What is the difference between Qlik Sense and Qlik Sense Desktop?

Hello!

I am reading about Qlik Sense! Can anybody please tell me what is the difference between Qlik Sense Desktop and Qlik Sense?

I understand Qlik Sense is a licensed version but I would like to know what I can/cannot do between the two versions to understand the difference.

Any info would be great

Desktop is a single user solution, only accessible from the computer on which it is run.

With Qlik Sense Desktop has these restrictions:

- You need to do the upgrade always.

- Security is absent.

- The job is saved on the Cloud.

- Qlik collects information on the use of the product (hours per day). Does not collect the data used.

- You can sharing the qvf files.

- QVF files can not be saved on a network drive.

Hi Stefano - thanks for your support and contributions, I wanted to clarify a couple of points you made,  just for your edification:

  • The job is saved on the Cloud - this is optional - by default the .qvf file is saved to the local drive App folder. The QVF (app) can be then upload to the Qlik Cloud Sharing service (Beta).
  • QVF files can not be saved on a network drive. - the product only saves the .qvf files on the local drive App folder.

But is it ethical (license perspective) for multiple developers to use QlikSense Desktop for development and assign the deployment to an Admin of QlikSense Enterprise. 

I am assuming that those QlikSense Desktop users dont have Professional License on the QlikSense Enterprise server.

Please share your thought on this.
