Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

Used across the whole organisation especially with departments who are involved in sales and marketing.
In-depth analysis are often performed for departments who are required to come up with incremental enhancements to existing platforms and functions.
Templates and dashboard are created for regular reports as well as high level reporting for most of other casual users.
  • Ease of use; easy for beginners to pick up.
  • Many visualizations are included in the pack which provide options for users.
  • Great community for resources sharing.
  • Expression coding easy to pick up.
  • While most commonly expressions are easy to pick up, there are certain expressions that can be certainly included in the library like 'grouping' of dimensions.
  • Enable more colour schemes for charts.
  • Percentage calculations.
  • Enterprise data to be exported out in qvf files.
  • Difficult to put in numbers, but definitely in terms of time or man hours, there is savings as the templates and dashboard saved staff time in churning regular facts and figures required.

Qlik Sense is especially suited for high level reporting where dashboard of important key performance indicators can be created and with appropriate filters, the presenter can sift through data quickly and present important points to the audience.
If the need is to analyse data or simple data operation, then perhaps Qlik Sense is slightly less intuitive compared to say Excel or Python.
