Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
We are using Qlik Sense cloud solution. It is being used across the whole organization. It mainly use to evaluate primary health care program performance and monitoring purpose. Also the insight is used for department of health reporting as well. IT gather business needs and develop visualization and produce reports/dashboards to business users. Self-service was not used efficiently so all the needs will go through IT.
- Smart search capability.
- Self-service.
- Smart visualization and analytics.
- Reports and dashboard export capability. There are lot of improvements need to be done this section. It is not possible to export whole dashboard into one pdf or power point without much hassle. Storytelling feature is working well with PowerPoint. Every time we have to adjust it when re publish the dashboard. We have to export page by page for PDF exports.
- Subscription feature is missing. We want to automate report subscription to users inbox. But this feature is not available. Anyone want to view the dashboards, they have to log in. Managers and higher managements don't like to login to Qlik Sense to get reports. They rather prefer getting reports and dashboards directly to their inbox.
- Qlik data model: for non technical person, it is difficult to manage Qlik Sense unique data model. Language and scripting is different. Have to learn it separately.
- Lack of single sign-on capability. Users have to login to Qlik Sense with it is own credentials. This is one of the main drawbacks. We have office 365 login. It would be great If we can login to Qlik Sense with office 365 login so we don't want to remember the login details.
- Matrix visualization chart is not up to the mark. We can only do very little from the Matrix table. Lot of features could have given here. Cannot customizable well compared to other BI tools such as power BI and Tableau.
- I would say positive impact would be it is a good tool with great visualization capability.
- It was so easy to apply filters and navigate common filters across all the dashboard pages without handling it with mapping and relating to rest of the tables. Qlik Sense manages it for us.
- Lack of sharing options made negative impact. It is difficult to export the dashboard to PDF or PowerPoint. If it is PowerPoint, we have to go with story board. That has so many issues.
Ability to manage multiple sources. Advance Qlik Sense data model.
