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.

Confusing product for a nonprofit that needs dedicated technical expertise to fully utilize
Qlik sense is being used for our organization to capture demographic data for clients served across all programs, as well as provide outcome data, fidelity data (adherence to our program model), and tracking of strategic initiatives for clients within our flagship program. Additionally, Key Apps and sheets that we use internally have been "templatized" and are being offered as part of the "deep evaluation and learning experience" we provide to other organizations who adopt our flagship model (within their own organization in different states) as part of our Network Affiliate model.

The analyst in each of us
The system is used throughout the organization. The main goal is to visualize business processes in the mode as close as possible to real-time. With Qlik Sense, our company explores data in various ways and draws its own conclusions based on this data. In addition, we have built a dashboard, KPI, and a system of grades.
We're using Qlik Sense to analyze sales and customer demographics data. It's being used by the CEO and the marketing part of the organization. We operate in multiple countries, with several products in different currencies. Qlik Sense allows us to look at all the data in a single platform, which is hugely useful for us. I do have doubts as to the scalability of the cloud product as we're starting to hit the limits of data file sizes we upload (and we don't want to use the product directly against our MySQL DB for security reasons).
June 01, 2020
From report creation to self service
Qlik Sense is used by our finance controllers to quickly get real-time data to analyse, by our business to follow up their KPI and by finance to consolidate and assist in monthly closing. The self-service possibilities of the tool allow business and commercials to do a first part of their analyses themselves, leaving the time to our controllers to do more in-depth and detailed analyses and add value instead of only create reports. The dashboard our business leaders have provide them their first view on their business in real time. The possibility to drill down and the use of the filters allow analyses of margins per client/type of business.

Qlik Sense Enterprise from a user's perspective
Currently Qlik Sense is being used by selected users within the whole organisation.
The current usage is quite limited as it does not connect to our existing systems yet, especially for the finance domain where we have to upload our own Excel files. Understand that this is not a Qlik Sense problem, but a data warehouse problem which the organisation is currently trying to resolve as well. Once the data warehouse is set up and running, Qlik Sense will be more widely and actively used.

A good package for quick and easy reporting
Qlik Sense is used throughout the organization, including our Purchase Department, Finance Department, Warehouse Team, Sales Department, and upper senior management.

A stellar BI platform
Qlik is the de facto BI tool in my market leading firm. We currently have 6K+ developers and over 10K+ users consuming applications. Qlik has been critical to my success with the ease of integrating and connecting data across multiple tools and source systems in a cohesive manner.
May 20, 2020
Qlik Sense works Magic!
Using it for computing large amounts of data with the vizualisation and easy implementations. Qlik Sense has worked a lot in these. Easy to use and ease of availability on different platforms makes it very user friendly. We use Qlik Sense for our day-to-day reporting of machinery and equipment sales, purchases, stock details and historical data computation.

The original BI solution and still the best.
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.
We use it to track the consumption of our published marketing materials. Since we support many industry verticals, tracking and attribution are important to justify our expenditure in these areas, and ultimately, see where the materials contribute towards opportunities and sales leads. We rank the usage statistics when we try to allocate our content development budgets based on the level and method of consumption.
Track data to see trends and make adjustments as well as identify events that can become hidden without looking at the data in a larger population. Build different reports to set up cost justification. Monitor process control data over time in order to identify potential quality issues that may need to be corrected.
We are using it to visualize our sales data. We use a very old system so it is hard for us to gauge what is happening sales-wise (trends, what items sell, what customers grow, don't grow, etc.), so we use the product for that. We also use the software to do conference calls with our reps, we show them what is working, what is not, and let them get data about all of their customers before they visit them and even send them PDF reports.

Solid
I am currently using Qlik as an analytics tool for cost modeling data, as does the rest of my team, comparing the cost of specific components from different sources, categories, vendors. This data is then analyzed to see where our largest cost savings may be obtained from and how we can get there.
We utilize Qlik Sense as our principal BI solution for the entire company. We serve visualizations of our data to users in every department for any reason they might need automatically updating data resources. We purchased Qlik due to its ability to load relatively large volumes of data for analysis by the end user through the in-app selections tool, a job at which it performs fairly well.
April 23, 2020
Easy to use "drag and drop" data analysis
It is being used across the whole organization to store and analyze data related to insurance policies. Qlik is being used for both internal measures (business metrics - revenue, client growth, etc.) and to offer client reports.
Our agency recently implemented Qlik Sense and is trying to move in the direction of business intelligence to supplement more traditional reporting practices. We plan on using Qlik Sense to provide dashboards to the general public on key issues and track internal data issues. One of the key reasons we are implementing this tool is to reduce workload on repetitive reports.

A power user with 2 years experience
It's used across the whole department (NSW Health). My department just uses Qlik Sense as our main BI tool at the moment while the other departments use other tools as well like Power BI or Tableau. Our department uses Qlik Sense for our KPI monthly reports replacing our static PDF reports.
