What is QlikView?
The vendor describes QlikView, Qlik’s classic analytics solution, as a revolution in how organizations use data, with intuitive visual discovery that put business intelligence in the hands of more people than ever. Qlik Sense, the vendor's next-generation analytics platform, supports the full range of modern analytics use cases at enterprise scale by combining the Associative Engine with Cognitive Engine driving augmented intelligence, plus a scalable, governed cloud architecture.

QlikView user review
We have many users working with the QlikView app, and export our ERP data to the software to apply filters and research product sales and orders across our global footprint. It can be very challenging to export past data and current trends from most ERP software, and the QV application makes it easy and fruitful in searching for trends and justification data.
- Trend identification
- New product tracking
- Data export
- Alignment across many divisions
- Data input clarity
QlikView is used widespread, but not every group in the firm uses it currently. But usage is growing constantly, and we have many new use cases on the to-do list, so I anticipate expanded usage to continue.
Our analysts use QlikView to review data in detail, prepare dashboards and reports for their analysis commentary/output, etc. Managers also use QlikView for quick high level review of data.

- Easy user interface.
- Self-service available for 'power' users.
- It is not very difficult to maintain or rollout updates.
- Some users do not like all features.
- Enhancement requests do not get adopted quickly.
- It would be nice to have additional functions available for some of our use cases.
We use it across every department for the most real-time view in dashboard reporting. Whether it's sales, production scheduling, IT system status or performance, etc. We also use it for viewing historical order and sales data. It has been critical for gaining insights into the performance of our organization.
- Data visualizations
- Data warehousing
- Integrating with 3P software
- Steep learning curve.
- Some dashboard features feel slow.
- Robust features can feel overwhelming for new users.

Great tool but expensive
QlikView is being used by our organization to monitor and analyze data for our business processes and allows us to create different tables and views that are worth analyzing. It helps us to manage the manage the business decisions that we make. It is not used by all of our team, only some of it.
- Charts.
- Tables.
- Data analysis.
- Customer support.
- Implementation.

Clear Data where you need it, when you need it
It's being used across the whole organization. It's used mostly for Revenue and Business performance reporting, but it's also used for other internal metrics reporting (HR).
- Great data integration
- Amazing ability to filter data in live
- Flexibility in the type of Dashboards/Charts you can build
- I'd like chart building [to] be easier. Adding / creating dimensions, simpler language and formatting.
- Dashboard creating should also have better design, the blank sheet is small, you have to keep expanding, formatting the whole dashboard is not very easy.
- Language to integrate data may be a bit complex.
We implemented QlikView for a customer who needed better BI views of marketing, financial and selling data.
- Graphic representation of numerical data.
- Creation from scratch of reports suitable for any occasion.
- Customer and implementation support.
- Expensive.
- Poor performance, the application is RAM and CPU hungry 100% of the time.

Great analysis software for your report and dashboard needs!
QlikView is currently being used by most of the key users within our organization by those who needs to access highly-interactive analytics applications and dashboards in a really simple way. It's filters allow for a very intuitive use of the software, allowing the users different points of view of the same data.
- Filters on reports are really easy to use.
- It's easy to create new reports.
- The cost could be a little high for some companies.
- The UI is not as simple to manage.

QlikView: Decent BI tool

- Interactive.
- Easy to use.
- Costly.
- Weak integration.

- Data transformation.
- Ease of use.
- Pricing model.

Qlikview review
We are using QlikView to visualize our data quality management dashboards with either business users, their management or executives of our company. Using with QlikView documents (QVD) and QlikView views (QVW) helps us to distribute data with a variety of user interfaces.
Tablet support is enabled for our executives and they can check their dashboards anytime and make decisions upon change of the data.
Tablet support is enabled for our executives and they can check their dashboards anytime and make decisions upon change of the data.
- Fast development
- Easy SDLC implementation
- Visualization performance
- Variety of charts
- Ability to answer needs
- Faster data refresh policy for static and changing records on the same page
- More Data Compression
We use QlikView as a data exploration tool for non-experts. Our front-line staff can use QlikView to dig into our data, explore what's available, what prospects might be in a particular area, what a possible population might be for a targeted event, mailing or solicitation. Our entire department has access to Qlikview--some users rely more heavily than others on data to inform their decisions. Those users are digging into QlikView to get a picture of what their data looks like quickly and easily.
- QlikView has a simple, relational data model that's REALLY fast. Filtering and changing data is dead simple results are almost immediately available.
- The free version of Qlikview is almost completely featured, so you roll a pro-level product out to an entire department for really cheap.
- QlikView is really flexible--if you can imagine it, you can build it.
- Because it's such a clean slate, QlikView requires some UI design. You've got to think about how you want to display not only the data itself, but the filters and controls users need to explore the data.
- It can also be a pretty confusing to your users: if they filter in one place, they often forget that they've done so and don't understand why they're not seeing all their data elsewhere.
- The free version of Qlikview doesn't push data updates, so if users forget to refresh their data manually, they can be working from an old copy of the data. Paid versions solve this problem.

- Free desktop version
- Faster
- More selection of charts
- Confusing user interface
- Small community
- Time intensive formatting

Qlikview: The older horse in a heat full of young stallions
It is used by finance and all of the various product line management teams to help determine the financial information not only of the company as a whole but down to specific items in our global portfolio. We can track high and low performing products over specific periods of time.
- Aggregates the data relatively quickly
- Allows some simple forms of graphing the data to present
- Can drill down to specific items
- Is not user-friendly out of the gate. It takes some time to understand how to navigate through the data to get what you want.
- Is limited to the data the finance team feel the users want to see. Cannot control finite amounts of filtering.
- While it can and does filter data well the presentation of the data has a very late 90's early 2000's feel to it with no way to change.

Qlikview from a glance
Qlikview is being used across many departments as a way of consolidating various data sources and systems. We use Qlikview to view reports or filter data for reporting use. Qlikview in my organization addresses the issue of having to look in multiple places to get like or similar data such as inventory by DC, transport by store/dc, and various data sets which are stored in different systems. Qlikview allows as to organize data from different systems that would otherwise not communicate with each other.
- Has great visual dashboards
- Can consolidate data sets from many sources
- Is user friendly and easy to learn
- Allows you to slice and dice data easily
- Depending on the quantity of data sources it can be slow to refresh
- If not managed well data integrity can be an issue
- Creating dashboards is not easy

A software to keep our data updated
Our business is about obtaining and managing data for our geographical systems, and using this data to create new trends and new products for our business. We have two main departments: the geographical department, where I work, and the IT department, where the whole core of our systems stands. The whole organization uses the software because we have all the systems integrated (products, prices and IT) so the whole company speaks the same language. As a business, we get the data of people, transportation, store preferences, products preferences and business management in order to deliver products for a variety of things: stores, delivery products, public offices or transportation offers.
- Manages a great amount of data and brings the best of it
- Analyzes data and develops new trends for the products we made
- Send a new set of data for the products in our business
- The software needs an IT team in the company that can handle the troubles with the code systems that I, as a user, can't deal with.
- The software needs a maintenance contract to be able to modify the configurations of the data in order to adapt to our needs.
- The software is a very useful tool but has to be more intuitive for the users to manage some functionality and be faster with our daily work.

A great product that is easy to use, but it does have some slight issues with integration as well being too expensive
It's used by our BI department to make a determination of data analytics to improve processes in which we can achieve faster wait times. Understanding the time/date/nature of visits. A very holistic approach to make educated decisions.
- Fast to learn.
- Interacts with most Database or data sources.
- Pricing. Adding extra modules could lead to a much higher capital expense than originally budgeted.
- Integration in other reporting tools or internal intranet web portals is very hard to do. It requires much development work which translates to time/money.
My clients use QlikView (or I should say that I use QlikView for my clients!) to build reporting and "dashboards" based on accounting and operations data. Primarily, we use the version bundled inside of QuickBooks 2015 Enterprise (called "Advance Reporting"), and have created very nice -- and quite complex -- reports based on the QlikView engine / modules. Specifically, we report on sales commissions earned by sales person, on a per-item, per customer basis -- great detail that is simply not possible without QlikView.
- QV's #1 strength is the drag and drop visualization tools -- with just a bit of training, you can make some really nice looking charts
- QV's #2 strength is the simplicity of the filtering. Other SQL languages might call this "linking" or database structure ... which can be a pain.... but QV makes this easy. Further, once the data is inside QV, the ability to FILTER the data using check boxes is completely intuitive and simple.
- QV's #3 strength is its ability to work across platforms and integrate multiple data sources and multiple types of data. QuickBooks data is just one example of something that it can chew up with ease.
- Like a lot of software, QV starts with a blank page. If you are like me, you dive in without reading the instruction manual. Big mistake. There is a rigid stepwise process that you must follow to make it work....
- I've never used anything quite as powerful as QV, so I cannot compare this to many other packages. ... but with 30 minutes of training and an hour of practice, you can be pretty proficient.

Powerful Data Processing and Reporting Tool
We use this with a few of our projects on the analytics team. We use it for KPI reporting, sales reporting, and marketing reporting.
- Robust In-Memory Technology: data can be stored in-memory and you can access the reports quickly.
- Compresses the data to one-tenth of the actual size.
- Powerful data searching technology.
- Customer support could be improved a bit.
- The learning curve is high compared to other BI tools.

QlikView - not a bad tool after all
- Owning a data warehouse.
- Addition of scripting feature.
- Too many features.
- Cost a bit too high.
