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.

Pros

aggregating and filtering data from disparate data sources
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.

Return on Investment

You can use the free desktop version to do a lot of reporting and analysis work more quickly so the ROI is huge
QlikView is great at finding outliers such as data entry errors
QlikView is great at helping you quickly discover new insights about your business that can prompt you to take action that can immediately affect your cash flow.
