Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
We are starting department by department but the idea is to deploy across all the organization. The main business problem it addresses is a lack of a good reporting and BI tools in our current legacy from one hand and to give us an option to combine data from several resources for better analysis.
- Great out-of-the-box self-service analytical capabilities. Very intuitive to use and short learning curve even for a non-tech person (for basic usage). For more experienced tech/BI user, this tool can give "quick wins" (in hours!) for implementing reports that on other tools can take days.
- The desktop version is free and includes all the features of the Enterprise version.
- Qlik Sense includes a robust ETL capability (guided wizard and elaborated script language)
- Qlik provides great training materials (webinar, help guide, forum and community) but those lack with re to the advanced features - i.e. how to develop widgets.
- The cloud solution provided by Qlik, is currently not available for enterprises but only for small companies. You can still implement in the cloud, but it will need to be your private cloud.
Qlik Sense is more mature and has more capabilities that currently lack in power BI.
