Qlik Sense Enterprise
Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
Qlik is used to visualize supply chain data, provide KPI's and improve data literacy throughout our company. As a supply chain management company Qlik has enabled us to break away from "tribal knowledge" that is typically siloed by client and provide a holistic view of our our supply chain. Now, when our buyers, expediters and conformers need to make a purchasing decision or follow up with an order they have a wealth of knowledge and experience at their finger tips. The universal search functionality enables users to find a source, extract data and contact suppliers with a few clicks!
Pros
- Visualizing trends over time.
- Easily work with data from multiple data sources.
- Build extractable reports or tables.
Cons
- Learning curve with Qlik scripting language.
- Licensing structure.
- Confusing overlap between QlikView and Qlik Sense.
- Reduce number sales leads we pursue by over 50%, focusing on selecting the right clients ahead of time.
- 30+% increase in spend on contract.
- Reduce implementation time by 30%.
While the same can be said for many of the other tools we evaluated, Qlik's robust community and free training programs were a major benefit to driving the democratization of data at our company. Qlik also offered local in person events (pre-COVID) that provided free training workshops that were very close to our corporate HQ. Ultimately the combination of ability to work with multiple data sources, ease of use, and local training created a sweet spot for us.
