Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified
We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

Cons

"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."

"The look and feel of the charts and graphs can greatly be improved."

"Robust Version Control integration, limited in current versions Automated deployment between DEV/UAT/PROD environments, currently these are manual file-based operations More descriptive system metrics and lower-level diagnostic and performance metrics at the application level"
"The backend (scripting) needs improvement to be more like a real ETL BI tool."
"We actually use QlikView, which does not allow easy-to-use framework management."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
