QlikView Software

Pros

How is it too easy to use to present your data in a chart.. which helped me a lot for making decisions

Cons

I think that tableau has more features than Qlikview

I mentioned above - we needed to consolidate, analyse and use data for managing 13 hospitals. There were various ERP systems, HR systems, clinical systems, etc, so we had to implement interfaces and put all data on the same level, then automate the pumping of data, reporting, etc. (this was not in my current job)

Pros

User-friendliness of the tool while doing analyses. Many companies use excel, pivot tables etc., but once you discover how easy and fast it is with Qlik, you will love it. It is also possible to use it for free, with limitations, so you can test it. We have implemented this tool in hospitals, from where we needed the data to be collected on 1 place and then analysed. Normally you have a problem, that you have various sources of data. Each hospital is using different information system (ERP, clinical IS, HR system, etc), but once you set up bridges and automate the interfaces, you will have the same level of data quality from all sources. An the the fun begins.
Especially great is the speed of drilling in data and adjusting the dimensions, because often analysis is about discovery, not a reporting the same charts on and on.
Simply great tool.

Cons

Maybe only that it takes some time to learn how to use it, but compared to many other systems it's good. also you have to learn how to code in data interfaces (there is also a good wizard for that) or you can find a consultant for this (even online), not even this is not a big deal.

I use QlikView to manage the performance of my business, centralizing the data from more than 10 different sources. It´s amazing and easy to use.

Pros

This software is really powerful. Dashboards, processes, tables, automatic analysis and more in one simple tool. I´ve used several softwares and I chose QlikView overall.

Cons

It would be nice to have more design possibilities to make it more modern. It Looks Old

Pros

Great for tracking all KPIs associated with paid advertising.

Cons

The only con with Qlikview is that if you leave a report untouched for a few minutes the server will disconnect, causing you to restart your search.

We use the free version of QlikView to give every user in the office access to all our data. Without it, their only option for viewing and analyzing data is to either look at each constituent record individually, or pull huge spreadsheets out of the database and hope the data they need is there.

Pros

The free version is fully featured. While it's a pain to deploy, everyone in the office can get a lot of use out of it.

Cons

The UI is super clunky, the fonts aren't smoothed and to have a truly useful product, you have to be your UI designer.

Qlikview enable us to create high performance statistical dashboard which help us provide great user experience to our clients. Another thing is the drilldown capabilities you can have this easily and without scripting or coding.

Pros

I like the most on this software is the creation of formulas for your chart object. it enable you to create formula on what you imagine. You can get the computation the you need. Another is the performance, For me this is the fastest data visualization tool i have used.

Cons

I think the only cons of this software is the price. Its pricey but it worth it.

Good overall experience - prefer the features of Tableau

Pros

Ease to load data
Visual presentations
Drill-down capabilities

Cons

Difficulty loading large amounts of data

Pros

Qlikview provides a platform for data analysis that integrates high levels of flexibility which allows for broad application and usage by large cohorts.

Cons

While Qlikview is very flexible it can also be somewhat clunky or challenging to navigate in terms of getting the precise data required because of the myriad of controls and options.

Pros

The easy to use and customize. Qlikview allows you to develop different dashboards and tools to analyze data. The tool is very useful in filtering data and comparative analytics.

Cons

The tool can slow down and crash often depending on the size of data its processing. Not sure how to enhance the tool to avoid this and it sure beats Microsoft Access/Excel, but there are data constraints.

Performance, easy use, less maintenance required.

Pros

Dashboard Designing made so easy in this Tool.
Bunch of formatting options and features.
Scripting capabilities took this tool to next level to build more complex dashboards in a simpler way.
Implementation and maintenance is so easy compare to Business Objects.
Data integration, mapping capabilities, drill functionalities are too good.
In Memory capabilities gears up performance.
Another big advantage is, just one product.

Cons

Not that great when you work with data sources like BW and Big Data.
R integration is not possible.
For Detailed reporting is it not the tool preferable.
If you are looking for a great scheduling and publication capabilities you may not like this tool since this requires a separate setup like NPrining etc..

Pros

What I liked the most was the functionality to compress the data to a level that allows you to handle large amount of information without affecting the performance. This same functionality makes the files take up less space on the computer. The most outstanding functionality of this application is the possibility of analyzing a large amount of information dynamically, since the graphics are updated in real time, as you select filters or specific data.

Cons

What I liked least about this software was the way in which the data is loaded, since it is done through a script that if you does not know the basics in the database can be complicated. The other thing I did not like were the graphics, because they are not so attractive, they look old.

Pros

1. Qlikview's capability to handle large volumes of data is really good. It reduces the size of datasets to one-tenth of original size when converted to QVD formats.
2. Strong data management capabilities
3. Adaptors available to connect to a variety of data sources

Cons

1. Visualizations and user interface is not as great as other competitive solutions - can be improved
2. Doesn't have "Activity" feature which Tableau has - when you click on a graph/data point, you move to another graph in some other dashboard - this becomes very interactive when you want to present the effect of one thing on another
3. You need to know a bit of programming language to use the tool completely

I prefer QlikView!

Pros

QlikView (to me) is the best Business Intelligence tool to get your data in real time. Have a friendly presentation, I like the way to present de results. Just drag your click on your graph and you have more information.

Cons

I can't find any inconvenience in this product, I don't have any cons to say. I like to work using QlikView.

Using QlikView has helped me produce nice graphics that are completely zoomable to the end user. QlikView also has some nice graphical and analytical capabilities that help me communicate my message.

Pros

QlikView's data visualization options are nice, although not best in class. The way QlikView offers zoom in capabilities is much better than any other data visualization tool I've ever used, and the ability to share analysis is great.

Cons

I had an enormous difficulty connecting QlikView with various data sources, although once connected, the system works fine. QlikView's graphics are a little different than other data visualization tools - like the zooming - which are sometimes an advantage and sometimes a disadvantage.

It help me to analyze data and use data discoveries to support decision making.

Pros

QlikView allows us to rapidly share information in a predictable way. It is credited with bringing in-memory analytics mainstream.

Cons

QlikView relies on drop down menus and this seems a little antiquated in this day and age. It scored slightly below the survey average in customer support.

We're able to compile client data in secure reports and transmit quality data in a secure fashion with proper controls in place.

Pros

The support I receive is always prompt and helps to address my concerns. I feel like I'm working with smart people who are fully capable of helping me solve my reporting problems.

Cons

Probably the most tricky thing about using Qlikview is that you have to be intelligent enough as an Administrator to get them the information they need to create your report writing... hopefully if you're running a business you have someone who understands your reporting and IT frameworks well enough to communicate with the Qlikview team to help them know your business/industry/reporting needs.

Pros

QlikView enables associations get more information from the data have, a particular term, and it gives you fast results

Cons

No form controlling is accessible and parameter records can be utilized for information associations. distinct absence of specialized assets when you are not managing deals and money related information Qlik Sense should update few functionalities

Pros

The tool is able to slice and dice the data of our sales into numerous different ways to look at the data. I like the visuals of the interface, making is simple to understand.

Cons

The program seems to take a long time to refresh after every click. Also, it would be nice to be able to set it to not pull the data and work, until you have made all selections. Not sure if this might be a functionality we did not turn on, but it should be standard.

Brilliant if you have had the correct training!

Pros

Can pull in data in its rawest form and make sense of it by creating charts, lists, graphs.
You can design and develop almost anything and can link in other pieces of data from Excel or tables files sat on the server.

Cons

This is not the easiest software to use and will require extensive training which in itself. Since using this I have had 2 separate training courses to get my head around the coding and scripting side of it. The design part os easy if you have someone already transforming the data for you.

Pros

Qlikview has an exceptional data mapping engine which makes setting up data sets a breeze. You will be up and running in no time, connecting to your data and viewing information in any one of a variety of formats.

I've only been using the product for a reasonably short time, but this provides a lot of flexibility to allow users to control the data which they would like to see.

Cons

I've found QlikView to be really easy to use in most areas with the exception of making changes to views once configured. The UI could be a little more user friendly when considering how and when to make changes as an administrator.
