Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

I know that Qlik Sense is used by various managers in Operations and Quality. For the Operations department, they view Lab Specific and Customer Specific trends (revenue and volume data). For Quality, it is used as a Global data access tool - compiling all Quality Metrics in one App for Top Level managers and Quality managers to view.
  • can handle various data sources - Oracle, Google Sheets, etc
  • clickable chart objects provide easier filtering
  • view data table behind any chart object
  • customizing charts could improve - add more options
  • downloaded excel data file should remove all formatting - manually updating this is a pain at times
  • add more customization to the Stories

Do you think Qlik Sense delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Qlik Sense's feature set?

Yes

Did Qlik Sense live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Qlik Sense go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Qlik Sense again?

Yes

  • The one Qlik App I created has saved me hours of manual work compiling Customer Specific reports.
  • Since we have used Qlik Sense, more internal users have access to view the same data at any given time. Before, everyone had the "same" data but from different sources with lead to conflicting results.
  • For Global Quality's Qlik Sense App, I know it's a huge time-saver to view the same metrics across labs across all countries at once.
Qlik Sense is great for reviewing internal data with other colleagues. When we want to share any data with our customers, we currently download and copy/paste the data and charts/graphs screenshots to an Excel or PPT file. The few times that I shared a "LIVE" Qlik App to a special client during a conference call. I had to be careful navigating so I would not expose sensitive data (information about other clients) to them during the call.
