Pros
Seemingly Strong Product offering that CAN help a company save time and potentially $ PTO is generous Traditional In person training opportunities are rare but worth it The people- Before the several rounds of layoffs in the last year.
Cons
Mainly men in top leadership roles and seemingly many of them are oblivious to the boots on the ground. Process, buildout and rollout are not fully baked nor easy to convey. Small essential actions difficult to trouble shoot and definitely not self explanatory.(customer facing) Qlik struggles with Streamlining for effectiveness and efficiency. It is time consuming to get resolutions and it’s always a difficult feat. If our own internal Qlik apps are never working properly- how do we expect and insure our customers apps are? Qlik portrays the image that they help companies remove data silos. It is unbelievable given the level of complexity to uncover who does what and how to overcome obstacles and the amount of silos that exist within Qlik. Enormous outdated learning architecture and customer interface. Painful and confusing with outdated static content. There isn’t a means of standardizing the information and learning that is disseminated. Sometimes the content is adequate, sometimes excellent and other times abysmal. The productivity is lacking due to complex workflows and teams. If someone is OOO then their projects go dark until they are back in office- no matter what the circumstances. Constantly moving targets both internally and externally without proper rollout. Sales leaders are poor communicators- they are slick in what they say but they don’t really say anything that is useful. Qlik claims to be a change maker yet their foundation is built on dinosaur bones. Change takes too long when you witness problems and you are at the bottom. If it’s not something that a Director or Executive endorses, forget it- and it’s obvious that they are missing important pieces of the overall customer and partner experience. The entire UI experience is cumbersome, too many platforms, and antiquated. Marketing has missed the mark repeatedly on messaging and packaging. They pump out new colors and graphics without the complete awareness/understanding of targeted audience and goals. It seems they are effectively removing anyone middle aged or above.
