Brilliant piece of software for business reporting!

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.

QlikView is good, and makes it easy for my work to be shared with other individuals.

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.

Qlikview: An Analytical Tool

PROS

This is an excellent analytical tool with below best suited features: 1) Flexible chart design 2) A lot of charts and plenty of minutes properties to configure the chart. 3) Power of custom expression using a expression language called "SET ANALYSIS". This enables a better control on data transformation and manipulation. 4) Script editor where in Data Layer can be defined, designed and managed. 5) Nice client server architecture so that report designed can be easily published over to web and access can be controlled easily through management console. 6) Qliksense, a cloud model, is a best thing qlikview has.

CONS

It's nothing like bad things but good if it has few features (that other BI tool has) 1) Data management should be more user friendly. Right now it is in script editor. Someone with good knowledge of Relational Database can easily handle this but a programmer knowledge is must. End users or non technical person may timid to start with qlikview as they will find it hard to start with. 2) Too many properties and configuration available. (It's not a bad thing at all as it gives more flexibility) But many configuration can be easily clubbed together systematically and user do not waste time to find the properties configuration. Meaning configuration should be simplified and structured. 3) Desktop should be as neat and clean as qliksense. Qliksense is way par than desktop in terms of User interface.

Overall a good analytics tool at a good price/value point

PROS

The tool is very easy to use, highly intuitive. It also performs very fast in working though large data sets. I am a daily user and couldn't be happier

CONS

The tool could be better integrated with other office productivity tools, especially as it relates to the MSFT office suite

PROS

QlikView makes it easy to create sales and inventory dashboards, so we can stay on top of our top KPIs.

CONS

Tinkering was needed to build the right reports/dashboards for our needs. Technical know-how to execute some of the initial set up and data feeds.

Excellent BI software to visualize data

PROS

QlikView is a very powerful BI tool that's relatively easy to use and is really fast and responsive. It's flexible and very easy to manipulate to produce any sort of result imaginable. I also like how easy it is for the software to gather information from the different softwares we use. This ability to combine data sources helps to create complex reports.

CONS

QlikView uses lots of system resources and tends to impact performance. Though the free version is quite capable and usually enough for most people, upgrading to the paid version is not cheap at all.

Application to do Business Intelligence

I use Qlikview to put together the documentation to present in the QBR with the clients. It saves me a lot of time since with a few clicks I access all the graphics I need. It is excellent for correlating information on a single dashboard.

PROS

Qlikview can combine data from various sources with high performance and generate excellent executive and detail graphics based on needs. It also allows you to share control panels with all users for your own control.

CONS

The printing of graphics and dashboards only with Qlikview are not the best. An additional license is required to use Nprinting. This substantially improves the graphics, even allows you to directly assemble Power Point presentations with this information.

Business oriented dashboard and analytics tool

We use dashboards to visualize complex datasets and drive strategies for corrective actions in the case of interventions in the healthcare sector.

PROS

We evaluated this tool for our needs and found it more than adequate for our organization's needed, although I feel this is much more suited to a firm running an ERP. Fast and in-memory processing, scheduled batch jobs for ETL and an amazingly intuitive interface, what's not to love?

CONS

Integration was easy, since we use Stata for our analytics and Excel for our data files. The tool is great for dashboards for premium users, such as CFO, CEO and other C-suite executives.

Using the Free Version, Qlikview provides a ton of value

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.

Create your own reports!

- Automating of reports distribution and creation by connecting to the DWH - We may avoid the BI, CI team

PROS

There is possibility of a ucstomization of the reports and processes by a VBA or other programic language. We created a based solution for our reporting almost without a trouble, but most of them wasn't directly based in QV (connection, distribution of reports,...) Another good point is that there is a wide user group over the internet, so you may save a lot of time by just searching and also the support forum and web managed by QV. QV also suporthing students for they thesis, as they did also for me.

CONS

- As everything, the beginnings are tough, but it takes a time and it will ring the desired fruit - Missing some function in free version (but this is understandable)

A New way to look at old data

Overall, we have been very happy with our QlikView purchase. It allows us to easily provide insight into our data warehouse for manager and executive level users. While the majority of our usage is reporting on a weekly basis, Qlikview provides the ability to dig deeper and find new business insights into the data than we would otherwise have been able to.

PROS

Ease and speed of implementation are what I like most about our Qlikview deployment. Compared to other Business Intelligence products, Qlikview is a breeze to set up due to its ability to load in data from multiple data sources quickly and easily, with little more than slight changes to an import/mapping script. For users already familiar with the data, importing into Qlikview is quick and easy. Additionally, and importantly, changes to the data dictionary (adding, removing, or modifying fields that you're watching) are very easy to make, and don't require starting from scratch. This sets Qlikview apart from most other Business Intelligence software we considered.

CONS

Qlikview's biggest strength - it's unique way of linking data together in ways you wouldn't have thought of on our own -- can also be a weakness, as it requires a different way to thinking about data than most users have experience previously. However, the color-coded column fields indicating related fields and data links become second nature to users once they are retrained and have a bit of experience with the software.

Reason for choosing QlikView

Qlikview was chosen for its quick setup time and low cost in comparison to other Business Intelligence tools on the market. We liked being able to setup the data warehouse and imports on our own, rather than having to employ contractors whenever we wanted to make a change.

QlikView is a powerful, flexible BI visualization toolkit that lets you show your users what's in their data

QlikView is an excellent tool for data visualization. Developers can create intuitive solutions with relative ease.

PROS

QlikView has a positive 80/20 ratio. The first 80% of what you need to know (everything you need to know for most visualizations) can be learned in 20% of the time. The remaining 20% (complex expressions, extensions, and other advanced options) takes 80% of the time to learn. A skilled analyst can sit down on day one and create a useful, meaningful QlikView solution. An advanced user could spend years learning new possibilities and creating more advanced offerings.

CONS

QlikView is an "in-memory" BI tool, which does offer speed and data manipulation capabilities. However, the data model is loosely managed. If it's not structured carefully, loading and processing times become unnecessarily long. The underlying model could be strengthened and otherwise improved to help the platform scale to larger projects.

With very less/minor effort we can build attractive Dashboards in no time. Cool formatting features.

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..

Easy to use, Not so easy on the eyes though

We're using Qlikview within almost all of the departments in the company. From finance to HR and Garages. we see it as an essential tool for the group activity.

PROS

triggers, On load, On open, etc. easy to manage load tasks using the QMC task tree.

CONS

User activity monitoring is a bit of a lack. unable to export a list of all currently licensed users. it's especially difficult if your using DOC licenses, you to go from app to app to see the licensed users for the particular app. also the UI getting a little old, the newer Qlik sense look much better. if you're considering moving to Qlikview from PowerBI or Tableau, Qlik sense will make more sense.

Like it’s little brother Qlik Sense, this program works well.

We absolutely love the Qlik family of programs. They work well and do as advertised. We had decided to switch to the much-cheaper Qlik Sense but still occasionally use QlikView for the customers we already had in the system.

PROS

While this program takes some time to get used to, once you learn it, it’s a breeze. The ability to manipulate data to make it just as you want is a major plus. Many other programs restrict your ability to show your data in just the way that you want.

CONS

The price can be a bit much. They did listen and thus created Qlik Sense, but at the higher price point, you would expect this program to have the same features as its competitors, but alas, it is still lacking. Not too terribly much, but there are features that it really should have that it does not.

PROS

CONS

You need to model the data and create the QVD's for variety of the dashboards which involves a lot of scripting. Some of the features like R integration is not possible.

Have been using QlikView for 13 years. Love the product!

PROS

QlikView is extremely easy to use, user-friendly and developer-friendly. At the same time, it offers a lot of depth - when a complex solution is required, QlikView offers robust tools for your most intricate analytical needs.

CONS

After 13 years of using the product, there are many little things that I don't like. For example, while QlikView scales up very well to handle hundreds of millions (sometimes even billions) of rows of data, QlikView Server management tools are relatively simplistic. It's easy to manage a single server or a few servers, with a few dozen of reload tasks, but it may be difficult to manage many servers with thousands of users and hundreds or thousands of reload tasks. Having said that - QlikView is still one of the most well-rounded tools that offer a great frond end and a phenomenal back end in one package.

PROS

QlikView's unique in-memory, associative data engine makes it possible for an organization to gain insight quickly from vast amount of data. QlikView is trend setter in the business discovery space and a leader in the Gartner's magic quadrant for business discovery tools.

CONS

QlikView's visualization capabilities are not as strong as one offered by Tableau but Qlik Tech is addressing that with a new product -- Qlik Sense. It has yet to be seen how QlikView and Qlik Sense will work as a suite. Qlik Tech has yet to articulate their long-term vision for QlikView and Qlik Sense.
