Qlik Sense Likes & Dislikes

The product provides allows for a dashboard experience with prebuilt visualizations and measurements, etc., while enabling access users to download data for deeper exploration. This allows multiple use cases to be solved with a single tool.

Most liked part is the quality of the product, the free and paid version both is almost same.. Even the free demo product comes with all the paid features.

- Strong expertise in qlik data modeling and dashboard desing -fast and solution, oriented support team -effective communication and guidance throughout the entire projecet process.

The AI features do not always offer relevant options or deliver the intelligent results that are expected. This is tough to explain to users. In addition, the build process requires complex data modeling that takes time to build expertise in.

1. Costly 2. Not beginner friendly. 3. Free demo is optional.

- Support and technical assitance response time can be slighty longer during peak project periods (Only technical side) -Some advanced features in qlik dashboards require additional guidance for new users. -minor delays in documentation updates after implementing complex solutions

Qlik is the tool that brings everything together, it unifies our data, standardizes our processes, and serves as our reporting system. More than that, it has become our way of working.
