Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

Qlik Sense gave me easy, fast, reliable, safe and convenient access to our large data warehouse. We currently use it to audit our data and check for anomalies or missing information. We also use it to create graphic reports for our clients, this has put us ahead of our competitors and we are looking to optimise this further. Future plans would be to implement it within other areas of our business to help our managers have an easy one page view of how their team is performing, inclusive of call times etc.
  • It is extremely fast, data that used to crash my computer when working in Excel is now at my fingertips in a second!
  • It is extremely intuitive to use and user friendly. I self-taught how to use Qlik and have gone on to teach colleagues all of whom have picked it up extremely quickly - some of which have no data background at all.
  • It's suggestions are brilliant, when putting data together it will suggest a table that it believes may be the best way to display that data - and pretty much always, it's right.
  • I love the 'buckets' feature but when we started loading more data into the system, this feature didn't work anymore, the loading times were immense to even get into the page that displayed the bucket creator.
  • These reports have put us ahead of our competitors.
  • We have discovered fundamental errors in our data that we have now addressed, so our data is more accurate now.
Qlik is more cost-effective than Power BI and is also far more user friendly.
I'd recommend Qlik to any company that deals with data and perhaps hasn't got anyone on the team that is proficient at SQL or Excel. This is a great tool to do the hard lifting for you and really analyse the data from above, rather than getting lost within it.

I'd say the only time it isn't worthwhile is if a company doesn't have a wealth of data, or if the data they deal with it small. Other than that, I think Qlik can be used in so many different ways across a business it's hard to think of a place it wouldn't benefit.
