Qlik Sense Enterprise

Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

We use Qlik Sense across the organization for both strategic level dashboarding and operational/department-level dashboarding and reporting. We currently have around 200+ dashboards in production touching nearly every department. Some dashboards are very small, purpose built to track individual business processes, while others are large, 80 million row data models encapsulating large swaths of the business.

Pros

  • Qlik Sense provides one of the most flexible data modelling experiences with Load Script and the Data Manager.
  • Qlik Sense continues to iterate on the user interface and provides new charts and features regularly.
  • Qlik Sense provides a true Enterprise-level administrative experience, especially for managing security.

Cons

  • Qlik Sense and NPrinting integration is weak and getting printable documents requires more effort than it should.
  • Qlik Sense can offer better support for notifications around failing tasks.
  • Qlik does not always publish a robust feature roadmap and there is some confusion on features between Enterprise and Cloud.

Would you buy Qlik Sense again?

Yes

  • We have recognized a lot of value from being able to visualize our data in a rapid fashion.
  • We had some difficulty porting QlikView to Qlik Sense during integration but more recent tools alleviate some of that pain.
  • Many departments are clamoring for dashboarding, and it has allowed us to introduce more data literacy across the organization.
Qlik Sense offers the most flexible and deepest data modelling compared to many other competitors. The scripting language offers a ton of options which allow us to manipulate complex data scenarios. The scripting is robust and is something missing from many competitors. The data manager is a friendly alternative which mirrors the main things available in competitors.
Qlik Sense Enterprise is an ideal BI solution for mid- to large-scale organizations, especially those with many on-premises data sources. The overhead of administration would make Qlik Sense Cloud the better platform for small organizations or those who have already moved much of their data infrastructure into the cloud. The robust data modelling allows many wildly different data sources to be cleansed and organized with robust flexibility.
