Reasonably priced and offers a return on investment
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution in terms of data analysis need to revolve around the speed that the tool offers. The product of analytical capabilities and the speed for all the applications are good.
What needs improvement?
The communication with the solution's sales managers in Europe is not the best, making it an area that requires improvement. My company usually gets no response from the tool's sales managers.
In Qlik Sense, some improvements are required in QMC since it hasn't improved much over the years. QMC is related to the management console, and though it works, it needs improvement.
Some improvements in the data load editor should be considered. The load manager has different sections, and it should be possible for the user to deactivate/activate code by commenting/uncommenting at a section level.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with Qlik Sense since 2017. My company has a partnership with the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
My company's customers who use the product are medium-sized municipalities, although some municipalities are large.
How are customer service and support?
I have used the community support offered by the product.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
I rate the setup phase a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one means it was difficult, while ten means it was easy.
I rate the product's deployment phase a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one means it was difficult, while ten means it was easy.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. We consider to move the product to the cloud.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is reasonably priced. You need to pay 5,000 Norwegian kroner per user. Microsoft Power BI is slightly more expensive than Qlik Sense.
What other advice do I have?
In terms of ROI, my company's clients in municipalities who use the solution are very satisfied with it.
My company noticed the AI functionalities associated with the product, but we don't use them.
My company's customers use the analytical capabilities offered by the product. The product offers virtualization in the form of line graphs, maps and bar charts.
I would say before using Qlik Sense, consider that its main competitor, Microsoft Power BI, also costs money if you want to deploy it for use outside of the organization. Though Microsoft Power BI pretty tends to be cheap, it is not. If someone wants to deploy Microsoft Power BI the way my company has deployed it, then it can be an expensive affair. Microsoft Power BI pretends to be a free tool, but it is not available for free.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Easy to use but needs to improve the user interface part
How has it helped my organization?
I remember that a pharma company wanted a BI solution to represent or to create their own reports based on the data from Qlik Sense and the customer data.
What needs improvement?
Qlik Sense is not meant for writing something from the user interface, which is a major challenge because our company wants users to interact with the reports and to input some comments or data that should get stored into some database. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.
With Qlik Sense, there is a need for it to provide good performance because if there is a large volume of data, then its performance becomes slow. User interaction or user experience is not that great in that case if the data size or reports are huge. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product. Right now, we are trying to follow up with some best practices recommended by Qlik Sense, but to be honest, it is not helping us much because we have very large data in a single application, and we are struggling with it.
The product should have an interactive and friendly user interface.
The use of APIs is not as friendly as it should be in the first place, especially when considering Python scripts and all other scripts, making it an area where improvements are required. There should be some easy way to integrate the product with the aforementioned areas.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Qlik Sense for four to five years. My company has a partnership with Qlik Sense.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are no such issues with the stability or performance of the product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Considering that I have worked with other products like Power BI, I don't see any scalability issues with Qlik Sense.
The user base is quite huge. For a single application, we have different dashboards or applications where the user base for applications or dashboards is different. In any case, the larger user base for a particular application consists of 200 or 300 users.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with Microsoft Power BI. Microsoft Power BI's self-service analytical capabilities are quite easy, which is a great addition to the product. For the data modeling part, I don't need a script, but with some drag and drop options, one can do it, but that is not the case with Qlik Sense since a user needs to have knowledge related to scripts.
How was the initial setup?
It is not very easy to implement the product since you require some technical skills.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The time taken to deploy the solution depends on how complex the requirements are. For some use cases, considering the requirements, it may take six months to implement. If the requirements are easy, the tool can be implemented in a few weeks.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
My company plans to switch from Qlik Sense to another solution.
Mainly, my company wants a product with writeback capabilities.
What other advice do I have?
In terms of the areas that have proven to be the most useful in data analysis needs, I would say that I am currently looking for the writeback extensions now because something our company wants to input a few things from the reports and that should get stored either into the QVD files or either into the database directly.
The product is easy to use in our company, and it is used widely in our customer base. In my company, we don't see any issues with the product.
Trying to integrate Qlik Sense with other third-party solutions has been an issue for my company because the APIs that we use to integrate the tool with other solutions are not easy to use. In terms of APIs, the tool has become complex, and now our company is finding it difficult to integrate Qlik Sense with third-party tools, that has become quite complex for us because it requires the use of APIs, and it is not easy, especially when considering that we have limited knowledge of APIs.
I am not aware of the administrative side of the product since I mostly work on the technical part associated with it.
Whether I would recommend Qlik Sense to others or not depends on their use cases. If the data size and all those things are not the concern, I think Qlik Sense is a good solution. In some other cases, other solutions apart from Qlik Sense may be a good fit. I am not aware of the product from a functional point of view, but technically, if the user base and data size are huge, Qlik Sense can become problematic.
Speaking about how Qlik Sense supports our company's AI-driven decision-making processes, I can say that the tool currently serves our company's purpose, and we are currently looking deeper into the product since we want it to be easy to use and we also want the data size issues associated with the tool to the resolved so that it is able to fit into our needs.
My company did not exactly want the product to be integrated with other tools, but we did want to create and go for a mash-up, which can be accessed by other users, and I felt it was something that was difficult.
I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Offers robust scripting capabilities and highly stable solution
What is our primary use case?
The scripting in it is very strong. So, I use the Qlik Sense for scripting.
What is most valuable?
I like to develop steps in getting a solution for any application, and they have a lot of time, and the application is very efficient.
It offers good control.
Loading the logs is also a good thing.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in some ways of increasing the power of visualization. The current visualization features feel incomplete compared to what's available with scripting tools.
The current visualizations feel limited. They lack the variety and richness needed for diverse applications. I'd appreciate more options for visually representing data.
More customization options would be very welcome.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a very stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is easy to scale.
How are customer service and support?
We use support from the community.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not complex. I didn't find it complex. There is Qlik Management Console (QMC) for managing.
What about the implementation team?
It's not complex, so it doesn't prevent anyone from starting to work with it. Just by being familiar with it, you can use it.
Two people take care of the deployment. It takes around two to three months to implement the solution.
It is easy to control and maintain.
What other advice do I have?
It is a good tool. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would recommend using this solution.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
