Pros

Graphic controls are nice, more interactive (than in Qlikview).
Story telling is good (although it is not a "drag and drop" functionality). It took me 2 hours of "drag and drop with teeth screeching" to create a first story.
Qlik Sense uses the same scripting as QlikView, can consume the same QVD files as QlikView (compatibility is one way, certainly).
Rendering for multiple Mobile platforms is provided.

Alternatives Considered

Have used its still widely used (and loved) predecessor QlikView for many years before QlikSense appeared on the scene - identical coding makes porting from QlikView to QlikSense fairly easy if your application is not too complex as there are some differences that can cause issues. QlikView does rely on you getting a better handle on the coding side of things than the more intuitive drag-and-drop style of QlikSense and rivals.

Qlik Sense8.2

Based on 30 answers

For the Qlik Sense DESKTOP edition, sharing and collaborating is quite limited (after all it is free) - you need to manually send a file to your colleague to save in specific folder (cannot use net/cloud folder) and there are no access control capabilities. Those are available in the Enterprise version and no need to use file sharing (Enterprise version is installed on a server).

Data Integration

Qlik Sense8.8

Based on 31 answers

A great range of data sources and they keep adding more.
Very easy (using the wizard) to merge data from different sources and even add calculated fields.
A very strong scripting language to do even more advanced stuff that cannot be done with the wizard.

Return on Investment

Qlik Sense fills the gap between Excel's ad-hoc reporting and the traditional Qlik View scheduled type reporting. We have considered Qlik Sense Enterprise but feel that the desktop edition is good enough for our needs.
