Best BI for us
It's used by one division and some other divisions use it in its Desktop version.
Normally we have a lot of databases coming from different CRM tools, mixed with output from SAP and other tools, so we needed a way to consolidate fields and information without modifying the original sources. Qlik Sense made this possible.
The server version helps to have the reports ready at available at any time, while the desktop version allows us to work offline, avoid user "overload" of the server version and it is always faster to get new features of the product updates with Desktop.
We like the ease of use for beginners but also the powerful tools for advanced users or report creators. Other tools were more expensive or not so easy to use.
August 07, 2019
Qlik works amazingly well for us, but we realize that we're not harnessing its full capabilities.
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.

Quick Qlik Review
We use the Qlik Sense app across the organization at Air Products. From sales, operations, procurement, finance, business management, we have created a lot of different apps to address various needs. Whether it is revenue-related data (sales, price, volume), or costs/spend data, or other metrics that are of use from a distribution standpoint (miles, number of deliveries, etc.).
August 02, 2019
User-friendly, data driven insights
Qlik Sense is being utilised as a data analytics and insights tool across the organisation. It is aimed at making data more accessible to users who are generally not used to querying data in traditional data analysis tools such as SQL and/or SAS. The self service capability allows users to be data driven and use data to support their hypothesis.

My Qlik Sense Review
Qlik is providing visibility of operational trends and exceptions to mid-level and upper management across the organization. For us, Qlik solves the problem of seeing our complex and voluminous data efficiently.
July 20, 2019
Analytical speed in retail sales monitoring
As a grocery retailer, Qlik Sense is being used by the top management and purchases department to monitor sales. It allows us to spot weaknesses and opportunities per store in order to take action. In the next 6 months, we plan to use it to also monitor stocks and profitability as well.

Click with Qlik

We have developed solutions using Qlik that help pharma companies market & launch their drugs, primarily helping them better understand the market, analyze the sales data, manage Salesforce and develop KPIs for executives.

Qlik's associative engine is the key differentiator
All employees throughout our organization use Qlik Sense as the primary tool to analyze and improve the performance of our online advertising products and to follow company KPIs. It has certainly changed the way we can react to things and made the company more data-driven.
June 27, 2019
A very effective tool if aimed at the right users
Qliksense is being used by non-technical or people with limited technical backgrounds within our organization to produce data and analysis to enable performance management of our supply chain. The main reason we adopted Qlik is that it allowed us to take data from several of our legacy systems, Qliksense allows non-technical staff to produce data visualization with limited support from technical staff.
June 27, 2019
Quite easily the best solution to our BI needs
We use Qlik Sense across all four worldwide locations in our organization. Our objective was to deliver a self-service business analytics solution that would be robust, flexible in connecting with a wide range of source systems, responsive across desktops, tablets, and phones and easy to manage from any location. We are happy with the outcome and are looking to scale this to all major functions and to act as a single source of consumption of all data and analytics.

We are using QlikView nowadays in almost all our departments (Sales, Finance, Warehouse, Planning, IT, Management) for dashboarding, KPI's and other (scheduled) reports, but we are looking after Qlik Sense to find out if/when we go from QlikView to Qlik Sense. We are very satisfied with QlikView. We started to look at Qlik Sense because of the ability to use maps, scalability (desktop/tablet) and the self-service possibilities for our employees.

Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is used by our organization at an enterprise level. We are driving digital literacy throughout the organization and want to automate most of the processes. For example, when it comes to creating reports, we used to use Excel and would spend lots of time on it and similar products every month. To overcome this, we are using tools like Qlik Sense to automate the process of creating reports. We are also using Qlik Sense features like in-memory capability, associative data modeling, and others to create new dashboards and reports.

Qlik Sense in Real Estate
Qlik Sense is currently in one department covering 1400 users. We use it as an application in conjunction with the Klikins extension and for business insight and reporting.
We use Qlik Sense to evaluate retail product performance over time and against other similar products both within and external to our business. We extract the data from our ERP system with a direct connection and prefer to use it over other tools because it allows us to blend in data from other sources like Medallia.

Qlik making the most "Sense" above other competitors
Qlik Sense is being used across multiple departments in our organization as a reporting, analysis, and performance-tracking system. We have been able to drive up adoption with "quick win" dashboards that take the manual effort of creating Excel files at each month-end and allowing Qlik to be the source of historical information. We have dashboards that deal with our Branch outreach, Call Center, general Membership information, Robotic Process Automation results, and plenty more. In all, we have about 100 apps in production ranging from very small to very large size.
As we move forward in our journey, the goal is to have Qlik Sense be the preferred analysis tool in every meeting to be able to answer on-demand questions for planning, reviews, and general Q&A.

Make sense with Qlik Sense
QlikSense is used across different departments in our organization. The implementation uses the right data model based on how we want to consume our data. This alone solves data availability, quality and most of all, decreased dependency from the IT group.

We have been using Qlik products for the last 8+ years and started with QlikView. We recently were planning to move to QlikSense and had evaluated the product already. We are using Qlik products in operations, engineering, logistics, test and supply chain departments across the organization. We created a wide variety of dashboards and reports for business users to drive the operations, tool efficiency and program management efficiency.

Great product for certain industries
Qlik Sense was used in our Aviation Security Operations across scheduling, planning, finance, human resources, and operational departments. It allowed us to manipulate and visualize millions of rows of data quickly and simply, and to connect data tables from numerous sources.

Qlik Sense Review
We currently have a deployment to a small group of power users across the whole organization. It was implemented to help fulfill our model of self-service. Whereas our Qlikview serves as a means to facilitate dashboarding and KPIs. Qliksense was a means for self-service so users could generate their own decks
May 30, 2019
Qlik Sense as a system-wide solution
The intent is to use Qlik Sense across the whole organization. Currently, it has been launched within a few departments. We provide dashboards to make outcomes and processed data available to executives and managers in an effort to make one source of "truth". Historically, each department was responsible for pulling their own data and we would have multiple "answers" to the same question. In the future, we're hoping to provide drill-down levels with the data and to educate the user base to take advantage of it.

Clicking for Qlik
Qlik Sense is being used internally for data analysis and for external customers for data reporting and analysis. Dashboards have been created to highlight key performance indicators and areas of focus within the business areas. These dashboards have different access levels and details for different areas across the business to meet changing and differing business goals.

Self service BI with QlikSense
Qlik is designated as the enterprise dashboarding and mobile BI tool.
Qlik Sense is mainly used in my department where we use it to analyse and report on complex datasets. For example, where data from multiple line of business systems needs to be stitched together to see the full story. As a specific example, we have used QS to generate the Groups Gender Pay Gap reporting requirements.

Sense it!
We are about to take Qlik Sense into use step by step. We have now two implementation projects going on and we will move from QlikView to Qlik Sense in a few years. We will use Sense across the whole organization. I don't see any problems with that.

Qlik Sense Review
Qlik Sense is used across the broader WBA company. I was involved in the implementation and subsequent use in our New York office. The use case was to consolidate information from our third party distributor and internal finance solution (SAP) to enable a balanced scorecard for the management team and more detailed analysis for finance, supply and commercial functions. The first phase of the project utilised QlikView. Subsequent phases migrated to Qlik Sense.
