Qlik Sense Cloud
Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
Qlik sense is being used for our organization to capture demographic data for clients served across all programs, as well as provide outcome data, fidelity data (adherence to our program model), and tracking of strategic initiatives for clients within our flagship program. Additionally, Key Apps and sheets that we use internally have been "templatized" and are being offered as part of the "deep evaluation and learning experience" we provide to other organizations who adopt our flagship model (within their own organization in different states) as part of our Network Affiliate model.
- Interactive visualizations.
- Customization to add your own company branding (logo, color schemes, etc.).
- Allow for multiple cuts or filters of data depending on user needs (region, time frame, client type, etc.).
- Use Standard SQL so that new staff can build sheets and apps quickly using existing knowledge
- need to be able to select specific dates for filtering data (i.e., show data for all clients served between 7/1/2019 and 6/30/2020) as this would address the majority of our data requests from contracts and development
- Provide a "user training" section of the site that allows end-users to have a guided training on how to navigate QilkSense and use Key features like the snapshot tool or how to apply multiple filters to a particular view using the organization's data, not a random dummy data set.
- Desktop version with "date picker" plug in eliminated roughly 10 ad-hoc data requests each month (about 20-30 hours per month) but the date picker plug in no longer works nor does the desktop version.
Tableau is too expensive. Microsoft BI is what we might switch to in terms of our department's skill set, available (free) training resources through forums and youtube, and pricepoint for a nonprofit.
