Qlik Sense drives business decisions.
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.

Simple Data Democratization
Qlik Sense is the primary BI tool used across our Product, Marketing, and Client Experience teams. The core driver behind implementing the platform is to create centralized reporting and deliver business insights from separate databases.

Qlik review from an end-user’s perspective
Qlik is being used as a reporting tool for standard operations metrics. It is also being used as a reporting tool for customers to understand their throughput and overall expected profitability. These reports are then used for internal and external discussions for decision making and benchmarking. All of these are reports are generated internally; customers cannot pull their own information.

Great dashboard overview with extended slice and dice capabilities
Qlik Sense is used by both headquarters and subsidiaries to share common overviews of processes and metrics, such as a service backlog planning tool. We also use is as an integrated platform in our Salesforce solution so that salespeople can quickly compare pipeline to budget. The aim is to set up more Qlik Sense dashboards as integrated in Salesforce.

Qlik Sense review
We're using Qlik Sense company-wide for both operational and analytical needs. The cloud environment works really well, and they continue evolving the product with new features. They lack reporting capabilities but I know that they are working on that, so we'll see in the future.
September 23, 2021
With Qlik you get reports that makes Sense
We use Qlik Sense to provide cross-functional reporting from our sales pipeline in O365 Dynamics CRM, work orders from Jira Service Desk, and contract/invoicing data from the billing system. The data is divided into multiple dimensions representing different sales areas, products, and on-boarding phases. Qlik Sense's ability to combine data from various sources has proven to be literally invaluable to us.

Qlik: The tool for quick insights
It is being used across the whole company. I primarily use it to develop risk monitoring dashboards used to help identify and mitigate risks within our division. We also use it to track partner volume and performance. Another benefit provided our Relationship Managers the ability to rind potential opportunities for new partnerships.
Qlik Sense is currently being used just in my department (Customer Interactions). Its main purpose is to create and deliver dashboards with a high level of quality and reliability.

A surprisingly light, robust, flexible and scalable solution to all analytical and reporting needs
Qlik Sense is being used at our organization as a single self-service business intelligence and reporting solution across all our geographical locations worldwide. Users in each department are served with both standard and customized analytical solutions that are published to their individual streams. Ad-hoc reports are churned out using the NPrinting ad-on of Qlik Sense. Our business analytics and reporting team manage the entire multi-server enterprise Qlik Sense environment from a central location.
Most of our business problems were the availability of accurate data and speedy access to standard reports. Qlik Sense has helped achieve these goals.

Qlik Sense is the best BI tool I ever worked with. It opened my mind on the data world we live in
Qlik Sense is used across the whole organization to help our manufacturing plants to collect and access data easily and quickly. It also helps automatize a lot of excel reports and save time for people in order to analyze data instead of just preparing it. We now use it for our safety, Quality, Logistic, Production, Sales, Human resources KPIs. This system is a huge help in terms of centralizing a lot of information in a common place.
August 19, 2021
I'm just a novice, but eager to learn more!
There are users set up to access it across the organization, but only a couple of people use it. I am admittedly a novice, but I'm looking into training resources in order to build dashboards. Because our database is limited in its ability to do a lot of reporting, I'm hopeful Qlik Sense will help with some of the things I'd like to do.

Sensible Qlik Sense
We use Qlik Sense for reporting purposes. We also have done various report automations to reduce redundant manual work. Automations have been implemented to focus more time on validation and development. Managers/stakeholders across the whole organization use our automated reports to make decisions in a fast and seamless way rather than waiting for manually delivered reports.

QlikSense is being used by the network planning community to visualise data formed from various primary data sources of inventory and customer information to formulate decision making on growth and future investment. It is used to monitor and provide a window for planners to view possible "network at risk" issues or demand changes that require short term remedial action. It solves many of the issues of establishing a single source of truth, that planners can rely on. The volume of data that is processed daily/weekly/monthly makes heavy use of pre-processing and date dependent versions of data allowing comparison of versions.
Used across the whole organization to review business trend and performing comparisons.
We use Qlik Sense across the organization for both strategic level dashboarding and operational/department-level dashboarding and reporting. We currently have around 200+ dashboards in production touching nearly every department. Some dashboards are very small, purpose built to track individual business processes, while others are large, 80 million row data models encapsulating large swaths of the business.
Qlik Sense Enterprise is used by two divisions of our corporation and is used by the majority of the departments within those organizational entities and in a very self-empowered way.
We have other business intelligence applications (from other vendors) as well that allow MS Excel Add-in functionality to review enterprise performance results, but for visualizations and dashboards, we selected Qlik Sense as the preferred tool in that domain.
We segregate the creation of enterprise quality transactional system sources of data so that the QVD files (i.e. data warehouse) is one layer managed by IT Support staff (including myself) but once the datasets of the correct data quality are made available as QVD files then the business staff in any of the departments has the access to build visualizations and dashboards from the data contained in those files in any way they see fit (including the blending of datasets as appropriate with either other enterprise-quality data or with their own spreadsheets).

Qlik Sense is used primarily by our Delivery and Testing Services teams to track and manage customer health, margin analysis, a view of bugs over time, and project progress. We are currently rolling out more functionality to the sales and sales support teams to better track territory coverage, manage prospecting activities, and whitespace analysis.

Qlik Reporting
Currently being used for our Marketing, Operations, Management and Procurement departments. The whole business uses Qlik to report back keys information to the associated departments which enables them to keep updated on the business performance, discuss, and implement changes where necessary.
We use it for data analytics and insight generation on our data warehouse. The aim is to replace Access & Excel and our daily and repetitive work tasks.

Splendid data discovery and reporting tool, easy to use, but more complex to master completely.
Since our company has gone through its fair share of M&A, we have assembled quite a few reporting tools (Cognos, QlikView, Business Objects, ...) from their respective sources. However, Qlik Sense is the default go-to reporting tool supported by the BI domain, in which all new reports are made, and which will take over all other reporting tools eventually.
It is currently being used to monitor the performance of (processes in) a broad range of departments, most notably (but not limited to) sales, operational support, finance, marketing, customer support and so on.
Most of them are used as a follow-up on the day-to-day business, although some of them are already trying to predict where issues might arise should no action be taken, or where there is potential for new revenue (through new sales, upsell, cross-sell).

Qlik Sense Review
Qlik Sense is being used across [the] department and across [the] company. We have implemented Qlik view before.
The problem we face when implementing Qlik Sense compared to Qlik View is sometimes with the display on mobile is too big and how should we explain it to the user. For example we used KPI, only 2 KPI almost fills the cellphone screen for the Qlik Sense version in February.

Qlik Sense is being used enterprise-wide, both by internal and external users. Externally, it is offered as a private-labeled product that supplements our main lines of business.
June 30, 2021
Qlik Sense: There's positives and negatives, but, overall, it is a helpful reporting tool
I know that Qlik Sense is used by various managers in Operations and Quality. For the Operations department, they view Lab Specific and Customer Specific trends (revenue and volume data). For Quality, it is used as a Global data access tool - compiling all Quality Metrics in one App for Top Level managers and Quality managers to view.

Qlik Sense, good tool, room for growth
Qlik Sense is used by the entire organization. It helps us distribute reporting and analytics to a wide range of end users. We have dedicated developers and then the entire organization can leverage what is built by developers.
