Qlik Sense Enterprise

Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense

Qlik Sense is used primarily by our Delivery and Testing Services teams to track and manage customer health, margin analysis, a view of bugs over time, and project progress. We are currently rolling out more functionality to the sales and sales support teams to better track territory coverage, manage prospecting activities, and whitespace analysis.

  • We were able to get off many disparate sheets across the company and migrate them to Qlik, saving time and allowing for us to be more efficient.
  • Qlik has become the place where everyone gets their data. Having this trusted source has allowed users to do their jobs more efficiently.
  • We were able to get rid of other tools that didn't work as well as Qlik which saves the company money.
We evaluated Domo, Tableau, and Qlik Sense. We chose Qlik because of it's ability to better work with multiple and large data sets. Qlik Sense has the ability to concatenate all measurable (fact) data into a single table instead of needing to create multiple fact tables. This keeps the data model streamlined and everything related.
Qlik sense is well suited to working with large quantities of data from many sources. It is also capable of doing small stuff like balance sheets and sales pivots, but the real power comes from working with large data sets. Qlik has the ability to concatenate many data sets into a single fact table that allows all measurable data to be shown on the same screen in the front end. That is a huge differentiator for Qlik vs the other BI vendors.

One area where Qlik falls short is in the presentation of the data. The tables, charts, and graphs and don't look as good as some of the other tools due to a lack of formatting controls. To combat that, we purchased the VizLib add-on and that allows Qlik to shine on both the front and back ends.
