Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

It is used across the organization by our Data team. Qlik Sense supports a range of use cases, including centrally deployed guided analytics apps and dashboards, custom and embedded analytics, and self-service visualization, all within a scalable, governed framework.
  • Centrally deployed guided analytics apps and dashboards.
  • Custom and embedded analytics.
  • We like the enhancements that Qlik has done over the years starting from QlikView to Qlik Sense to QlikInsights. Our users have embraced the use of Reports and Dashboards that we have been able to provide with Qlik.
  • We have been using Qlik Sense for the last four years encompassing the whole Qlik suite. Going forward, we would like to see more advanced analytic offering from Qlik and also the ability to customize the tools that would fit our needs (e.g., Streams, Substreams, etc.)
  • Faster turnaround with respect to providing access to Data and Reports. Ability to provide self service to the end users has resulted in providing the analytic features at the users fingertips.
We have used SAP BO in the past. As part of evaluation, we evaluated Tableau and Power BI.
Qlik Sense is well suited for creating Reports and Dashboards for analytical needs with good interface and graphical support. However, Qlik Sense is not very well suited for real time analytics and reporting.
