Indeed, in terms of data-driven decision-making and reporting (in addition to QlikView), Qlik Sense offers end-users the very best at their fingertips for creating and managing interactive dashboards.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-qlik-sense\">What is Qlik Sense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Qlik Sense<\/strong> is a data visualization solution, but also a BI (<a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/introduction-to-business-intelligence\">Business Intelligence<\/a>) solution developed by the publisher Qlik and launched in 2014. From data integration to visualization, it facilitates the analysis and gathering of information from <a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/distributed-architecture-definition-and-relationship-to-big-data\">Big Data&#8217;<\/a>s exploitable data sources. In this sense, revealing relevant information is much simpler, making it easier to share knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more,<strong> Qlik Sense<\/strong> makes the task of processing and understanding data less arduous, as analysis can be carried out in groups thanks to its associative engine. What&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s easier to find answers to the questions companies ask themselves, thanks to a more summary process, enabling them to deduce their own conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/qlik-sense-data-analyse.jpg\" alt=\"qlik-sense-data-analyse\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-differences-between-qlik-sense-and-qlikview\">What are the differences between Qlik Sense and QlikView?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, both applications are very effective when it comes to extracting information from data. But while they offer very similar user experiences, there are a few differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Qlik Sense<\/strong> is a more intuitive and easy-to-use tool than QlikView. The latter offers a more guided user experience, reducing the <a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/the-evolution-of-data-insights-data-science-vs-business-intelligence-in-the-big-data-era\">freedom of analysis somewhat.<\/a> For users who want to start with predefined analyses, QlikView is the best option. <strong>Qlik Sense<\/strong> is better suited to users who want to create their own analyses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-qlik-sense\">Why Qlik Sense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like<strong> QlikView, Qlik Sense<\/strong> offers numerous options for data analysis. In fact, this<a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/dataviz-definition-objectives-and-uses\"> dataviz<\/a> solution has nothing but advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Facilitates <a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/analysis-of-variance-anova-a-basic-tool-for-data-analysis\">data analysis<\/a> by enabling data integration from different sources, whether databases, operational systems, data sheets or web data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intuitive, thanks to its drag-and-drop function, which makes work much easier and faster for the user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allows you to create interactive dashboards, making data storytelling far more comprehensible to the<strong> stakeholders responsible for decision-making.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The various presentations, whether tables or diagrams, are interconnected to present decision-makers with quality diagrams and much more precise information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A responsive design that enables users to work on any device (computer, smartphone or tablet) and have their data interpretations available, anywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/avantages-qlik-sense.jpg\" alt=\"avantages-qlik-sense\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-qlik-cognitive-engine-what-is-it\">Qlik cognitive engine: what is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Qlik Sense has undergone a major transformation in its latest version, and now incorporates a cognitive engine based on new Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence capabilities. This enables the cognitive engine to become more intelligent over time, continually learning from user interaction and other sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These new Qlik Sense <a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/boosting-business-with-3-essential-machine-learning-algorithms\">Machine Learning capabilities<\/a> are primarily intended for use in Qlik Insight Advisor, so that the latter can generate and suggest the best analyses and information to be explored through insights in a fully automated way. The process depends entirely on the user&#8217;s data set and search criteria. In this way, it is possible to suggest relevant information to be presented to stakeholders. This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/unraveling-machine-learning-vs-deep-learning-key-differences-explained\">Machine Learning comes into its own<\/a>, as it learns from the user&#8217;s analytical interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can train the Machine Learning algorithms through manual creation of analyses, modification of the cognitive engine&#8217;s suggestions and feedback. The cognitive engine also learns from additional reliable and governed sources such as business rules defined in global libraries and Qlik artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-saas\">What is a SaaS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/navigating-the-cloud-unraveling-the-concepts-and-mechanisms-of-hybrid-cloud\">Cloud services<\/a> are classified into three types: IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. In the case of<strong> software as a service (SaaS)<\/strong>, a provider offers software or applications in the cloud to interested customers, including companies in all sectors. In this way, those organizations that need the program for a certain purpose don&#8217;t need a local IT infrastructure on which to install it. They can easily access it via a web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, installing software on a computer required the use of a CD, not to mention all the energy wasted on constant updates and maintenance by professionals in the field. A SaaS service emancipates itself from all these difficulties. The supplier provides all software updates free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/qlik-sense-saas.jpg\" alt=\"qlik-sense-saas\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-qlik-sense-saas-work\">How does Qlik Sense SaaS work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Qlik Sense is a data analysis platform packed with innovative features. Its SaaS version is divided into two categories:<strong> Qlik Sense Business and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS.<\/strong> Cloud data applications are important factors in a company&#8217;s development and growth, and to achieve the best results, it&#8217;s essential to have tools capable of optimizing analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex is-content-justification-center wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/courses\/\">Master Qlik Sense with Liora training courses<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is Qlik Sense?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Qlik Sense is a data visualization and Business Intelligence (BI) platform developed by Qlik that helps users integrate, analyse and visualise data from various sources, making it easier to uncover insights and share knowledge.\u00a0([turn0search0])\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How is Qlik Sense different from QlikView?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Qlik Sense is more intuitive and user\u2011friendly than QlikView, offering greater freedom to create custom analyses, while QlikView provides a more guided experience suited for predefined analytics.\u00a0([turn0search0])\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Why use Qlik Sense?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Qlik Sense facilitates data analysis with features like drag\u2011and\u2011drop integration, interactive dashboards, responsive design for any device, and interconnected visualisations for better decision\u2011making.\u00a0([turn0search0])\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is the Qlik cognitive engine?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"The Qlik cognitive engine incorporates Machine Learning and AI capabilities to learn from user interaction and suggest the most relevant analyses automatically through Qlik Insight Advisor.\u00a0([turn0search0])\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What does SaaS mean for Qlik Sense?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"SaaS (Software as a Service) refers to cloud\u2011based software delivery that lets organisations access Qlik Sense through a browser without installing local infrastructure, with updates provided by the vendor.\u00a0([turn0search0])\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How does Qlik Sense SaaS work?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Qlik Sense SaaS offers cloud versions such as Qlik Sense Business and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS that provide scalable, hosted analytics and data applications accessible via the web.\u00a0([turn0search0])\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n<\/script>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to data analysis, Qlik Sense is currently the most talked-about data analytics platform, not least thanks to its greatest asset: its data visualization tools.
