I like that it is user friendly, drag and drop feature makes it easy to run ad hoc reports. Love the line item detail and notes feature in the templates.

Great experience for me. We have a dedicated business systems resource on our team who helps a lot.

The ability to integrate reports directly with system data pulls is a very nice feature that can help reduce the complexity of workbooks.

I like the functionality of the program and ease of use.

It makes month end easier. Great customer service team always there when help is needed.

Collaboration can also be difficult, as the individual models are fragile and must be updated online.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Once set it is good and there are no worries.

Upload of transactional data allows for greater degree of self-service research of budget variances on the part of budget owners.

The interface is pretty dated. I also mainly use chrome as my browser and there seems to be a lag time when scrolling in a template which is a bit of a pain.

I like being able to quickly and easily navigate to what I need. I like the user interface and options given upon login.

Host Analytics has greatly improved our team's capability to quickly consolidate & close each month.

Getting benefits in terms of financial analysis and setting up consistent reporting standards.

I dont like that to complete certificaiton, all users have to attend real life class.

I originally got into Host for budgeting and it has been great for that, but I have found it great for many other things. I also love the way it can grow with me.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Not all the modules have the same reporting tools.

Good planning tool that integrates well with excel.

Customer service is second to none. In my 30+ years in planning and analysis, I have never found a team so dedicated to ensuring their customer's success.

I was never able to go live. Never got any value out of it and they made me pay for 2 years.

It's extremely user friendly, easy to use, and allows our team to quickly consolidate, close and provide detailed financial reports each month.

The inability to do calculations in the report without creating a new template. Also as we are on Macs the inability to use spotlight in Mac Excel.

The planning tool helped us standardize our budgeting process and we're very impressed with the workforce planning module that helped us easily managing our headcount and compensation estimate.

We love the ease and flexibility of the tool. The monthly releases mean that the product is constantly making improvements.

A data pull is not immediate and can cause some frustration if data is not pulled 100% accurately the first time.

Our planning process runs more smoothly and efficiently again with less errors. We are able to consolidate our plans quicker.

OVerall is a great tool for the ease of standardizing and managing  our reports.

In itself the efficiency gains of this has offset the adoption costs by a considerable amount.

The software's support model is horrific. Qlik uses value added resellers (aka VAR) for the most part.

Strong Technology, Great Support. Very easy self service capabilities enabling 3rd Gen BI.

Now we just open Qlik Sense and we know it, the overall profit of the company, also per costumer, brand or even product.

There is a lot of material to learn and a good community. Allows you to build your own datawarehouse using Qvds.

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 tools to help visualize data and also to help promote self service to management team.

Only thing I can criticize is that the name is confusing for some people in business unit. It is obviously chosen intentionally but they keep confusing Qlik with Click.

Good for having automated reporting and moving away from complex report builds & production.

Which has improved our scope and insights as well as improved our decision making.

The best thing about Qliksense is the speed with which it can analyze and associate large volumes of data.

After initial setup we got in creating connections to uncommon databases that proved very difficult to get setup in Qlik.

Qlik Sense was very good for introducing performance reporting across a large workforce, with varying degrees of responsibilities & therefore access levels.

Qlik Sense is a powerful tool that allows you to monitor the evolution of your management indicators, it has interactive graphs that allow the user to analyze the data intuitively.

The customer support is very good and responsive. A given report can be utilized as a base to make another report so it saves your time to convey necessary info in minimal time with top outcomes.

Great integration with ERP systems and great mobile deployment options.

The product is easy to use. Our users love the speed with which we can now deliver dashboards and analytical reporting.

Integration with business processes was good, and deployment was relatively easy. Ability to produce some nice looking reports for the workforce to help manage performance.

Qliksense has a great interface for building GUI. Also the ability to use custom extensions allows a lot of flexibilty.
