Vizlib

Pros: Vizlib is a very easy going tool to develop dashboards and gain more insights out from your data. It really takes your reporting to next level in Qlik when plug the Vizlib extensions. Its entire product offerings from visualization to collaboration and to data management makes it as a one stop solution. It has become a very crucial part of our reporting & analytics and is being extensively supported by developers, product design team and even end user expects a high quality reporting.

Cons: Bit flexible with licensing model, especially the enterprise licensing model to include full suite of collaboration, finance and general visualization.

Pros: The Vizlib Library and Self-Service modules offers a lot of visualizations that are highly customizable. This helps BI developers create stunning dashboards that tell data stories instead of just simply plotting the data.

Cons: The only thing I can really think of is that Vizlib's products are not cheap. I work in a small data analysis team in a large corporation. It took some convincing before management agreed to purchase the license for Vizlib instead of using the native Qlik Sense visualizations.

Pros: full suite offering all additions for Qlik to be used to its full potential. Saves developers time, makes dashboards and data apps easier to use and allows to simplify the tech stack with standalone bespoke solutions.

Cons: Sometimes the fast pace of adding new feature neglects testing and ensuring all existing features remain working properly, causing disruption to existing apps. Sometimes this is quickly patched by Vizlib but sometimes it can take longer leading to reluctance to upgrade more frequently.

Pros: Vizlib is an intuitive tool that can be easily deployed to your existing qlik sense product offering. Vizlib allowed our company to fill critical gaps in custom reporting capabilities within qlik, and empower our end users to quickly and efficiently build custom reports on the fly. The sales team at Vizlib is extremely communicative and made the testing and implementation phase easy for our company.

Cons: During the testing phase, we did find some bugs that needed to be worked out. We did initially get some hesitation from their dev team, but after some back and forth we were able to prove the issues we were seeing were in fact there. Also, Vizlib was recently acquired by insight software. While mergers aren’t inherently negative, it is relatively early and the direction of the company could potentially change.

Pros: ease of use and the extended features available

Cons: Writeback and Vizlib Management Console is tricky

Pros: Qlik Sense users and developers know that along with phenomenal data crunching engine and robust performance, the user interface is quite "pre-packaged" with mostly pre-defined visual settings such as fonts, colors, formatting options, etc. This was done with the goal of making the tool as user friendly as possible. Vizlib brings the (lacking) control over the look and feel of the dashboards back into the hands of professional dashboard developers. With Vizlib, your Qlik Sense dashboards will look nicer, have more intuitive navigation, allow data entry and writing back to a database, allow collaboration and self-service, and more and more and more...

Cons: The price for increased control is having to deal with more settings. Naturally, all the settings that control look and feel, take time to go learn and manage on every dashboard. So, the least pleasant part is scrolling through hundreds of settings, looking for the right one. Vizlib mitigates the problem by having templates with pre-defined settings and default settings that come with every object. Also, the ability to search within the Settings forms, helps a lot with the task of finding the right setting when you need it.

Pros: Really happy how easy is to install the extensions and develop advanced reports beyond in-a-box possibilities in Qlik Sense. Vizlib brings in features that are in day to day use in our own reporting and in several customer environments. The Self Service package really unleashes the true do it yourself -capabilities with reporting. Twist and turn your data to every possible angle with ease.

Cons: It would be nice if the subscriptions would carry on without a yearly confirmation to continue, confirmation for cancelling would be nicer

Pros: I am a big fan of the products, being able to add that extra context to the visualization to help the readers of that visualization actually understand what they are looking is the main reason With the value adding products we can add more variety in the reports that we create for our readers, users. Love the fact even, that we van discuss improvements of visualizations, or give ideas to work on for the future.

Cons: Sometimes, but I know it is constantly on the top of mind, the loading of the product (sometimes it is a bit slow)

Pros: Easy to deploy. Easy to use. Great functionality. Amazing visuals, features and customization. Definitely a must have for everyone using Qlik Sense (especially SaaS). Qlik Sense is a great tool, but it lacks a lot of depth in several areas. Vizlib covers all those gaps and takes your analytical environment to a whole new level. (By the way, the support is amazing)

Cons: Vizlib is super flexible and adaptable. The sales and renewal processes… not so much. They tend to change the rules often and you can’t buy the number of licenses you really want. It’s a bit annoying.

Pros: I just love the Self-Service capabilities in the Custom Report Extension. This is really "Self-Service for dummies!" Anyone can create their own add hoc analysis

Cons: I want more, please add a hieararchy chart.

Pros: Writeback and self-service take the product into a different league

Cons: So many options, that sometimes it's hard to find exactly what you need

Pros: It gives possibilities that Qlik Sense just doesn't have. It enriches the user experience. Also new features can be requested via the support of Vizlib and they respond quickly and with the right expertise.

Cons: While Vizlib offers great extensions, not all of them have the best performance. Sometimes you can push the Qlik Sense objects to a next level instead of switching to Vizlib.

Pros: As a Consultant we need lot's of properties, well have a look at Vizlib's properties panels and you know why we love it, and the fact that there is vizlib a search filter on the properties says it all! Lot of properties means a lot of features, so for a consultant vizlib is like a candy box.

Cons: what i still don't like is the fact that there still is a Climber part and a Vizlib part, so Self Service is climber and the other visual are vizlib library. I think they should be merged into on license and the visual part for climber (example Toolbar) should be taken to the Vizlib high level standard, and maybe some vizlib components should functional be on the Climber level.

Pros: This suite offer a lot of features that permit to extend the standard Qlik dashboards with a tons of powerful extensions and customizations.

Cons: The licensing model could be more flexible, adding a single user license, not only a packages of them.

Pros: My go to product is the KPI designer, its simply ingenious, i can design whole pages, single objects are even layer objects within objects making it super cool. the ability it has with the KPI tooltip on charts to hover a chart and it display a bespoke KPI popup is incredible.

Cons: sometimes the speed of some items, but Vizlib are continually improving these speeds, would be great if performance was sometimes the focus and not always the quality of the finer details
