Qlik Sense Enterprise

Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

It's used across the whole department (NSW Health). My department just uses Qlik Sense as our main BI tool at the moment while the other departments use other tools as well like Power BI or Tableau. Our department uses Qlik Sense for our KPI monthly reports replacing our static PDF reports.
  • Can access different data sources directly.
  • Easy to learn to build simple reports.
  • Continual support from Qlik Sense team.
  • Cannot change font size in the graphs, hard to read the graph titles especially when projecting to larger screens. Just the graph size becomes bigger not the titles at all!
  • It's not really that easy to build the data model behind, steep learning curve. The built-in data manager is no use for serious analysts.
  • Hard to visualise clearly on big screens, very faded and white on big screens.
  • Data security model is complex.
  • Cannot use version control software on Qlik Sense files, harder on collaborative work.
  • Set analysis is powerful and useful but complex.
  • Improve the turn over time in publishing our reports. 3 times faster.
Power BI of course is more compatible with MS products. It's cheaper to implement Qlik Sense than SAS Visual Analytics.
Visualisation is best on smaller screens like laptops and iPads, but not on big screens and projectors.
