Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

Qlik sense enables any user to produce analysis and use it to support decision making. It also enables one to create a presentation/story that integrates such analysis with a presentation story flow. The great strength of Qlik Sense is to be able to explore and discover information, leveraging on Qlik association capability, and ability to integrate data from many silo data sources to give a complete view to information.
  • Associative technology to provide a "complete" discovery and view to information.
  • Support integration from many common enterprise data sources.
  • Bundled story board that integrates presentation and analysis all in one.
  • Provides third party extensions to create more attractive visuals.
  • More bundled attractive visualization objects.
  • Incorporate some form of decision workflow/path-ing capability into the software to enable more organised discovery-path to surfacing relevant analysis as users interact with data/information.
  • Further improve the ease of software use.
  • Qlik Sense is a self-service BI software and thus relatively easier for users to learn and use.
  • Its proprietary associative technology enables easier and complete view and analysis to data/information to uncover useful insights.
  • Its ETL capabilities are also relatively good and useful for users to utilize and associate data to their needs/relevancy.
Suited for an organisation where users have access to and understand data to support their analysis and decision support. Suitable for users who are keen to explore and discover information. Suited for organisations that have data/IT support function to provide proper data and established data relationship for users to use.

Not suited for an organisation where users are not proactive to data analysis, exploration and/or don't understand data.
