What is Qlik Sense?

Qlik Sense is a business intelligence (BI) and visual analytics platform that supports a range of analytic use cases. Built on Qlik’s Associative Engine, it supports a full range of users and use-cases across the life-cycle from data to insight – with self-service analytics, interactive dashboards, conversational analytics, custom and embedded analytics, mobile analytics, and reporting. The solution comes in three different editions - Qlik Sense Enterprise, Business, and Team. Qlik Sense can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises.

The Qlik Sense analytics platforms aims to empower everyone in organizations to make data-driven decisions. People of all skill levels get analytical power, with associative exploration and search, AI-powered insight suggestions, AI-accelerated creation and data prep, advanced analytics integration, and natural-language, conversational interaction. They can share and communicate the insights they discover and get answers anywhere they work – with interactive and secure online and offline mobility. And for the enterprise, users get a platform with open and standard APIs for customization and extension, data integration and connectivity, centralized management and governance, and a Kubernetes based SaaS / multi-cloud architecture driving scalability across combinations of on-premise, private, and public cloud environments.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Across the organization in different departments like IT, Sales, Tech support, Professional services, finance and more.
Pros
  • Easy to use: As compared to most of other BI tools we found Qlik to be the most easy to learn. Our users hi from basic user to building advanced apps in very short span.
  • Agile: with the current pace the business world is changing and moving we needed to be very agile. Qlik is very agile to work with.
  • Performance: being in memory tool Qlik sense performance is at par with our business expectations. The data loads are very fast using the native connectors as well
Cons
  • Report delivery: Printing is offered as a solution which is not user friendly and needs a lot of improvement.
  • Extensions: need a certified extension process so that we can trust them before bringing into our Qlik environment
  • Way to make a data model using 2 apps. Rather than creating a 3rd app, we should have a way to connect 2 apps
Likelihood to Recommend
All the analytical needs can be solved by Qlik Sense. Operational reporting on live data is not something Qlick Sense does very well

Qlik Sense drives business decisions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our whole company uses Qlik Sense. We are a very data-driven company, and Qlik Sense gives us a great tool to look at data and visualize and analyze data in different ways. An example is Sales where we drill down on Product and Color level to see what Brand and Products perform during each season.
Pros
  • Data visualization.
  • Access to aggregated data.
Cons
  • Version handling of scripts.
  • Integrations to 3rd party systems in and out.
Likelihood to Recommend
Qlik Sense is very good when businesses need to get lots of data for various sources and to quickly adjust the data presented. It can also act as an in-time analyzer for quick Proof of concept studies. When we have business teams working in dedicated applications, then it's better to have reporting directing in that application, so users don't need to open a second app(Qlik), instead, they use only 1 app.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It's being utilized across all operations teams at the organization to better understand productivity, plan, and forecast for work. We have a total of 27 end-users and 2 developers. That includes senior management, who utilizes Qlik to get a clean and complete view of work performed in as little or as much detail as is needed.
Pros
  • Viewing aggregated performance data at whichever levels are needed.
  • Aggregating data from disparate sources for utilizing 3rd party tools and application data.
  • Agile, what-if reporting for all users, at every level.
Cons
  • Visualizations are very limited, and while an open infrastructure is great and allows for better opportunities to use new visualizations, the quality varies greatly and creators don't tend to support free tools for very long.
Likelihood to Recommend
Qlik has been incredibly agile and capable for our entire company. We've engaged with recruiting to bring in data from their pre-interview screenings and tests, included performance data for employees who are hired, and gathered full profiles from our TEM in order to determine where we were finding our best candidates, develop KPIs, and build a framework for rebuilding our company's go-to-market strategy for recruiting. The ability to determine whether it was successful or not was a huge win for Qlik; the recruiting efforts have yielded better results, partly due to what they were able to learn about their talent pool. Qlik was a huge part of that effort.

The original BI solution and still the best.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Qlik supports our organisation being data led and ultimately ensures our patients get the best care. We have a large suite of Qlik apps (both View & Sense) being used across the organisation from our ED dept, Surgical Theatres, OP Clinics, Inpatient Wards all the way to the Board Room, these apps consolidate vast amounts of data but presents it in a visual & easy to understand manner so it's quick for our clinicians to consume and make decisions on. We are also in the process of rolling out Qlik Sense which is more aimed at people wanting to explore their data in more depth than ever before.
Pros
  • Quick to learn & easy to use.
  • Automatically renders for the particular device, therefore works great on both desktop and mobile devices.
  • Has Qlik's powerful cognitive engine that helps highlight relationships it data.
  • It's consistent, from its underlying technology, code, standards, Qlik maintains a level of consistency unlike other vendors that frequently chop and change D&A products.
Cons
  • Storyboard is sometimes poor a rendering content, particularly 3rd party extensions.
  • Would be good to see the Qlik Value Added products & more extensions available in the Qlik Cloud.
Likelihood to Recommend
Qlik is great for anyone interested in data, whether that's producing apps or consuming/analysing data. There are occasions where it may still be quicker to do things with spreadsheets but those occasions are reducing as Qlik becomes quicker and easier to use, unfortunately taking away Qlik Sense Desktop (or making it time-limited) will have a detrimental impact on people playing and learning Qlik Sense.
