Hi guys,

I think allways the best answer is: QlikView does not use any cubes!!!! You load all original tables and design all charts you ever want. With the feature Set analysis you get really all problems solved.

We have lots of customers they tell use, with Cognos they will not get solved all requests and change now to QlikView!

I work for 6 years with QlikView every day and until now I solved every customer requests, and really, they were often very difficult!

Yes! I HATE data cubes. I can't understand how that ever became a de facto standard for data reporting. I can't understand how people can ask of QlikView, "Does it support data cubes?" as if this were a desirable feature instead of a horrible, ugly solution that we should all be trying desparately to avoid.

Sorry, had to vent. They probably have their place. I've just never, ever seen that place. 🙂

Hi Everbody,

1> Qlikview Does have the capability to hold all the data in Memory(Primary).

So it is Other wise known as In Memory Analysis Tool.

2> It Has the concept called AQL. Which is Panted by Qliktech.That's differentiate Qlikview from Other Tools.

That is basing on the same name it can create associativity which is i think not supported by other tools.

3> It has also good satisfication rate with customer point of view.

4> It take less time to complete a project as it is not using OLAP Cubes which takes a lot time when built up from RAW.

5> It's market growth rate astonishingly increasing day by day. So it's a defiite emerging technology as compare to other tools.

Any other comments on this POST is highly appreciated.

i am recently is given to get my hands dirty with Cognos Planning. this feature is not there in Qlikview. from that perspective, you can't compare QV and Cognos as a whole. Cognos has some features (apart from reporting and analysis) which are not in QV. Otherwise, when i started working in cognos, i felt like: how ridicuolus approach it takes to solve some simple issues (as compared to QV)! even i am not really enjoying Cognos. yes the CUBES (D-List, D-Cubes) are so pathetic for me. i am dying to give a see off to cognos. may be the things have their places in cognos(i have a big doubt), but working in QV is much easier and yes, (as mentioned earlier by friends) - with QV we can meet almost every requirement of the customer, whereas in cognos there is a big list of 'Not Possible'.

Tresesco, which functions in cognos are not available on qlikview?

If you are talking about free reports in pdf, yes, in QV you must use licenses or Publsher reporter, but is available!!

In addition of all QV colleages, don't forget about the data proccessing capabilities in QV. You can make a huge datawarehouse with a very fast proccessing time. Using incremental load or proccess, saving temp files with compressing rate of 10:1, create alternal historical data....

Also, the interface tools (Set Analysis, Alternate States, Section access that filter objects, sheets, expressions or data, Collaborate work, Mobile clients......)

I think that are both strengths and weaknesses:

Relational data in document & 'virtual cubes' for each chart successfully complement each other.

Close integration of ETL and Visual layer.

Could be developed, adopted & supported by one (not unique) person.

Despite that scalability and extensibility, ability to handle enterprise level solutions.

Almost the only one BI tool that could be used easily at home (standalone and free).

Hi,

Qlikview maintains all the data associations, where as Traditional BI solutions don’t maintain data associations.

Qlikview User driven :

Follows the user
All data, always visible
Minutes to change
Insight driven

Other BI tools are IT driven :

Linear, pre-defined thinking
Insights missed in hidden data
Months to change
Data-centric
