QlikView

We use QV to as our visual analytics platform for workforce analytics.
Pros: Good data connection Flexible Easy to use
Cons: Lack visual appeal in its default mode; Inconsistent behaviour when stretched capability

QlikView is used by the organization and addresses many points specially within Finance Dept. Used for reports, associations in the data, and the manageability it offers

Qlikview is used as a data summarization tool for operational risk. The software sits on top of our database to allow the business to get insight into their data. We use it almost as someone might use a pivot table in Excel. We have preset pivots and charts that are updated relatively real-time as data is fed into the database.

QlikView is being used in a real estate company to build a dashboard for our multiple clients so they track their properties, amount, square footage etc. Ours is a client facing team and it used in our technology department.

We use QlikView to produce a variety of dashboards for the board of trustees, the superintendent, department chiefs and executive management, and employees of certain other departments to assist in monitoring KPIs and other important data quickly, easily, and in ways that have often been difficult or impossible to see before the implementation of QlikView.

When I first started using QlikView 12 years ago, it was a small niche tool that could help you load your data from a variety of sources and build dazzling visualizations in a matter of hours or days. As an Application Director for a mid-size manufacturing company, I deployed my first QlikView dashboard in 3 weeks, with minimal investment, and that first achievement was called a "slam dunk" even by the most skeptical executives. This was in 2002, way before most of the tools and gadgets that we use today, ever existed.

We used QlikView to analyze Sales, and then Profit Margins, and then Excess and Obsolete Inventories, and then transportation costs, and so on and so forth. within 5 years, QlikView become a valuable business tool on every desk in the company.

Since then, the technology world around us had changed a lot - our computers are now using 64-bit operating systems, and a nifty laptop is now more powerful than the most powerful server back in the days. The capabilities of business software had changed as well. Today, QlikView is not a niche tool anymore, it's a flagman tool in the market of Data Discovery (Qlik likes to call the same term Business Discovery). However, the core value remains largely the same:

With QlikView, we can load large amounts of data and build beautiful and insightful visualizations with an unmatched speed. Using the recent advances in technology, we can empower our users to navigate their data in the most liberating and powerful way.

I won't be the first to state that modern companies collect, store and process vast amounts of data. BI tools are trying to help people make sense of that data, and QlikView is by far my favorite tool for this task. We think that we know our business. However, the "million dollar" question is what we don't know about our business? For me and many of my customers, QlikView has become an eye opener, in the way it helped companies realize how much they don't know about their business:

- As a manufacturer, do you know what products are truly profitable and to what extent, considering all the customer programs, allowances, chargebacks etc?

- Do you know what products in your inventory are turning fast and what products are sitting there for years?

- Do you know your true service levels with your customers, and how they are trending in time, and what are the possible reasons might be?

- Do you know if vendor payment terms are consistent across your corporation, or do you lose money on various unfavorable payment terms?

- Do you know how your customers are paying you? Do they comply to your payment terms? Are you paying them chargebacks while they are being late on their commitments?

- Do you know if your employees follow your travel policy, and how much does it cost you when they don't?

All of those questions have one thing in common - if you don't know the answer, you are likely to be wasting money that could be saved.

When things are getting tough, companies tend to resort to layoffs and tough decisions... With the help of QlikView and advanced business analytics, we can find money in a haystack of data and help companies get better without necessarily laying people off. There is a lot of money wasted in the process, and QlikView is an excellent tool that can help us find it, save it and put it back to work.

QlikView was used for support of ETL, data integrity between different/disparate prod. sources, and discovery of data gaps.

It is being used across the entire Company (in a BPO environment) for different customers, mostly for scorecards and finance analysis dashboards.

QlikView is our companies go-to reporting solution. It is our frontend BI tool and is generally used to pull information out of our database. We provide a flexible "report builder" which is valuable to our end users who build reports off QlikView reports. This reporting tool is used across many departments: SEM | BD | Partners | SplitTest | Finance

QlikView is used by senior level managers at my company (mostly C-Level) as an advanced analytics tool. My company in general works within the Microsoft technology stack (.NET, SSRS/SSIS, etc) however QlikVIew had significantly better performance and adaptability and as such was brought in. It is used primarily by accounting, finance, and managment. It addresses the problem of many other reporting tools being incomplete (SSRS, Business Objects), as well as creating a custom BI tool from scratch being too much work and effort to create/maintain.

QlikView is widely used across the whole organization for reporting purposes. It makes reporting very easy as we have many sources of data like SAP systems, SQL database , Excel files, and some text files etc.

We use QlikView for multiple levels of management reporting in our organization. We decided to use QlikView based on a recommendation from one of our consultants who agreed to implement the software at no charge to us. We currently have C-Level reports being generated daily as well as mid-Level and day-to-day operations reports. We were limited to basic reporting from Salesforce.com, which spurred the need to bring in a more robust reporting package.

We are a small consulting firm with remote workers. I run the QlikView Practice and focus on the consulting area. I use Qlikview internal for delivery analytics such as utilization and resource planning.

We rolled out QlikView in a lot of departments. We used QlikView with the Sales and Marketing organization to show key metric dashboards. This product was well received as it was easy and intuitive to use. The dashboards were easy to build and modify. IT supported the application with ease. Loved this tool.

We've primarily used QlikView to access the underlying data in SAP (ERP & BW). It's ability to easily handle tens of millions of records allows reports to be generated directly from the transaction detail instead of relying on summary cubes. This both simplifies the development effort and results in more useful finished product.

Qlikview was used by our entire company but primary used by the Sales team. We wanted a way to track and identify hot leads who were most likely to convert to real buyers/subscribers of our product. We also wanted to understand what patterns led to buying and what the typical sales life cycle looked like.

Our team was looking for a BI tool for analyze and create reports from NIH clinical trial data. The data itself is simple, but we needed a tool that could handle many joins, large data sets, and produce clean reports. We tested Tableau software and Qlikview for about a year and ultimately selected Tableau

It's being used by certain depts in the company. It currently solves a business situation we have where using other products will take a long time to accomplish.

We use QlikView for fulfilling the reporting needs of businesses. It is used across all the departments in the organization for various reporting needs. QlikView is very easy to use for the business users and users can drill to the least granular level of data in which they are interested. Deployment of QlikView applications and setting up of QlikView environment is also very easy. The AQL technology of QlikView helps for easy development of the QlikView applications.

QlikView is being used across the whole organization both on Web and Mobile platforms. Due to QlikView's user driven approach to the Business Intelligence, we have a wide range of business users from the field people to the executive management.

We mainly adress the business problems such as performance and activity reporting.

QlikView is being used as our enterprise BI solution. It addresses our needs to have visible data with actionable intelligence in the areas of Supply Chain, Finance, and Sales.
