Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

I can't speak to other parts of the organization, but in my role I use Qlik Sense to better understand how we are performing in various modeling exercises that help me to quickly identify meaningful trends.
  • No tech expertise required
  • Enables users to very quickly create custom visuals of any data set
  • Helps users to be able to present data in an engaging format
  • With the use case of this tool being for non-tech users, it does have its limitations and in comparison to similar tools like Tableau might be considered a bit basic.
  • The way setting up a dashboard is done on the graph with resizing limits (can be annoying and does limit user ability to creatively show everything they would want on one screen, for example).
  • I would say one thing missing is the breadth of graph types that a user could use (think complex bubble scatter plots, charts trying to illustrate multiple dimensions).
I was not the decision maker. Qlik Sense in my opinion is for faster specific use cases, time to value with Qlik Sense is definitely faster.
Best Scenario: Fast analysis, by anyone, on anything, clean presentation, exploratory research, large scale deployment

Worst Scenario: Tech users, data scientists, mission critical pursuits, visualizations
