Can someone explain the difference between Qlik Sense and QlikView?

[chetansehgal]

I do not understand why this tool was launched in parallel to QlikView in the name Self BI.

Chetann,

One more note: I do not agree with your "Sense on other side requires expertise in JS,CSS,HTML" statement...

These skills are required if you are developing Qlik Extensions. You might need to know few basic rules if you are utilizing Mashups too (but there are several Qlik Dev tools that help you with that already), but you do NOT need these skills to develop Scripts, Data Models, and regular UI items. It's about 95% of the total effort.....

There are other people who know how to do the JS/CSS/HTML stuff and they are sharing their components with the rest of the world:

1. Qlik Branch

2. QlikMarket

I am not an expert in Web-development, I just know few good people who can do pretty much anything in that area

Hmm - maybe I can arrange that? - I know some things that might be hitting 3.2 next year that fit into this request, no promises.

" I would also like to see more color options, an adjustable column width for the pivot table, drill around for tables etc. but for me these are minor things that will be done in time "

Nice! - Thanks for the great input everyone!

Thanks Vladimir,

Yes there are many benefits of using Sense but during development phase, the small small issues act as hurdle in achieving a result for a requirement.It either needs an extension(which sometimes dont help)  or Mashups(which cant be used everywhere).A very small example would be adding manual colors to a Combo Chart , i might need to create an extension to achieve this, as i have tried different methods for the same.

Also the concept of

Layers,

Object Overlapping,

Hiding/Un-hiding Objects

Create Reusable Themes

Changing backgrounds of the sheets and Objects

Copying/Pasting Multiple objects as same time took was game of a second.

and many more.

These features may look small but are very helpful in serving complex to complex requirements made it very flexible.

Sense on the other hand is screen size independent ,so the above features might not be incorporated in coming versions.

Thanks,

Chetan

Nice list of necessary improvements, Chetann!

I would add few more:

1. Saving entire script to a TXT file

2. Adjustable grid (or smaller cells, at least)

3. Functions in tables' labels/headers

4. Containers ...

Some of them are really complicated to implement on the new platform (and Qlik, unfortunately, has a habit to de-prioritize features that don't benefit end-users directly) so I doubt that they will be implemented any time soon...

But I know that "Changing backgrounds of the sheets" is already available directly in QS...

Arnaldo,

To follow up with my last post: Qlik has release QV->QS converter tool in the latest feature release (QS 3.2).

There are few things are not 100% working there but it's a huge step forward to join these platforms...

Thanks Vladimir,

Very good timing as we are planning to migrate to Qlik Sense, it is not that we have too many QlikView applications, but it is great to know that we will have a tool allowing us to convert them to Qlik Sense.

Hi, Vlad,

That is a really good news for us!!! When we consider start to using QS, the first thing we plan to do is to convert the current QV dash to QS.  I have a question. We do use a lot buttons and triggers for some of current dash, but I know there is no trigger thing in QS. So we gonna lost this functions in the dash, right?

Hi Sehgal,

with a few words:

-QlikVies has Macros

-QlikSense: Here you should use extension (instead of macros)

-QlikView: more granular then QlikSene

-QlikView: If you create your own app, nobody is able to see it, you can not share it with other colleaegus

-QlikSense: Here you can share your app with other

and look at this: What is difference between Qlik Sense & QV Desktop client?
