I am doing my internship at a company and i have to implement a reporting dashboard system. I'm new to Qlik and i'm a little bit confused on how to start with this. The database i'm going to be using is a MySQL database and the dashboard system should be accessible by the internet. Should I use Sense or View ? Or even something else?
Both products will do the job, for internship, my answer depend on what you already have in the company:
If the company already using Qlikview server then better go for it, you can publish your document on the server and let users visualize it also on internet.
If the company has neither QV nor QS, then i will recommend for internship to take a look on QS cloud platform for quick easy and even free small app sharing.
So the situation is like these. Several years ago another Intern implemented a Pentaho management cockpit. Now the time has come to look at other options and look at other vendors like Qlik & Tableau.
I have to rebuild the same cockpit/dashboards in Qlik and in Tableau and then we can choose which looks best and which has the best quality.
Is there a way I can use a free trial of Qlik Cloud with using my own datasource or will i need to purchase one of the products to be able to fully use is.
Check with your company, they have Qlikview Server or Qliksense Server. Both can be used to publish to Internet. Based on the server type available in your company you take decision on Qlikview/Qliksense.
