview if your users are looking for a more interactive experience. They can create new objects to represent the data which can't be accomplished as easily in
Tableau Read full review Return on Investment It is an excellent tool that, through business intelligence, helps bring new prospects interested in our products and services, convert customers, and achieve a more successful business, which has been convenient because the return on investment has been fast and still helps us generate more profits.
