Overall Satisfaction with QlikView

QlikView is used by the organization and addresses many points specially within Finance Dept. Used for reports, associations in the data, and the manageability it offers
  • Graphics-enabled presentations, graphic manipulation
  • Highly interactive applications, dashboards and reports.
  • Extracts data from sources such as Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, SQL Server and Excel
  • It's intuitive, fast, simple and easy to use
  • In essence QlikView helps users understand consolidating complex data, simplifying data visualization, and providing real-time access to analytics.
  • Business intelligence can create QlikView extensions, design business apps, and manage data definitions, this needs to be simplified and a bit more accessible.
  • Lack of single, easy manageable and scalable security model limits areas of applicability for QlikView. Currently, in order to manage user access rights one should set them up in various places.
Top data analytics software that will most likely turn into a key asset for any company.
Constantly being selected for its licensing and cost effectiveness, ease of dashboard Implementation, data management and manipulation, presence over web and ease of publishing, performance and speed managing data, charts and visualizations.
Data volume becomes larger day by day and the response time increases proportionally. QlikView can't scale horizontally and split processing of a query to several nodes. Data management should be more user friendly. Someone with good knowledge of Relational Database can easily handle this but an end user or non technical person will have a hard time.
