Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Purchased to use as an ad-hoc reporting tool for C-Suite executive staff. We were paying for an analytical tool to give us insight into our volumes as well as our competitors within our locale. Microsoft's reporting tool did not provide a dynamic tool for these analytics, so we felt we could leverage the representation of this data with Qlik.

Pros and Cons

Dynamic rendering on filters.

Poor query performance/latency issues.
Automated refresh of the dataset.

Return on Investment

The product is definitely under utilized in our organization.

Alternatives Considered

Price point.

Other Software Used

Microsoft SQL Server

Likelihood to Recommend

The ease of dynamic filtering for end-users is great. However, the design and implementation were lacking. We engaged a reseller to stand up a typical query and did not find that exercise to be a benefit. Perhaps this was due to a hardware/software configuration or minimum spec issue. The implementation did not go well, and I still find myself falling back to SQL queries to produce reports in an efficient manner.
