Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
[We began using] Qlik Sense a year and a half ago, and it’s still not as popular as QlikView is, within the business users and IT analysts at the client’s place yet. But the new features, like the new Qlik Sense dashboards are being created and presented to business teams, to understand its capabilities and present its rich UI features.
- Qlik Sense provides self-service capabilities to business users and analysts, and with its responsive web designing (RWD) capabilities, the look and feel of Qlik Sense dashboards have been very impressive.
- Qlik Branch provides some great visually beautiful Qlik Sense Extension charts which help display KPIs in a new perspective in regular line & bar charts.
- Some features like Qlik Mashups & Widgets help display the data by integrating Qlik charts with HTML/other scripting languages.
- Similar to QlikView, the Data Transformation layer (scripting) helps add more weight to Qlik Sense. We know that the data in the data layer is never aggregated or loaded per the requirement, and Qlik Sense scripting layer helps us transform the data in the way it performs better.
- Direct Discovery does provide Qlik Sense the real-time data connectivity features, but that restricts the ability to fetch some dimensions and measures, and not the whole database tables/data.
- Qlik Sense dashboards are not completely developed and isn't fully available for all the Business Users, but the users who are using it are happy with the application
Qlik Sense has the transformation layer which isn't available in Tableau.
