Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Qlik Sense from other similar products?
Qlik Sense stands out for its powerful associative data engine, which lets users explore data freely without being limited by predefined queries. It’s also known for strong self-service analytics, interactive dashboards, and smart AI-driven insights, making it easy for both technical and non-technical users to discover hidden trend's.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What do you dislike most about this product?
The biggest downside of Qlik Sense is its steep learning curve for building complex data models and custom visualizations. While it’s great for end users, setting it up and customizing it deeply often requires skilled developers or consultants.

Try the free version, get training, start with clear goals, and plan to scale as you grow.

Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Qlik Sense from other similar products?
Qlik Sense can easily gather information from different places, whether it's stored in our office or up in the cloud. This makes it really useful because it doesn't matter where our data is.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Qlik Sense is fantastic because it empowers me as a business user. I don't have to depend on IT or data experts to create reports and dashboards. It's like having a tool that speaks my language, allowing me to explore and understand data independently.
What do you dislike most about this product?
In my opinion, Qlik Sense can be a bit challenging when it comes to creating highly customised reports and dashboards. You often need to understand scripting and expressions, which can be a bit technical and difficult to grasp, especially if you're not a tech expert.

Start by doing simple tasks with Qlik Sense to get used to it. As you get more comfortable, you can try out the fancier stuff and explore the advanced features.
Pros
- Performance Enhancing
