What is Qlik Sense?
Qlik Sense is a tool for information analysis that allows you to make decisions based on data analysis of your ERP, your multiple Excel files or even web pages and social networks. Qlik Sense connects to everything so that all that you have to do is dedicate your time to analyze and make decisions.
Qlik Sense represents a major improvement in terms of usability and usage of intelligent business platforms given that through their reconceptualization of data viewing, we can access information more intuitively while discovering new trends more rapidly and more efficiently. One of its greatest virtues is the easy creation of customized data, reports and dashboard viewing. Qlik Sense enables anyone to create easily flexible, interactive views which boost exploration and discovery through intuition.
Any user at any level can shape his knowledge with Qlik Sense, since it is not necessary to elaborate scripts or complex codes.
- The drag and drop technique lets us obtain appealing views
- We can share and reuse data, metrics and objects.
- Progressive creation helps make display creation as simple or as sophisticated as we wish.
And once you need to present the information to your collaborators, it allows you to broaden the shared knowledge thanks to data narratives and mobility and promote data accuracy and reliability through its corporate governance capabilities, which convert it into a true first class product.
“Drag & Drop” view to reveal hidden knowledge
Qlik Sense offers intelligent displays, which reveal all existing relations between different dimensions of data. These relations reveal us knowledge which, otherwise, would remain hidden in traditional data models based on inquiries and hierarchy. For example: if you start from the highest level of pooling in a traditional BI model you can reach the details, while in Qlik Sense, you can use the traditional level, proceed in reverse order or discover unimagined interaction without having to rebuild the whole dashboard for that purpose.
Smart Search is the ultimate thing in flexibility
You don’t know where to start searching? All you have to do is enter any text in the search field and Smart Search will connect the spots. You will discover relations between places where you wouldn’t have even imagined looking, giving you ideas along the road.
Exploring multiple sources of data in a single app
Qlik Sense can connect multiple sources of data without affecting its performance. It is capable of including data entries in real time in order to furnish more exhaustive views. For example: Currency exchange hasn’t been updated on your ERP? No problem! Qlik Sense connects to any web and converts your currencies at the daily rate of the day your invoice was created.
Anywhere, any time, on any device
Problems and needs can emerge at any time and in any place. On many occasions we need to connect from different devices: from desktop to tablet and from tablet to telephone. Qlik Sense adapts automatically to the devices we are using without losing its features. Wherever you are working, you will get a response in real time. And if you use Apple devices, no worries, Qlik Sense will work just as well on your devices without you having to acquire additional licenses or software.
Great visual richness in data narratives for collaboration and knowledge sharing
Qlik Sense offers a data narrative feature which lets you share analysis in a very visual way. Letting the team get to know the discoveries is simpler and a great help when it comes to working together more efficiently.
Good data governance and simplicity of self-service
Anyone can create displays, but not anyone can guarantee that the reflected data and libraries are good and safe. Combining QlikView and Qlik Sense guarantees us good data governance and the chance for every user to carry out reliable analysis.
