Next for QlikView and data discovery

October 9, 2013 by Ted Cuzzillo

QlikView has recently looked to me like a faded movie star who gazes fondly into the mirror. Though friends lavish compliments, and the phone still rings every day with offers, the buzz keeps slipping away to younger rivals. The proud old star won’t hear it: Never mind them, says the star, I’m still the biggest and the best.

April 24, 2012 by Ted Cuzzillo

What’s the future of BI? Last fall, one sharp source of mine answered, “Two words: Tableau and QlikView. You didn’t hear it here.”

Those are startling words coming from that source, a well-regarded BI consultant known for big-name clients and their big deployments.

At about the same time, a column of mine appeared in Information Management titled “Don’t call it BI” — in which I mentioned Tableau and a few smaller tools. A reader emailed, “You should also become familiar with QlikView.”

My many Tableau-using friends say QlikView is hardly worth a look. Poor visualization! Control panels! Scripting! “It’s so — yesterday,” one emails.… Read the rest “The future of BI in two words”
