Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is used as the primary business intelligence hub to enable managers to analyse information about the performance of many aspects of the business. It is being used across the whole organisation. It has replaced static SRSS reports which were delivered on a timed basis directly to departments which resulted in a myriad of reports being virtually the same with very small variations in how the data was presented. We can use a unified view for those reports now and train the users to move around within the presented data using Qlik in the way it is designed.
The main business problems it addresses are analytic views on performance by department for various aspects of the business, which previously static reporting could be potentially misleading or would disallow further analysing within the available data meaning decisions were often not as considered as managers might like.

- Ease of visualisation creation, Qlik sense allows fast and easy data visualisations for easy consumption of data.
- Unification of data presentation across the organisation, apps and sheets can be managed and used across many aspects of the business
- Intuitive. For the curious few it allows growth within each department for how the data is used and presented which can then be utilised for a wider audience if there is consensus that the data analysis gains strength from the way it is presented.
- Shared bookmarks is a function that most users want, mainly to recreate quick "go-to" visualisations for particular focus meetings.
- Renaming tabs where seta analysis is used based on selection criteria.
- Positive investment in time spent recreating and managing SRSS reports has disappeared.
- Negative impact is user training and acceptance for a new software is limited and the help is stacked towards technically adept users and administrators.
- Positive impact in terms of more in depth judgement of available data for business intelligence "in-place" within departments.
- Positive that it is so accessible very quickly and can be user adapted in some circumstances.
Qlik was a way to combine data retrieval and presentation in one place. The majority of other solutions we evaluated required one part to retrieve data, or multiple parts to retrieve the data from various sources, then something else to prepare visualisations or reports. Qlik is very slick at combining all of this once the data is being compiled correctly.
