Overall Satisfaction with Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is used across the whole organization to help our manufacturing plants to collect and access data easily and quickly. It also helps automatize a lot of excel reports and save time for people in order to analyze data instead of just preparing it. We now use it for our safety, Quality, Logistic, Production, Sales, Human resources KPIs. This system is a huge help in terms of centralizing a lot of information in a common place.
- Qlik Sense is very user-friendly and does not request strong coding knowledge. A non-IT person can easily take control and manage this platform with some training. Only SQL basics are enough to start. Plus the drag and drop system to create charts is very intuitive.
- The Qlik community is huge and when we have a problem that we can't solve it is usually very simple to find the solution online. Plus they have a training program and documentation online which is very helpful and useful.
- This system allows you to set up your own ETL process and data warehouse if you do not have too much data to handle. The QVD files which are specific to Qlik Sense are very easy to understand and convenient to use.
- More charts and visuals would be a plus. Also, some objects do not have enough options to color the way we want (filter / button / combo chart for example).
- Adding the option to have a box text when we hover an object would be great as well.
- A write-back function integrated into the platform would be a plus. Some company proposes an extension that we have to pay, but if Qlik could offer this for free it would be a great plus.
- Maybe in the future adding some algorithm and statistics to allow to do some predictive analytic would be a huge plus.

- Once an app is published and running good, we can quickly see the time we save to analyze data.
- It's hard sometimes to realize the money we save by using this system.
- People start understanding the power of data and asking more questions.
We got lucky and started our analytic journey with Qlik directly.The whole organization was using only excel before and some of the IT people knew about QlikView but not doing much with it. We have been trying Power BI but this is really nothing we can compare to Qlik Sense in term of what the product offers as a technical feature and user experience.
Qlik Sense Feature Ratings
Evaluating Qlik Sense and Competitors
- Product Usability
Qlik Sense does not request strong IT knowledge, which is a big plus for an organization to start using BI on a higher level. Also the documentation and the community online is very present and helpful. I personally do not have any IT or coding background and only thanks to online resources, I have been able to deploy and create a lot of helpful apps for business
I will change nothing. I'm very glad with my choice and don't think today there is a better product on the market.
