Qlik Sense Enterprise

Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

Qlik is used to push reports out to line areas in an easy to use way. The usage of reports differs across business areas, with some preferring to take visualisations at face value, and others preferring to use filters to export relevant data. Specialised data areas are required to build the reports from SQL tables.

As a sweeping generalisation, I would characterise contract managers as the biggest users of the visualisation. Program managers will check the reports for accurate data, and will export the data for compliance and pattern checking.
  • Some of the visualisations are very convincing. I have particularly enjoyed plotting on maps.
  • Very easy to export data with filters.
  • Easy for anyone to build a report from a variety of sources.
  • I have not been able to publish a report just for my team (publishes only to a wider audience). This has limited its usage in my current role due to sensitive data.
  • Some of the coding language can be very confusing, requiring un-intuitive approaches to solve conditional problems (it has been a while since I have coded).
  • I would appreciate the ability to roll back to previous versions more easily - having multiple backups can be a hassle.

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

Not sure

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

  • In my current role, there is no uptake from the team to implement Qlik as BAU. This is due to the sensitivity of data, and no interest in setting up private access.
  • In previous roles, Qlik was BAU. It made it very easy to push reports out to contract managers automatically each week.
  • Our data team did often have difficulty solving some of our problems in Qlik. This meant some reports being delayed by many months, which impacted contract reporting deadlines.
I have no experience with similar products. All other reports were done in Excel.

Well suited when you need a report to go out to many different types of users with varying levels of data skills.

Well suited when you need to guide users to places they need to look at.

Not well suited as an initial place to explore your data, prior to building a report.
