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.

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 is widely used in a range of reports such as marketing, sales and KPI tracking internally and presentation reports externally. The tool has high-quality graphing options that allow us to provide results to C suite level senior leader team on a daily basis and also generate graphs for analytics.
- Interactive.
- Easy to use.
- Costly.
- Weak integration.

- Pattern visualization.
- Data transformation.
- Ease of use.
- Pricing model.
It is used to make daily operational reports, which measures the progress to achieve the goals. It is also used to report results at C-level. It is used to generate low-performance alerts and to generate evaluations ranking employees. Lastly, it is used to generate reports for data analysis and statistical studies.
- Easy to use
- It makes easy to share information
- It is easy to make reports
- Better tools for statistical analysis

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.

We use this with a few of our projects on the analytics team. We use it for KPI reporting, sales reporting, and marketing reporting.

- The learning curve is high compared to other BI tools.
December 23, 2019
- Owning a data warehouse.

QlikView is being used as our Enterprise Analytics Solution to create dashboards containing HR, Payroll, Finance, Training, and other data. It has helped to reduce ad hoc reports and increase communication and awareness. It has been utilized for general info and to help target specific problems.
- Data Visualization
- Dashboards
- Data Analysis
- Report building tool itself is very different than many other BI tools
- Setting up your layouts/data visualization display could be easier. Reminds me of trying to make adjustments in Visio
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.

It is used as an alternative data visualization solution in our department and there was an exploration of applying it on different projects.
- Free desktop version
- Faster
- More selection of charts
- Confusing user interface
- Small community
- Time intensive formatting

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.
June 26, 2019
QlikView is currently being used by the Finance and Accounting departments. We use it to run analytics, create dashboards, run KPIs, pull data for sales tax filings, and for month-end close reconciliations
- It is fairly user-friendly for creating new Apps.
- It has the ability to handle large volumes of data -- over 5000+ lines.
- The ability to extract the data into excel, pdf files, etc..
- It is not clear why, when you extract data into Excel, certain columns are shaded a dark grey -- and this changes each time. There appears to be no consistency or reason.

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.
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

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.

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.
I work for an MSP. QlikView is used by some of our current clients. My role is to maintain the support and in some cases recommend the product to other clients where possible.
- Discovery aspect of user visibility of data.
- Ease of publishing reports to web interface.
- High speed filtering of wide long data sets.
- QlikView has some issues with macros. Most of the support calls are issues with macros. Perhaps improve it.
- Doc Cal licensing encourages development of poorly formed reports that has lots of tabs and chart objects.
- Old windows style development IDE with poor debugging capabilities.

QlikView in Tsentrobuv covered all the systems and almost all business users - from stores to stakeholders. sales, marketing, accounting, IT and so on. They were covered by about 70+ different QlikView applications.
- Works great with a great amount of data. For example: detailed transactions for 1200+ stores for 2 years.
- Easy for end users - as simple as Excel but much more representative.
- The system can be implemented in short period of time (starting from 2 weeks).
- All the information is preloaded in the application. Sometimes it would [not] be easy to select a period of time (for example) at first.
- Lack of geo-based functionality.
- Missing data-mining functionality.
- Lack of prediction functionality.

We implemented QlikView as a "soft" BI system, in the beginning in our IT and KPI department, and then in our production and cost analysis departments. We carry out dashboards and tables to present the data as the department managers need it for daily decisions.
- Easy access to any database, you need just a valid credential.
- Heavy interaction with Excel, this is a must for users and to solve basic issues.
- The system evolves according to the user's capacity.
- In the beginning you need to involve the user, the first impact is friendly but the immediate results are somewhat trivial.
- When you understand the potential of the system you need to QlikView experts for more complex processing.
- If you connect a complex database such as a company ERP solution (you can easy do it), you need to know the database structure to find data.

QlikView is used across our whole organization. In the marketing department we use it for Business Intelligence to view margin, cost, categories, etc. It gives us really granular info about our skus and sales. I personally use it to decide which products to promote in marketing campaigns based on margin and bestsellers. We've also needed to understand the cost of an item in order to decide on promotions.
- I love how you can slice and dice data to get the answers you need about your skus and sales.
- QlikView gives me more detail than Google Analytics about how my categories are performing.
- Our BI team is able to use QlikView to answer almost any question I have about what's happening on our website. They can set up bookmarks of commonly used searches that I need to make it quicker for me to find the data I need.
- QlikView is not intuitive for the average user. You definitely need a BI team to set it up and help you use it, as a marketer.
- Our instance of QlikView does not provide cost data. I'm given the information I need but I have to do some math in order to come up with the cost we're selling a product for. This may be because our BI team hasn't set it up that way.
- You have to remember to use QlikViews navigation functions and not your browsers. And when I click from one tab to another, I lose my settings and have to start over.
- I'm a casual user of QlikView and maybe if I were an actual BI team member, I would have the knowledge to get around these obstacles.
Qlikview is being used in the sales department in our organization.It solves the problems with respect to business sales.
- Qlikview allows rapid in-memory assembly of data (qvd's) from various sources such a database, flat files etc to produce nifty, integrated reports, it appeals a lot to the business users who get a fairly quick answer to their questions.
- Very easy to use and user friendly from a business user perspective as data can be shown in charts and diagrams which is helpful for high level executives.
- Easy to install and setup from an administrator's point of view.
- It requires lot of memory in servers for it to perform efficiently since it pre-loads data.
- From a developer's perspective it's very complex to set up the loads and scripts in the qvd's and subsequently to the qvw.
- The support for Qlikview is not topnotch.
- Very hard to monitor all the loads from an admin point of view as if one load fails the qvw dashboard doesn't get the data in.
We are using QlikView as part of the reporting strategy at the university. Dashboards are being developed for different entities within the university and each entity is using it for its own purpose. We created dashboards to reflect the students' status and behavior, the status of the IT ticketing system and the status of the financial situation. The plan is for us to use QlikView now with the new data warehouse we're building to be able to report on the whole situation of the university from one source.
- Fast applying changes to the filters
- Easy to deploy and needs minimal operation time
- It connects to all data sources we needed
- The online community is very helpful and it has a lot of data already
- The Select Tables form needs major renovations
- Still has stability issues where it crashes frequently
