Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use QlikView to combine data from several disparate spreadsheets to analyze and report our market share with our distributor customers throughout the world. "Distributor Customers" is the primary key among the spreadsheets. Since we have over 100 distributors, it would take me a long time to do this analysis and reporting without loading it into QlikView and creating a chart.

  • letting users slice and dice data quickly and easily
  • easy to customize formulas and fields to display exactly what you want

Cons

  • The user interface could use some refreshing so it looks more modern
  • The reports that you print out could be more attractive
  • Connecting to and retrieving data from Salesforce CRM could be made easier.

  • You can use the free desktop version to do a lot of reporting and analysis work more quickly so the ROI is huge
