I believe that thanks to its scalability it is suitable for medium to large companies. The complexity of the proprietary language and the link with scripting make it not very accessible to small companies, where however it is certainly less necessary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer support is also very fast and clear, so no question is left behind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qlik support is awful: it takes multiple days if not weeks to respond to any simple request, you have to constantly hound them for updates, the support staff is not knowledgeable about the product, and, perhaps most infuriatingly, you have to get into the habit of providing a ton of additional information which you'd *think* they would definitely already have every single time which is not requested in the ticket submission form, because if you don't, the first reply from the rep (usually about a week after you submit) is "could you please provide your license number and tell us which instance you're running on" etc. I can only assume they really don't *want* to be providing support and have created a system which is hostile enough to users that they hope it will discourage its use.

Initially sold on the ease of drag and drop visualization, and ease of tying data sets together, but the amount of training and coding experience/knowledge needed to fully utilize the tool even in an elementary fashion was not made fully clear during the vetting/review process. Should an organization have the right person in place or the ability to dedicate training time to the tool this would be great solution. Training time is extensive though and should be planned for during the vetting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qlik Sense Enterprise is used by two divisions of our corporation and is used by the majority of the departments within those organizational entities and in a very self-empowered way. We have other business intelligence applications (from other vendors) as well that allow MS Excel Add-in functionality to review enterprise performance results, but for visualizations and dashboards, we selected Qlik Sense as the preferred tool in that domain. We segregate the creation of enterprise quality transactional system sources of data so that the QVD files (i.e. data warehouse) is one layer managed by IT Support staff (including myself) but once the datasets of the correct data quality are made available as QVD files then the business staff in any of the departments has the access to build visualizations and dashboards from the data contained in those files in any way they see fit (including the blending of datasets as appropriate with either other enterprise-quality data or with their own spreadsheets).
Qlik Sense reports the data from the QVD files really well so the end-user experience is always optimum. Hardly any wait time is ever noticed at all which is magnificent compared to some other products in this space. The fact that Qlik Sense is also already fully mobile device-ready is a big bonus. Other applications have to have different variations either declared upfront or at least tested but Qlik Sense works really well whether via the designated proprietary Qlik Sense Mobile App (from the App store) or just in a standard browser like Safari. Data ingestion times are really optimum too since millions of records can be added to a QVD file in only a few minutes. This helps our organization with optimizing the overnight loading window. The background loading tasks scheduling is also user-friendly and robust with good error logging and failure/success monitoring available. We use SAP for transactions and SAP BI for data warehousing so it is very useful to also use Qlik Sense along with the proprietary Qlik Sense SAP Connector so that data can be retrieved as datasets from BW Query results. This helps leverage all our investment in the BW modeling including the full SAP BW query catalog when ingesting data into the QVD files. At the same time, the SQL connector can retrieve data from our SAP HANA database with ease too. The ability to develop on the iPad is also a bonus that is often not available in other tools in this domain. The security modeling is relatively easy to maintain and integrates well with our Azure identity management system. This all makes user management tasks very seamless and robust, ensuring that only those that really need access to the Qlik Sense system are granted hat access and if they leave their access is quickly revoked.

Qlik Sense is used primarily by our Delivery and Testing Services teams to track and manage customer health, margin analysis, a view of bugs over time, and project progress. We are currently rolling out more functionality to the sales and sales support teams to better track territory coverage, manage prospecting activities, and whitespace analysis.

There are users set up to access it across the organization, but only a couple of people use it. I am admittedly a novice, but I'm looking into training resources in order to build dashboards. Because our database is limited in its ability to do a lot of reporting, I'm hopeful Qlik Sense will help with some of the things I'd like to do.

We use it as a reporting platform for data that is collected and reported back to our members, which are health systems. The business problem that we are trying to address is to gather and display data that can be accessed by our members across the country.
[In my opinion] access for users is horrible Branding for the organization is non-existent; we have to send the 'invitation' from the director's name.

We extensively used Qlik Sense to deliver analytics and technical consulting services to mobile operators across Europe and Asia. We are not a reseller of Qlik Sense but we promoted Qlik Sense to an operator by showing its flexibility. Unfortunately due to close to zero support from Qlik Sense we are seriously considering other BI solutions.
More sophisticated and flexible base graphical components. Sales support from Qlik Sense practically disappeared. Nokia is simply not able to buy from Qlik their products. Requests and e-mails asking for resolution of this problem ASAP was simply ignored by Qlik since [we got a new] contact person. We get the impression that Qlik is not a future-proof product, they are about to abandon its customers and disappear from the market.

Qlik was deployed as an enterprise solution to data visualization and aggregation in the cloud.
Our most important Qlik reports notoriously fail to load or sit on a loading/spinning icon indefinitely. If a Qlik report loads, end users have no idea what they are looking at or how to interpret the data. When a Qlik report has problems, the team in charge of fixing them has no capacity to work on these fixes because they are occupied with other responsibilities. Our organization does not regularly allow end users to reach out directly to Qlik support, as this is supposed to be handled internally with IT teams reaching out when needed.

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.

The overall Qlik Sense experience can be positive, with a few bumps along the way. On the plus side, Qlik Sense's simple drag-and-drop interface allows even inexperienced developers to create visually appealing and interactive dashboards and reports. The software also includes a plethora of resources and tutorials to help users get up and running quickly.The learning curve for some of Qlik Sense's more advanced features and functionality, on the other hand, can be steep, making it difficult for junior developers. Furthermore, when working with large data sets, the software's performance may slow down, which may be an issue for some users.

Qlik Sense is problably one of the quickest if not the quickest BI solution to implement. With Qlik Sense we were able to design and implement advanced business apps within days. The ability to go back and forth between data sources, data modeling and dashboard within the same interface enables a seamless production of even the most complex KPIs.

An easy and intuitive way to create storyboards for everyone to understand, parting from relative large and difficult to understand and analyze data. The main benefit was a simple way to create quick charts which served as main discussion point with co-workers to make better decisions. So basically a great way to display business information.

Great tool, easy to get started in your environment with the free trials. Easy to manage with Azure and overall cost effective with a low or high user count. Medium sized it is more costly than other solutions, unless you plan on eventually ramping up to 500+ users and can then leverage the token pricing model.
