Overall Satisfaction with QlikView

I use QlikView to combine data from several disparate spreadsheets to analyze and report our market share with our distributor customers throughout the world. "Distributor Customers" is the primary key among the spreadsheets. Since we have over 100 distributors, it would take me a long time to do this analysis and reporting without loading it into QlikView and creating a chart.
  • aggregating and filtering data from disparate data sources
  • letting users slice and dice data quickly and easily
  • easy to customize formulas and fields to display exactly what you want
  • The user interface could use some refreshing so it looks more modern
  • The reports that you print out could be more attractive
  • Connecting to and retrieving data from Salesforce CRM could be made easier.
  • You can use the free desktop version to do a lot of reporting and analysis work more quickly so the ROI is huge
  • QlikView is great at finding outliers such as data entry errors
  • QlikView is great at helping you quickly discover new insights about your business that can prompt you to take action that can immediately affect your cash flow.
QlikView, Tableau, and Sisense are all very good BI tools for analysis and reporting. Tableau was better at intuitively matching fields of disparate data and more visually appealing, but I think QlikView is faster. Tableau was also easier for someone to use to build and modify dashboards and reports but I think QlikView allowed BI users to do more as long as they are able to to do a little bit of SQL coding. Sisense and QlikView looked pretty similar.

Did QlikView live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of QlikView go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy QlikView again?

Yes

I have successfully loaded and analyzed data from html webpages with other data from spreadsheets. QlikView is very easy and intuitive for end users in finance, operations, sales, or marketing to use. I have not encountered any situations where QlikView was not able to handle the amount of data I needed to report/analyze, but if I worked for a Fortune 500 company, I am told that I could run into issues with data volume.
