I would say that the entry cost can be the only limitation when implementing QlikSense. I would also recommend that the existing QlikView (older version) users should upgrade to QlikSense to enjoy the latest interface, user experience, easier implementation and additional functionalities. ----- ### "Best BI Solution for Large Data Sets" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *18 February 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Qliksense allows us to easily relate data from many data sources with little effort. We have deployed over 40 apps to the business that are used by hundreds of users from all departments. We are able to easily show both detail and summary information for all of our data sets. > > **Cons**: Qlik should spend more effort on allowing users to better format the visualizations and text within the tables and charts. We had to purchase a third party product called VizLib to to make it look better. > > We have millions of rows of data in our apps so we needed a BI tool that could handle the volume. Qlik is the right tool for us in that regard. The support from Qlik is frustrating to say the least. We end up going to our partner and paying them hourly rates for support rather than reporting issues to Qlik. Vizlib really makes Qlik shine, though it is unfortunate that we need a third party add-on to do that. Overall I would recommend Qlik and would look to implement it again in my next company. ----- ### "Good Analytical software" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 February 2023* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has all features making it easy to visualise the data > > **Cons**: The scripting language is different and it could be improvised and additional programming languages options can be added ----- ### "The best Bussiness Intelligence Tool I ever used" — 5.0/5 > **César Alejandro** | *17 February 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: You need some training to work in a efficient way with Qlik Sense, but once you know the tool, you can design complete reports wich allow obtain critical information about your bussiness fast. > > **Cons**: Maybe is more expensive than Microsoft Power BI > > We used to have problems to know the profit of the company. Now we just open Qlik Sense and we know it, the overall profit of the company, also per costumer, brand or even product ----- ### "Analyze data fast and make decisions quickly with Qlik Sense" — 4.0/5 > **Chirag** | *11 February 2020* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Speed. Qlik Sense loads data quickly into memory and analysis is stunningly fast. It is very easy to get the information you need quickly and begin to make decisions. Slicing and dicing the data is very fast as well. Having used competing software like Tableau, Qlik Sense is a breath of fresh air. There's no waiting time during analysis and that keeps a person focused on the application and gets the person curious about information being presented. > > **Cons**: The software's support model is horrific. Qlik uses value added resellers (aka VAR) for the most part. Most VARs I have talked to aren't exceptional and provide absolutely no valuable support after selling the software. They basically add zero value. Qlik has no idea what VARs are doing and VARs have no idea what Qlik is trying to tell them. Getting a license key correctly can take a few tries. Great software, horrific delivery. If I were the CEO of Qlik, I'd change the business model and remove VARs altogether and bring sales, marketing and support right into Qlik. > > Our goal was to have everyone reviewing business analytics in one spot and making decisions based on explainable data. We were Excel users for analytics at first. It was OK but we couldn't scale. We dabbled with Tableau. It was dreadfully slow and awkward. We demo'ed a couple more software and chose Qlik Sense due its speed, scalability and performance on mobile devices. Within days of using Qlik, our staff was able to convert 10 most used Excel dashboards into excellent dashboards that gave a much clearer perspective into business operations and finance. On modest server, we have been running Qlik Sense to provide enterprise-wide data analytics and our ability of decisioning has improved significantly due to Qlik. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/5845/qlik-sense?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/5845/qlik-sense) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
