Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

QlikSense is used across different departments in our organization. The implementation uses the right data model based on how we want to consume our data. This alone solves data availability, quality and most of all, decreased dependency from the IT group.

Pros

  • Visualization. Easy to understand visualization controls enabling non-technical users to create their own dashboards with minimal ticket request.
  • Built-in Associative model. It was very easy for IT to create a base model for the end users to consume.
  • Internal data store. Although being proprietary, this attribute saved the organization from license cost
  • Extensibility. Very easy for us to branch out any base data model or reports that we've built in the past to enable us to continuously align to business needs.

Cons

  • The internal workload balance is good, but it would be nice for us to be able to control how server loads can be distributed across server nodes.
  • We no longer pay for an RDBMS license. This is a huge savings to the organization.
Qlik Sense has its own data source, although it moved us away from maintaining RDBMS licenses.
Qlik Sense is best-suited to end users. Very good direction if you wish to lighten up workload off of the IT group. Just create the data model and throw it out there. End users given the proper training will always find it interesting to mold their own data for their specific purposes.

It is less appropriate if the organization already has a dedicated BI group. Should that be the case, you'd better go for Qlik View.
