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.

Zhihong,

Yes, you will lose this functionality, unfortunately. I did not try to convert Buttons to QS, so I am not even sure the Button object will be recreated properly....

In my opinion which I know is shared by others QlikView is the choice for guided analytics and Qlik Sense can be better for self service BI but it depends.

Qlik Sense does not make nearly as good use of real estate as QlikView and you cannot fit as much on the screen.

We also have a QlikView dashboard with a highly customized report builder that also allows users to add their own chart and I would say this is easier than doing it in Sense.

Sense is great but it is not the be all end all and QlikView is often still the correct answer but it depends

Could you share more on this point,please?

-QlikView: more granular then QlikSene

Hi Dan

Could you expand on this please? As Sense has master items and the charts are very easy to add as required in Sense. Much easier than View. Also I prefer the ease of setting up a customizable straight table using the Sense climber extension than how its done in View. It takes a long time to get this all set up in View but easy in Sense.

"QlikView is the choice for guided analytics and Qlik Sense can be better for self service BI but it depends."

Agree with it depends. I can't really see much difference regarding guided analytics. Both Sense and View are fine. Although maybe triggers make View better in this respect but Sense is easier to use so it can almost cancel out.

In QlikView we have a hierarchical list box with fields that can be added by category to our Report Builder. 

I have yet to find a way to do something this easy for the end users in Sense.  Keep in mind I am talking straight out of the box functionality not extensions.

Also when talking about a report builder at least in our cases the users want many many columns.  I am not Sense bashing I really do like product but in comparison to QlikView it has poor use of real estate.  Since our users want to pick many columns to add to the tabular report and QlikView shows so much more on the screen QlikView is better for this IMHO. 

Additionally if we develop for our standard 24" Monitor and someone uses it on their laptop they will have to scroll in QlikView to see more columns, not the end of the world.  In Sense you will have to (not sure what it's called so forgive wrong vernacular but you will have to toggle which columns are enabled so you can see the ones that are important to you.  Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious in Sense here because I don't have the experience in Sense I do in QlikView but that's kind of a pain to me.

I know a good dashboard shouldn't have tons and tons of columns and I have been preaching that for years but sometimes the users just need that.
