Hi Smriti,

Have you read the latest BARC BI Score?

In case you haven't I've attached it for you.

You can find any BI there with their pros and cons.

Hope helps,

Load Script flexibility and power. In-Memory database where you can load the tables as you want - not forced to have a specific data model type in mind. The speed of the completely in-memory database as Tableau even with its attempts to emulate it doesn't even come close (Extracts). Documentation when you run into problems with Tableau on how to improve performance is totally lacking. Multi-processor, multi-core performance is hard to understand and to achieve the full benefit of even when Tableau experts try to help you out in specific cases. To me this seems a whole lot less mature than QlikView. 64-bit support is less than three years old in Tableau I think.

Support from Tableau is abysmal when it comes to performance and optimization issues as well.

QlikView on the contrary is quite well documented and support is superb. Tableau Extracts which should do in-memory high-speed queries without touching the database is not working as well or not even close to QlikView's native in-memory. There are lots of problems relating to them. So some customers of Tableau seems to throw in an IBM Netezza to solve their native lack of high performance in-memory db.

On the Administrator side Tableau needs often in even a basic setup many minutes ... like 7-15 minutes to restart servers so a configuration with fail-over, clusters and so-forth that might take a few hours to set up with QlikView takes you not less than two whole days with Tableau - that is if you are really lucky and have a long experience....

I speak from experience having saved a major bank in Norway - their insurance department analytics team after their upgrade went bust. I had to personally patch Tableau 8.3 without any help whatsoever from Tableau in Ireland nor in the US. We contacted them after a couple of hours and kept them informed every day for a whole week. Although they acknowledged the problem and I gave them my patch that it took me two days to make as a beta and three more days to finalize... Tableau support paid me just lip-service the entire week.

When I run into problems with QlikView installations I can send an mail to QlikView support and they always call me back within the hour and there is always an experienced expert up for remote control and to fix the problems.

QlikView has a scalability lab in Lund in Sweden that often are more than willing to help out with performance problems for larger accounts. To my knowledge Tableau does not have anything of the sort.

I agree, Qlik in-memory engine is much more mature and has a good data compression vs. Tableau builds kind of cubes in memory. Especially if you have high cardinality fields like ids, phone numbers etc. it's quadruple the data in memory!

And, with set analysis you have a very efficient data slicing algorithm. I cannot see any similar in Tableau.

Another major difference, QlikView has extensions to add visual components to render data in a different way. In Tableau you have to live with the built-in charts.

‌Hi Ralf

i do agree with your point listed the benefit of QV.

but then some how when I view the tab demo , it seen to me the chart are more power full the QV .

Only issue is when I try to play with Tab , I find it hard to get support.

Agree with QlikView charts. But Qlik Sense charts are state-of-the-art now and comparable.

For the learning curve, you're right. I find Tab not very intuitive... I'm sure you will find enough material in books and blogs.

I would add in addition of all already discussion that Qlik offer data discovery capabilitites thantk to its associative engine. I mean that when you have data and you don't what can be found out of this, Qlik is the only one able to let you discover your hidden informations.

In the case of Tableau, Spotifre, PowerBI user shall link their graph together to find discover. And then a simple question appear... How can I connect content (like several data sources) if I don't know the tiggers that are existing ?

To conclude, even if each solutions are quite close in term of visualisation with some advantages on one side or the other, when you need to navigate within your data prior being able to create reports, Qlik is the only one which offer you a real discovery capability.
