QlikView is great for data visualization for non-technical users. With easy graphs and tables you can help end-users analyze financial or sales data. Think of KPI's, insights or trends on a daily, monthly or quarterly basis. It is less appropriate for adding text clarifications, commentary or insights based on the datapoints that are shown on-screen.
I use QlikView to combine data from several disparate spreadsheets to analyze and report our market share with our distributor customers throughout the world. "Distributor Customers" is the primary key among the spreadsheets. Since we have over 100 distributors, it would take me a long time to do this analysis and reporting without loading it into QlikView and creating a chart.
Pros
aggregating and filtering data from disparate data sources
letting users slice and dice data quickly and easily
easy to customize formulas and fields to display exactly what you want
Cons
The user interface could use some refreshing so it looks more modern
The reports that you print out could be more attractive
Connecting to and retrieving data from Salesforce CRM could be made easier.

I have successfully loaded and analyzed data from html webpages with other data from spreadsheets. QlikView is very easy and intuitive for end users in finance, operations, sales, or marketing to use. I have not encountered any situations where QlikView was not able to handle the amount of data I needed to report/analyze, but if I worked for a Fortune 500 company, I am told that I could run into issues with data volume.

I believe it's imperative for any growing organization to have a dynamic business intelligence tool and Qlik is among the top 5 options in my opinion. The robust features and integration capabilities make it a great option for all types of organizations, but when deciding between Qlik and other options, it really comes down to preference and compatibility with existing systems since it is very similar to competitor options like PowerBI.
