Qlikview At A Glance
Product Overview
Please note that Qlik is encouraging current QlikView users to migrate to Qlik Sense via its Analytics Modernization Program. They can opt to continue to use QlikView for the foreseeable future, but QlikView is not available for new clients.
QlikView distinguishes itself from other BI tools through its unique inference engine, which maintains data associations automatically. As opposed to query-based tools, Qlik’s interference engine (known as Qlik Associative engine) maintains associations in the data automatically.
QlikView implements a Google-like search that also works in an associative manner, conveying results for the phrase and also for things commonly related to that phrase. An example of this “indirect” search would be if an end user needed to find out the contact information of a marketer for a company, but they didn’t know the name or the company, only what the marketer specializes in.
Relationships in data are easily illuminated with QlikView’s visuals. Relevant data, and important relationships, will be identified and highlighted in a given color, making for timely and efficient insights. Irrelevant data is colored gray to avoid wasted time.
Clients can customize QlikView with these following add-ons:
- Qlik NPrinting for reporting distribution and scheduling, including embedding reports within Microsoft Office programs
- Qlik Market, a marketplace of apps, connectors and extensions
- Qlik DataMarket that provides ability to merge internal and external data sources to give users a bigger picture of their data
- Qlik GeoAnalytics for advanced map visualization and location-based analytics
- Qlik Connectors for the ability to connect data from a variety of sources

Implementation/Integration
Qlik Consulting offers a dedicated project manager that works with the client on implementation.
The implementation process is broken down into three main phases:
- Discovery – The Discovery phase consists of a requirements workshop where the client’s internal team and Qlik’s project manager discuss the client’s goals and needs regarding the software. Other components of this phase includes feasibility analysis and a detailed project plan with budget, time frame, and resources.
- Execution – QlikView is developed during this phase and tested for quality control by the client’s internal team. Depending on the client’s needs, some components can be rolled out and tested in agile increments. Any data modeling and other platform configurations are also done during this phase.
- Deployment – In this phase, QlikView is rolled out to the client’s end users. Qlik also provide training services and documentations to the end users.
Customer Service & Support
Users can access the knowledge base for self-service articles and other resources, connect with other users via Qlik Community or submit a support ticket. Qlik provides 24/7 support availability for critical issues.
In addition, Qlik offers an optional Signature Success program for companies with unique requirements that need a personalized success plan, such as customized onboarding and training, a dedicated Customer Success Manager, business reviews, proactive assessments, faster priority tech support and exclusive access to Qlik’s product roadmap.

The filtering is well-executed, but some businesses struggled with end-users filtering and letting things unintentionally join, and either limit or multiply the results. While a great feature, it is easily messed up at the end user and developer levels.
Some also found it difficult for non-tech users to have access to self-service, which is seen by others as the tool’s greatest strength. In general, some users struggled to grasp the concept of filtering, and had trouble creating their own visuals.
