Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Analytics Platform

We are a big organization with a lot of business domains and departments. Consequently, each domain and each department within have reporting requirements. They have their data mostly on local or shared Excel files. Every time they need a new report, they either carried out this from scratch or ask the DWH/BI team to create a new report/change the existing one. This brings a lot of overhead and inefficiency. In order to automate this process and remove lots of labor, our organization implemented Qlik Analytics Platform where any user can create and manage its reports. Therefore, the whole organization is happily using it now.
  • Reporting
  • Business intelligence
  • It still requires the IT team to setup the reporting page.
  • Authorization can be improved via roles.
  • Overhead of creating and maintaining BI reports is drastically decreased.
  • It provided ability for the business unit to create and manage its own custom reports.
Qlik is a platform with more scaling ability and functionality compared to PowerBI. PowerBI is the prior step before passing to Qlik, however, Qlik provides more functions and abilities to the business domain unit with better management capabilities for the IT team that set it up. In the end, we implemented Qlik for functionality and scalability.
Qlik is great for companies with lots of business domains and departments because it scales well, especially if data that is reported is saved in SQL and similar structures. Its ease of use and good UI enables business units to create and manage their own reports. That removes a great burden of creating and managing/modifying these pages from the IT team. Overall, it's a win-win for both IT and business units.

Would you buy Qlik Analytics Platform again?

Yes

Qlik is most appropriate where the business domain is actively accessing reports, and especially when it requires changes/modifications in it. With Qlik, this can be carried out without an IT team because anyone can create their own reports. Qlik is the most appropriated when the data is saved in an SQL server, automating the data retrieval and management even further.
