Chose QlikView
QlikView seems somewhat legacy compared to Microsoft Power BI, with more options to customize and format dashboards with a more enhanced look and feel. QlikView was already widely used in our organization before I came on board and was widely adopted as the single source of …
QlikView, Tableau, and Sisense are all very good BI tools for analysis and reporting. Tableau was better at intuitively matching fields of disparate data and more visually appealing, but I think QlikView is faster. Tableau was also easier for someone to use to build and …
Each tool has their own pros and cons; QlikView works well for our needs at this time.

Chose QlikView
I think it all comes down to personal preference and integration compatibility with the existing systems in the organization. However, I would argue that Qlik and PowerBI are the top-tier available solutions due to robust features and capabilities, and I would put solutions …
With QlikView and Qlik Sense the users can answer their own questions more interactively. They also can build their own visualizations without waiting [for] someone from IT to create a new report. The users can navigate through the data finding out relevant information. Through …
We have not necessarily used any direct competitors to QlikView, but we have used other analysis and reporting software that has worked better for us because of the type of data that we are analyzing. There are also cheaper options out there that are definitely better.
When integrating the tool years ago, we looked at other options including the out of the box reporting features from our current ERP software, The user interface and report-ability was very difficult to use and scale across may different business models in our group. We also …
There are more than 1700 partners in the world that could implement a QlikView solution, and these associates tend to have a long and close relationship with the customer, and ultimately lead up to understanding the customer's needs at 100%. Also, the software is very scalable …
MS Power BI and other BI tools have similar functions to QlikView and some of them also have much cheaper price. However, the strength of QlikView is that it is much easier to use and to learn. If you need to train a new person to learn the tool, it costs around 1-2 days.
QlikView has its own data warehouse, which is the most important reason why would I choose QlikView over any other tools. Apart from that, the feature options are good for the ones who know the tool well but created a steeper learning curve in the beginning. Once you went …
Qlik was less intuitive than Paxata, but less expensive than either microstrategy or PowerBI. Qlik has enough breadth to accommodate most use cases without breaking the bank.
It is inexpensive and cost prohibited software. Has alot of canned reports that you would need and doesn't request much development work. Widely adopted as an industry leader and works well with many of the top data source applications. Very easy to use and intuitive in the …
We use it as a part of our Office 365 tool. With that tool, we do not have an option to download the reports and send them to customers, but with Qlikview we can.
QlikView is very similar to Tableau. However, I believe it is a cheaper solution, and that is why our company has chosen QlikView. It has been able to handle large, large amounts of data sets, and has been pretty agile for our business needs.
My use of Cognos was as an embedded BI tool inside of a cloud HCM. At the time, you could not marry up data from other external sources with that version. QlikView makes it easy to connect data from multiple sources. As a BI tool I do prefer the Cognos set up, but that's more …

QlikView was already chosen and implemented before I started [to work here], but it is very easy to learn (for me) and I started to solve problems within a day or two.

Chose QlikView
While I may have to export the data, I was doing so anyway to get it into excel to drive better visualizations of the data. When I discovered PowerBI and all it had available I no longer had a need for QlikView.
The first thing we liked about QlikView was the price. For a small amount per user, I can have a very useful software to manage the whole data set our company uses. The Tableau Desktop has very high pricing for the software, and for just one user, not the whole organization. …
Qlikview is more outdated compared to Qlik Sense. Qlik Sense puts more of the power onto the users to create their own dashboards while QlikView tends to be managed by BI teams.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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
You can use the free desktop version to do a lot of reporting and analysis work more quickly so the ROI is huge
QlikView is great at finding outliers such as data entry errors
QlikView is great at helping you quickly discover new insights about your business that can prompt you to take action that can immediately affect your cash flow.
