The interface is very simple and easy to use with drag and drop features. Business can easily create custom reports > > **Cons**: Its visualisations needs more like the native charts..I feel that it does not match with its competitors here. > > overall it is good.. in general very easy to use. I like the fact that once the data is presented the user can easily manipulate it ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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 ----- ### "A Comprehensive Look at Qlik's Data Visualization Software" — 5.0/5 > **Christian** | *18 January 2023* | Newspapers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Qlik Sense is an incredibly powerful data visualization tool. It allows users to quickly create interactive dashboards, charts, and graphs that are easy to understand. The software is highly customizable, giving users the ability to tailor the visuals to their preferences. It also has a wide range of data sources and connectors available, making it easy to access and integrate data from multiple sources. > > **Cons**: One potential downside of Qlik Sense is its pricing structure, which can be quite expensive. Additionally, the learning curve can be steep for those who are unfamiliar with the software, making it difficult for users to get up and running quickly. > > Overall, Qlik Sense is a great data visualization tool. It is highly customizable and provides a wide range of data sources and connectors. The software is quite expensive and the learning curve can be steep, but once users get the hang of it, they can create beautiful interactive visualizations with ease. ----- ### "Cetralised analytics ready data in a cetralised location" — 5.0/5 > **Willem** | *22 June 2020* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Qlik Sense have enabled us to use more of our data and bring the data together in Dashboards that were a very difficult task to achieve in the past using spreadsheets. Using spreadsheets made it difficult to analyse tracking data where you ran out of space before you really got started. > > **Cons**: After initial setup we got in creating connections to uncommon databases that proved very difficult to get setup in Qlik. > > We have been able to move away from spreadsheet based reports where we had various manipulated versions of the data that were not up to date and took hours to prepare to a centralised reporting platform that is updated on a regular basis ready for the users to use and act on the insights gained. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/5845/qlik-sense?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/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
