Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

It's used by just myself but hopefully more members of my team and others in the near future.
  • Fast associative processing
  • Visualize data
  • Handles large data sets
  • Scripting language is very technical for some users.
  • Very limited customization of dashboard layouts.
Qlik Sense is quicker and easier to develop in than QlikView and is much more modern but it seriously lacks the dashboard customization capabilities of QlikView and is noticeably much less mature of a product. Tableau is very similar to Sense but is more cumbersome to deal with many different data sources and large amounts of data.
Well suited for quick basic analysis of a data set. Not well suited for advanced dashboarding.
