QlikView Vs Tableau

[tresesco]

Having a much bigger market, QlikView has a better scope. Tableau has started growing. But yes, it has another advantage as well, Tableau has less number of developers, so from that perspective you get a better chance there.

The easiest way is search them in your local job-finding website and check which one's result is more~

but sometimes current situation(good or not) doesn't mean it last for a long time. The correct way is grasp solid knowledge foundation and choose the tool you like, even if you'd have to change another one, it's quite easy for you by then.

Tableau in Visualisations but of the modelling perspective qlikview is much better than tableau

Cheers.
