Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

Qlik Sense is used across the whole organization with different maturity degrees of adoption. Within my own department, I don't use it only for monitoring, but also for gaining insight related to server performance. By using Grey-Green-White features in Qlik Sense, I was able to get the usage behavior of all programs running in a server. For example, the peak time, the most used apps, the relationship between time. and certain program usage. I was also able to find the root cause of some problems. For example, finding the root cause of a performance problem case is in lack of memory instead of a lack of CPU.
  • Simplicity and easiness
  • Speed of analysis
  • Green-Gray-White feature
  • The desktop version is longer free. It makes it hard to recommend it to everyone.
  • Lacking interoperability. Only Qlik is able to access QVD Data. Should make a connector to another program.
  • Need a mobile version app with simple authentication (like current the desktop version) which can directly connect to get data in the cloud.
  • We are able to predict capacity requirements using historical data easier.
First and foremost, the ability of Qlik to play nice with SAP and utilize SAP Extractor. Second, the Grey-White-Green feature for basic insight is also very useful.
It is perfect for structured data, to create a dashboard, and to get a simple insight into the relationship between dimensions. It is less appropriate for unstructured data, since you will need lots of work to clean/transform the data. It also won't replace R or Python to get more advanced insight using many statistics available in the algorithms.
