Qlik Review
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.

Tanoviç QlikSense Review
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.

Great for the End User, Steep Developer Learning Curve
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.

Qlik into the future
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.

March 02, 2021
Dynamic, Easy to Use, Time Saving
Qlik Sense has effectively made it simple for us to create automated dashboards. With a few clicks, it is now possible to get numerous views of the same data set. The UI is very user friendly and easy to use. Dynamic customization of the dashboard is the best feature of Qlik Sense.
March 01, 2021
Less analytical review
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 It utilizes many databases - many are outdated.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.

Qlik Sense the Next Generation Reporting
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.

Qlik Sense enterprise honest reviews
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.

Verified User
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.

With Qlik every action is enhanced for you!
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.

A completely different view
Qlik Sense was first used in phases in a few departments. After a successful usability and good feedback from the users, it was expanded to more and more departments. Now, it is used across the whole organization. View and analysis depending on the area. It has given clarity and easy to access to the company resources.

Qlik Sense - Makes sense
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.

A powerful database mind that is easy and intuitive to use
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.

Qlik Sense _ smart help
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.

Great for a lot of Use Cases
We are using Qlik Sense to provide insight to what is happening with insurance claims. We have 2-4 million claims a day and run reporting in batches every morning.
We also use it as an ETL tool but are attempting to move away from that and get our users to perform their analysis in the apps.

My Qlik Sense Review
We are using Qlik Sense in the procurement and supplies department for monitoring of suppliers delivery punctuality. It is linked to our SAP database which would capture the information and date when the item arrives at the receiving end of the warehouse. With that, we can make comparisons in terms of performance between our suppliers. The dashboard is interactive and can be used by several users at the same time which is great.

Honest review of Qlik Sense
We are using Qlik Sense cloud solution. It is being used across the whole organization. It mainly use to evaluate primary health care program performance and monitoring purpose. Also the insight is used for department of health reporting as well. IT gather business needs and develop visualization and produce reports/dashboards to business users. Self-service was not used efficiently so all the needs will go through IT.
