Rated 4 out of 5 by KamalNaithani from The initial setup is not very complex. You can do a lot in the back end which is not possible in the other solutions. What is our primary use case?So the primary use case of QlikView, I have worked with financial maintenence.What is most valuable?You can do a lot of things at the back end which are not possible in the other solutions in the market.What needs improvement?Tools that can be improved are:* Visualization charts* Pricing* UI transparencyFor how long have I used the solution?One to three years.What do I think about the stability of the solution?The Qlikview is quite stable in comparison to other solutions.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?It is a very good scalable solution.How is customer service and technical support?The tech support is strong. The logs of the documents are helpful.Which solutions did we use previously?I have some prior experience with Power BI and Qlik Sense.How was the initial setup?The initial setup is not very complex, it is on a moderate level. If others compare it to other BI tools, they may find it complex. But it was not a problem for us.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market.Which other solutions did I evaluate?There are features of QlikView that are not available with Power BI or Tableau. There are activities on the back end that work better in QlikView.What other advice do I have?You can do a lot of things at the back end that you cannot do with other competitive solutions.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jhornber from I would never propose QlikView, or any other single tool, as THE definitive data visualization and dashboard tool for every organization, but it did best meet our particular needs. Valuable Features1. QlikView Scripting - Takes some time to learn, but it is very powerful. Not as a total ETL replacement tool necessarily, but as a supplement to load and join data sources, perform additional transformations, add supplemental inline tables, and even at times, output a final .txt/.csv for consumption by other tools (even Tableau!). I've combined as many as a half dozen data sources including data from multiple SQL Data Marts, Teradata Data Marts,Source System DBs, XLS, CSV, and Google Big Query.2. Design Flexibility - While other products may do drag and drop, ad-hoc reporting analytics ( http://www.itcentralstation.com/categories/reporting-tools ) better. (Including Tableau, and Qlik's new product QlikSense) I've not come across one that better supports the creation of a polished, packaged, custom dashboard, that supports what I'd consider "guided exploration", and best meets the needs of our user base. The customization can be taken even further through in-house built, or borrowed, extensions (e.g. Custom D3 Visualizations).Improvements to My OrganizationWe have gradually reduced laborious manual reporting in Business Units and "spreadmarts". We now have some executive using QV dashboards in weekly review meetings, in place of spreadsheets and PowerPoints. While it does take some time and IT involvement to initially develop and deploy a solution, the payback is immediate. In one particular case we were able to eliminate a days worth of manual work with a QlikView solution that required a few days of development effort. We also previously had no way for end users to routinely and easily analyze larger (100 Million+ rows) data sets, which now can be done through QlikView.Room for ImprovementNo out of the box mapping capabilities (Extensions/Plugins available).No auto-scale for different display resolutions/dimensions, but the trade-off here is the much greater design flexibility than one gets with a Grid based product.Would like to see a few more visualizations available out of the box (e..g Bullet Graph)Very rudimentary report creation and PDF capabilities No scheduling or distribution without Publisher product.Use of Solution2 1/2 yearsDeployment IssuesNone.Stability IssuesNone thus far, but have a relatively small scale implementation (30-40 Users to date), on a single server (196GB RAM, 15 Core). Our largest data sets are in the 100-200 Million rows. Dashboards deployed to the server perform very well, but working with data sets that large locally (on QlikView desktop) may start to lag, depending on your hardware. Being a in-memory tool, desktops and laptops should have at least 8GB RAM, though even more is preferable if working with very large data sets.Customer Service and Technical SupportCustomer Service: Customer service was/is excellent.Technical Support: Our need for technical support has been minimal, but when needed it has been great. The overall Qlik Community is phenomenal. Many problems can be resolved through the community channel. Users often provide example files one can reference or reverse engineer.Previous SolutionsPreviously used an older Domo product (Centerview). The product was no longer supported. It was very flexible, but also very labor intensive. Data had to be fully prepared outside of the tool ,and every interaction had to be defined. Development time was weeks vs days in QlikView.Currently also using Tableau, depending on the particular use case.Initial SetupStraightforward setup. Connected to Active Directory to manage users.Implementation TeamIn-house with some set up assistance provided by the Qlik sales support team.Pricing, Setup Cost and LicensingServer is Apprx $35K initial cost, plus 20% annual maintenance/support costUser licenses are $350 or $1500 depending on license type(plus 20% annual maintenance/support). This can get costly if you have a very large user base.Other Solutions ConsideredSeveral. If interested see my post http://www.itcentralstation.com/articles/i-evaluat... ( http://www.itcentralstation.com/articles/i-evaluated-business-objects-tibco-spotfire-tableau-qlikview-sisense-prism-and-pentaho )Other AdviceI would never propose QlikView, or any other single tool, as THE definitive data visualization and dashboard tool for every organization, but it did best meet our particular needs. Organizations with more data-savvy, self-sufficient business users may find a product like Tableau, or Qlik's other product, QlikSense, to be a better option.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by John Mac Kintosh from Transformative. Lightning fast, flexible and a breath of fresh air Valuable Features:Ability to connect and transform data from a variety of sources into the same application. From an analytical development perspective, there is a wide scope to create complex calculations within chart expressions, (including recursive expressions), which, combined with the trellis functionality, means more output with less setup effort.A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting.Finally, it really is a case of data instantly updating upon selection. No more watching an egg timer as a server churns away.Improvements to My Organization:Meetings are now proactive rather than reactive with analysis conducted straight away. We're making better informed decisions - and more of them!I have automate a complex set of analysis within a matter of days (as a relatively novice user), that had taken weeks, with less useful outputs, in other software.Room for Improvement:Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect. It would save time troubleshooting errors that don't exist when the script runs or charts render.Use of Solution:1 year, but not a heavy user - though this will change!Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Patricio Honore M S from ?The search feature provides the ability to see related data. Valuable Features:* The search feature: ability to see the related dataImprovements to My Organization:We were able to see tremendous insight in our sales dashboard at deployment.Room for Improvement:* Data cleansing* Better source data connectorsUse of Solution:I have used it for 2 1/2 years.Deployment Issues:We have not encountered any deployment issues; we had an experienced deployment partner.Stability Issues:We encountered a memory issue.Scalability Issues:We have not encountered any scalability issues.Customer Service:Customer service is outstanding.Technical Support:Technical support is great.Previous Solutions:We previously used Tableau. We switched because the business requested Qlik.Initial Setup:Initial setup was pretty easy because our implementation partner understood our current data source (SAP).Implementation Team:A vendor team implemented it.ROI:The time gained from reviewing massive data can be used elsewhere.Cost and Licensing Advice:Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited.Other Solutions Considered:Some of our users were on Tableau.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Shabaz Shaikh from We implemented applications that combine CRM data and sales data from two completely different data sources. It's the first step towards big data. Valuable Features:Extraction from almost all data sources provides a lot of value to me. Ease of operation, data modelling and creating dashboards with simple objects and the abundance of visualizations are also valuable.We extract our data from SAP BW as well as Update 7 data source. Extracting and associating these data to form Main Data Model is quite simple. The objects that QlikView provides can be used to make complex KPIs for visualization. Apart from these for visualization, we also implemented many extension objects of Maps with our QlikView applications.Improvements to My Organization:We managed to implement applications combining CRM ( https://www.itcentralstation.com/categories/crm ) (Customer Relationship Management) data and sales data from two completely different data sources. It's the first (small) step towards big data. CRM data comes from Update 7 and sales data comes from SAP BW, which made it tricky to combine them and make common navigation possible.Room for Improvement:I would like to see JavaScript or jQuery features added to it.Dynamic changes with respect to page scrolling, responsiveness and actions related to it are what I am expecting in the next version.Other than these, while adding named CALs in QMC, it would be really great if we could load all of the names from a single file (for example, an Excel sheet) together all at once.The iPad application lacks some features. For example, container box object functionality does not work properly in iPads.Use of Solution:I have been using this solution for more than 13 onths.Deployment Issues:We had issues. After deployment, while extracting data from SAP BW, a timeout error occurred many times. We haven’t found any solution for it. So, we have to keep reloading the job on QMC until it gets successfully reloaded for the day.Technical Support:Franky speaking, I have never contacted technical support.Previous Solutions:I did not use a different solution before Tableau. This is the first tool I have used for BI.Initial Setup:I was not involved in the complete setup. However, its installation using multiple transports and connectors is quite straightforward.Implementation Team:We implemented it with the help of a vendor team. (QlikTech)Other Advice:Deployment and configuration of this tool is very simple. The tutorials that come with the installation of the product are very helpful with creating dashboards and learning about the product in short time.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevin Sheridan from SQL scripting provides the fastest way to pull data into the system. Valuable Features:SQL scripting, as it provides me the fastest way to pull data into the system, since I’m more on the technical side.Improvements to My Organization:It has made our processes for collecting and presenting data easier, especially with regard to old spreadsheet mentalities.Room for Improvement:Their marketing department is heavy-handed, more so than it really needs to be. This can turn companies off when they get too aggressive. Their pricing structure doesn’t match their aggressiveness either, costing an end user $1500 for a web-based license.Use of Solution:I have been using QlikView for about 11 months.Deployment Issues:Their set criteria is a mystery of legends. I still, after a year, need to pull up a wizard to type up a set expression. It’s not intuitive at all.Technical Support:Technical support is very good, with an exceptional user base. I’m largely self-taught on Qlik because of their community and the breadth of their support on-line.Previous Solutions:I previously used Microsoft BI ( https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/microsoft-bi ) tools, but as a company we were too far behind the curve to take advantage of their latest technology in the BI space. Upgrading to Office 2016 is not something a Fortune 500 company is going to do overnight.Initial Setup:The desktop component was straightforward. I didn’t set up the server component, so I can’t speak to the publishing.Implementation Team:An in-house team performed the implementation.ROI:No definitive ROI, but an enterprise license would go a long way towards adaptability and acceptance.Other Advice:QlikView and QlikSense are powerful tools that require IT and BI expertise to take full advantage of. True BI utilization is not just dragging fields and creating graphs. It requires deep knowledge of data utilization and visualization. Qlik ( https://cdn1.itcentralstation.com/vendors/logos/x80/qlikview.png?1417094215 ) can provide that, BUT at the cost of additional IT or BI expertise.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
