Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why.
I use Qlik Sense Desktop to monitor compliance with expense reporting policies. We use it in the Finance department to provide insight to managers and approvers in Concur as to how their direct reports are following expense policy. We also use the data to identify users who repeatedly violate the expense policy so we can correct behavior.
- Qlik is easy to set up to do basic visualizations
- The ability to share via e-mailed reports improves efficiency
- Support is always available
- Additional training
- Industry specific examples
- Nothing additional
We currently use a single data source. The underlying data comes in the form of Excel spreadsheets which are compiled through the manual review of expense reports in our expense reporting tool. The reviewer looks for specific policy violations and records them in a multi tab Excel workbook which Qlik consumes and creates easily read charts and graphs.
It is used across the organization by our Data team. Qlik Sense supports a range of use cases, including centrally deployed guided analytics apps and dashboards, custom and embedded analytics, and self-service visualization, all within a scalable, governed framework.
- 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.
- We have been using Qlik Sense for the last four years encompassing the whole Qlik suite. Going forward, we would like to see more advanced analytic offering from Qlik and also the ability to customize the tools that would fit our needs (e.g., Streams, Substreams, etc.)
Yes. We have been able to pull data from multiple applications to provide a combined view of the Reports to users.

Qlik Sense gave me easy, fast, reliable, safe and convenient access to our large data warehouse. We currently use it to audit our data and check for anomalies or missing information. We also use it to create graphic reports for our clients, this has put us ahead of our competitors and we are looking to optimise this further. Future plans would be to implement it within other areas of our business to help our managers have an easy one page view of how their team is performing, inclusive of call times etc.
- It is extremely fast, data that used to crash my computer when working in Excel is now at my fingertips in a second!
- It is extremely intuitive to use and user friendly. I self-taught how to use Qlik and have gone on to teach colleagues all of whom have picked it up extremely quickly - some of which have no data background at all.
- It's suggestions are brilliant, when putting data together it will suggest a table that it believes may be the best way to display that data - and pretty much always, it's right.
- I love the 'buckets' feature but when we started loading more data into the system, this feature didn't work anymore, the loading times were immense to even get into the page that displayed the bucket creator.
Previously it could take 2-3 days for me to run and create a report for one of our clients. With Qlik this process now takes 5 minutes. This means we can create more reports, more frequently and keep our clients up to date on their performance.
We use QlikSense on all of our Purchasing reports and KPI reporting dashboards. Users can see all Purchasing data from one model. At the moment, all departments are using QlikSense platform. We began our QlikSense journey in 2018 and we were one of the first departments that switch to the QlikSense platform.
- Dashboard KPI reporting.
- Graphs with multiple dimensions.
- User friendly.
- Limitations in color selection on graphs is a pain.
- Graph dimension label font size can not be adjusted.
- Nprinting function on QlikSense is impossible to use. It is not user friendly.
Our Qlik project started primarily as a tool to make accounting and rental data available for everyone in the organization. Over time, it has evolved to be the main tool for managing our shopping centers. It now includes, for example, foot-fall, parking, sales per tenant, and customer surveys for end customers.
- Data presentation
- Easy to use
- Flexibility
- Even more functionality.
- Even quicker system.
We use this a lot. We are integrating new data sources all the time.

Qlik Sense is truly a very great tool every organization must have. It simplifies the day-to-day reporting tasks of technical staff at any company. The management is very happy and it is very easy to view reports on the fly. Qlik Sense honestly makes sense of the big data. Organizations and companies are happy to have one centralized reporting tool for all their internal and external applications, services, and support businesses.
It adds great value on ROI and is highly recommended to all types of companies from small to midsize to enterprise and organizations. As a senior ITSM engineer, I am happy that my reporting tasks have been minimized effectively. Management is happy to extract reports on their own; the dependency of systems or application admin is minimized for reporting tasks.
I love this beautiful tool is doing a great work and the reports are highly dynamic and automated.
- Reports are highly dynamic and automated
- Administrative efforts to extract report across different applications and platforms are minimized
- Qlik Sense is amazing tool for all types of reporting
After having Qlik Sense our organization has noticed the data collation is more presentable, and dynamic reporting on the fly reduced time and administrative efforts in generating reports of individual applications.

Used across the whole organisation especially with departments who are involved in sales and marketing.
In-depth analysis are often performed for departments who are required to come up with incremental enhancements to existing platforms and functions.
Templates and dashboard are created for regular reports as well as high level reporting for most of other casual users.
In-depth analysis are often performed for departments who are required to come up with incremental enhancements to existing platforms and functions.
Templates and dashboard are created for regular reports as well as high level reporting for most of other casual users.
- Ease of use; easy for beginners to pick up.
- Many visualizations are included in the pack which provide options for users.
- Great community for resources sharing.
- Expression coding easy to pick up.
- While most commonly expressions are easy to pick up, there are certain expressions that can be certainly included in the library like 'grouping' of dimensions.
- Enable more colour schemes for charts.
- Percentage calculations.
- Enterprise data to be exported out in qvf files.
As there are data sources from various backends and hosts coming into Qlik Sense, it enables the users to quickly integrate, create relationships and make sense of all the different numbers. Again, as mentioned earlier, it saved loads of time trying to acquire the data from various sources and thereafter cleaning up the data before it can be used for dashboard creation.

We use Qlik Sense in the purchasing department to see trends and identify outliers. It's very quick to find out which suppliers or products that need to update costs. We have created interactive dashboards where it's simple to filter to your individual needs either by suppliers, product, currency, country or buying region.
- We were able to see which suppliers that had negative cost trend while the material and industry had a positive trend.
- It's very simple to deal with the long tail of suppliers with few products and low spend.
- We can easily take care of the suppliers that were still invoicing in USD and change them to CNY by a simple filter.
- I lack the functionality and customization of Tableau.
- Sometimes we need to use Excel to do some things that Qlik Sense is unable to do.
- I wish we could resize the graphs to fit all kinds of resolutions, graphs can look good on high res and then useless on low res monitors.
We mainly use Excel data so we do not have much experience with other data.

Qlik sense is used by our organization as a replacement of SAP BO. It is mainly used for user reporting in addition to certain amount of data visualization for users.
- Data visualization
- Data model creation
- License management
- Pperformance for parallel report generation
- Non-interactive report creation
- Email is separated into a complete new product called nprint, it would be nice to have email as a built-in feature of Qlik Sense
Our organization has not benefitted from multiple source aggregation since most of our reporting source data comes from a single ERP instance.

We use QlikSense as a way to summarise data from multiple databases into a dashboard that is easy to use. Prior to the implementation of QlikSense, staff would be constantly asked to generate reports, now we create dashboards, and send the end-user to the dashboards. This has drastically increased the productivity of staff and end-users.
- Easy to create dashboards
- Integrate with a variety of different database
- Extremely powerful
- Develop visually appealing dashboards
- Steep learning curve
- Challenge with running out of licenses
Through the server, we are able to offload the data from our main database server, to the Qlik Server, and have the data updated on a regular basis. This has decreased the main load on the server and has benefited us greatly
Used throughout the business to analyse data, produce management reports and help make business decisions.
- Reporting on KPIs.
- Linking to any area of our SQL databases.
- Very quick to load data and export.
- Allow users to refresh data when required.
It's been used across the whole organization. It helps us to visualize a big chunk of data that can not be categorized and visualized manually. With the help of this digital tool, it became easier to see the general macro look, as well as make deep dive into details.
- Interactive, and responsive
- Easy navigation
- Intuitive
- Refresh time is long.
- Faster page results.
Even though we are in the early stages, there are several attempts already to combine multiple data sources. Certainly, the type and number of sources will increase in the very near future.
November 06, 2020
Qlik Sense is used in a technical department where we carry out maintenance on rail vehicles.
- Realized results
- Overviews over time
- Possibilities of different dashboards
- I sometimes convert data to exel, then numbers are often displayed as text; it would be nice if that is no longer necessary
- Possibilities to visualize data in even more ways
Our data analyst merges the data from multiple systems so that we, as an end user, have everything in one place.
[Qlik Sense is used] across the whole organization. Ability to identify areas of concern as it relates to workflow efficiency.
- On Demand Printing
- Ease of use
- Performance is exceptional
- Ability to export formatted tables into excel
As a developer I can attest to the ease of combining data from multiple data sources. Our organization has definitely benefited from this by having the ability to access the data where it exist (i.e spreadsheets, websites).
February 01, 2021
We are using Qlik [Sense] for quite a while, mainly to analyze data from multiple sources with focus on presenting the main indicators to the business users and also to the management. Also we are using Qlik [Sense] to discover hidden patterns within our claims data, patterns that can lead to fraud prevention. It is our main dashboard tool and we are very pleased about how fast it was received by the people involved in monitoring the KPIs and the ones which are dedicated to prepare regular reports for different authorities and needs.
- Data preparation
- Data presentation
- Easy and fast chart design
- Fast to learn
- Intuitive interface
- Storyboards can be improved to include more predefined shapes
- I would like to have the possibility to export the storborads in ppt format
- Web api connectors
The way that Qlik [Sense] allows to join to related tables is unique. It is fast and intuitive. One of the most appreciated feature is the quick summary of data when making relations between multiple entities. The auto suggested connections is also very accurate and helped us to connect faster and precise tens of columns from multiple tables.

It is used across the organization governed by IT. Qlik is a valuable tool that helps business gain insights across various domains from marketing to operations. It is empowering business users to get relevant timely information. Qlik has helped move the organization from legacy reports that would run once a week or month to more timely updates as needed.
- Associative engine that makes connected data and filtering easy to achieve.
- Strong enterprise focus and product suite that can expand capabilities to cover the entire data spectrum.
- Good extensibility via API and community - ability to enhance through third party extensions.
- The support team and service tier could use improvement.
- API for exposing raw data is tricky.
Yes - We were able to blend data from multiple systems to deliver solutions like a customer 360.

It is used internationally and primarily it is used for data visualization. The main functionality I like to use is to easily apply filters and drill down. I use this platform for advanced analytics and for partner meetings. I am now implementing it to manage our innovation portfolio in terms of general overviews, data driven insights and portfolio management.
- Drill down.
- Data visualization.
- Intuitive for user.
- Non intuitive for developer.
- Steep learning curve (developer).
- Issues loading zip codes for map.
We have but not to the fullest extent that we would envision. The data visualization is only as good as the data that is fed into it. Garbage in garbage out. So we want to use it on a global scale, however the data reconciliation makes that difficult. That means the best use we have found so far is on local scopes.
Qlik Sense itself is quite easy to implement to support BI activities in the organization. We develop Qlik apps in a mixed-mode. Something we do in-house, but for bigger tasks we ask a partner to help. Each app covers its own company area or process to support managers and their teams. It's quite important to think about actual needs when you decide to develop a new one. Deep analysis of current information and forecasting almost always provides more value to the company than analyzing historical data. Try to focus on that and Qlik should help.
- Easy to start
- Easy to use
- Fast and agile
- Experts are needed to implement and use it in a right way.
- Less benefits without trained users.

Qlik is used across the organization as a data visualization tool. It enables users to focus on analyzing the data and easily view trends and Qlik has made easier it so much easier to do so. As Qlik is easy to use, it isn't daunting for end-users to utilize the tool.
- Offers a plethora of visualizations that users can choose from depending on their data.
- Qlik continuous classroom offers extremely helpful training videos.
- Easy to use and navigate through.
- Script editor can be quite finicky to use at times and Qlik isn't great at highlighting the issue.
- A wider array of colors for visualizations would be welcomed.
- Training is extremely expensive in some areas.
Yes, the organization has benefitted from it for the reason stated above. As Qlik allows the combining of multiple data sources with great speed and accuracy, it means end users are able to view trends across those various data sources in one place. This takes away navigation for them across various data files to find an answer.
We are using Qlik Sense across our research and marketing departments to visualize and organize data.
- Creating visualizations.
- Summarizing data.
- Ease of business user.
- Programming visualizations needs many hours of training.
- Inability to use a custom color palette without purchasing a module.
- Sales people do not emphasize need to learn scripting.
Yes, we can combine our databases.
It is used for both production and finance analytics and visualization. It utilizes many databases - many are outdated. It has been a perfect replacement for Crystal reports and perfect for bringing data together from a dozen databases. It solves the many deficiencies found in our ERP system and allows us to operate without upgrading our ERP for a little longer.
- Helps decommission old databases by subsuming the data.
- Works with a wide variety of different types of DBs.
- Licensing maintenance can be time consuming.
- Learning curve is high.
- Requires more time from IT staff than expected.
We benefited with Qlik connecting to such a wide variety of databases. However, it has required a huge investment in a database engineer to modify and maintain our legacy databases for this Qlik project. We do see the value in the analytics and visualization Qlik offers.
Used across the whole organisation. Addresses many issues from productivity to just volume analysis. Being able to breakdown down by Ethnicity is key to the hospital overall view. e.g Can easily show Management the Utilisation of Hospital Theatres, broken down by specialty to the day/month/year.
- Slices and dices data through filtering to show outliers which may or may not be data anomalies.
- Exporting data cohort to excel to analyse data further.
- Fabulous ability to debug code through a number of ways. There is not one error that I haven't been able to narrow down to specifically where the issue lies when creating a new application.
- Sometimes the search function does not pick up all occurrences of the word entered.
- I have tried to narrow down when this happens and think it would clear itself if you shut down and come back in. Can be annoying.
- Need to design your script such that it beaks down sections in Apps to Steps within the build. Sometimes can take 30+ mins to re-run a step so Important to script such that you can work on something else within the App whilst re-loading.
- Would like to see something in the front end if possible to highlight the places where a measurement is used to ensure changing is is not going to break any part of App.
Significant outlay in time is required to create complex Apps using data from multiple sources, but the upshot is the ongoing monthly maintenance is removed once App up and running, with minimal maintenance to incorporate any business changes.
With the ability to utilise comments throughout App with a step by step approach, it should be able to be picked up by other Qlik Users to maintain should the need arise.

It's been used by multiple departments as it enables a variety of visualizations for dashboards since it supports free extensions. Dashboards provide a bird's eye view of the performance of different departments and the company's application utilization. Users have their filter selected saved/cached, thereby enabling a better user experience. Qlik supports complex calculations on the fly although it takes a toll on performance.
- Associative engine for data modeling for linking fields.
- Set analysis.
- Variety of visuals and extensions.
- Performance
- Setting data alerts from dashboards
- Ease in setting up application
Yes, with the associative engine feature (which links similarly named fields automatically), it has been very easy to model and apply filters in UI across sheets.

Purchased to use as an ad-hoc reporting tool for C-Suite executive staff. We were paying for an analytical tool to give us insight into our volumes as well as our competitors within our locale. Microsoft's reporting tool did not provide a dynamic tool for these analytics, so we felt we could leverage the representation of this data with Qlik.
- Dynamic rendering on filters.
- Poor query performance/latency issues.
- Automated refresh of the dataset.
The product is under utilized.
It is used in many departments including mine (accounting and finance). I usually use it to show comparisons between budget and actual purchase amounts. Also, our factory units benefit from the visuals each day, because it is easy to read for everyone. For instance, it is used for production line details.
- Its online platform is easy to reach.
- Has nice colors and many options for number formatting.
- Manipulation is easy if you know which formula to use.
- Formulas are hard to find sometimes.
- Exporting the data is nice but it exports as shown, not the whole data.
Yes, my colleagues use this option. They bring data from different sources and with the matching techniques, they can create reports.
I generally use one or two sources but I have friends who use more than 2 sources for their data, and this is really helpful.
