Qlik Sense Enterprise
Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
Currently Qlik Sense is being used by selected users within the whole organisation.
The current usage is quite limited as it does not connect to our existing systems yet, especially for the finance domain where we have to upload our own Excel files. Understand that this is not a Qlik Sense problem, but a data warehouse problem which the organisation is currently trying to resolve as well. Once the data warehouse is set up and running, Qlik Sense will be more widely and actively used.

- Ease of publishing dashboards on an enterprise-level via streams.
- Scripting language is powerful with lots of functions.
- Qlik Sense can handle the whole data lifecycle, from ETL all the way to visualisations on dashboards.
- Things are not as easily customisable as say, Power BI or Tableau. E.g. font size, font type, text location, etc. No overlay/floating visuals capability as well.
- Complex front-end development makes the dashboards a bit sluggish and slow.
- No measurable impact yet, as our organisation is still in its infancy stage of implementation, but users have mentioned that their workflow did speed up quite a bit with Qlik Sense.
Let me preface that I was not involved in the decision to use Qlik Sense over the other products. However, I believe that my organisation decided to go with Qlik Sense as the enterprise software as it was able to support the security and access control requirements.
From a user perspective, I use Qlik Sense for enterprise dashboarding, which is easy to use as the dashboard auto scales and change based on the device/browser used to view.
I would however still use Power BI for quick and dirty data exploration as it is very straightforward and easy to interface with the Microsoft suite of products.
