QlikView vs BusinessObjects (BO)

[#1]

Hey everybody,

I'm currently trying to compare QlikView 9 and BO XI.

I found a blog comparing both products http://qlikviewvsolap.blogspot.com/2009/02/qlikview-vs-bo.html.

I need to answer questions like : what's the best between BO universe and QV script, which one has the best GUI, which one is the most competitive according to the number of end users, the amount of data, etc

Has any of you some documentations, website, blog that could help me to make this comparison.

Regards

Kevin

Absolutely!  DataRoket connects the BO Universe through a data pipe delivering any data (oh, not to forget BO and Hadoop data). So you will have several different ways to access BO data...  http://tinyurl.com/3har8tl

-Direct Universe Access.

-Reports as a Data Source

-Multi- BO Domain Document Lists as a Data Source

-In-Memory

Each has its own unique benefits and ROI when combining BO data with QlikView capability (right down to the metadata).  And the best thing is that the BO data looksgeneric, meaning the user does not have to know the BO Universe in order to use the BO data in QlikView.  And the power is the ability to associate your BO data with any other data within QlikView.

Can you connect to BO 4.0 universes (.UNX), too?

Business Objects is an excellent BI report platform which can make any report,But the QlikView is better and faster than BO in the dynamic analysis.

About the chinese traditional,standard  and complex report,BO XI's crystal report is more powerfull.QlikView can't meet the need of the bussiness.

About the dynamic analysis report,QlikvView is better than BO Xcelsius.However,the integration of BOX with the GMaps Plugin is better than the QV and GEO.

What's more,BO is cross platform,which can run in any operation system,QV just can run in windows.

Which tool is your choice?I think it depends on your reality project.BO is good at something and can do anything ;QV is good at something  and can't meet all of the need.
