    QlikViewTableau Desktop
    Considered Both Products
    Qlik
    Chose QlikView
    QlikView, Tableau, and Sisense are all very good BI tools for analysis and reporting. Tableau was better at intuitively matching fields of disparate data and more visually appealing, but I think QlikView is faster. Tableau was also easier for someone to use to build and …
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    I think it all comes down to personal preference and integration compatibility with the existing systems in the organization. However, I would argue that Qlik and PowerBI are the top-tier available solutions due to robust features and capabilities, and I would put solutions …
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    QlikView is very similar to Tableau. However, I believe it is a cheaper solution, and that is why our company has chosen QlikView. It has been able to handle large, large amounts of data sets, and has been pretty agile for our business needs.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    The first thing we liked about QlikView was the price. For a small amount per user, I can have a very useful software to manage the whole data set our company uses. The Tableau Desktop has very high pricing for the software, and for just one user, not the whole organization. …

    Chose QlikView
    QlikView vs Tableau
    • The Tableau solution implementation is pretty slow when compared to that of QlikView.
    • The data interpretation from multiple data sources is a pain point in Tableau as it increases complexity.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    Tableau and Qlik Sense are a lot prettier and easier to use than QlikView. They also cost a LOT more. If you've got the budget, I'd consider going with one of those solutions. However, departments that don't have the budget to support tools like those need usable solutions as …
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    QlikView has a great capability of handling complicated, heterogeneous and raw data and convert them into consumable form by performing basic ETL operations in comparison to Tableau and Power BI.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    Power BI is cheaper, but more basic. Tableau is more expensive, but with greater capabilities. I feel like the other two are a little more intuitive. My company had Qlikview when I arrived.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    Simpler than Tableau and offers some more features for free. While Tableau offers more data connection options, QlikView has satisfied my needs pretty well.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    QlikView has a simpler interface and is easier to use, however, the graphics aren't as crisp and modern as Tableau's.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    Its strength lies in the data connectivity, data extraction and data exploration. But it is no way near to the user experience that Tableau provides.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    I have used Microsoft BI, Tableau Desktop and currently playing with SAP BO. Don't get me wrong, QlikView has its place in the SME space but still needs work done on the user interface, licensing and ability to handle macros.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    The only other vendor product that I have worked with that provides a similar experience to Qlikview is Tableau. I would recommend Tableau if your use case is to build a fixed dashboard. You can share reports for free without needing to buy additional licenses. I would …
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    Tableau is aesthetically interactive. QV is easier to customise and the set analysis is very powerful
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    Tableau was the closest I came to a competing product but their limited on the ETL side and the associative experience. I like Tableau but for a simpler purpose. QlikSense will be strong competitor with Tableau but they are both good products.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    We like Tableau over QlikView. QlikView has depth, but we do not necessarily have the time or man power to become full fledged experts in QlikView. Tableau is far quicker to pick up and generates reports that are neat and clean as well. Just check their stock symbols QLIK vs …
    Chose QlikView
    MS Power BI and other BI tools have similar functions to QlikView and some of them also have much cheaper price. However, the strength of QlikView is that it is much easier to use and to learn. If you need to train a new person to learn the tool, it costs around 1-2 days.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    QlikView has its own data warehouse, which is the most important reason why would I choose QlikView over any other tools. Apart from that, the feature options are good for the ones who know the tool well but created a steeper learning curve in the beginning. Once you went …
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    Qlik was less intuitive than Paxata, but less expensive than either microstrategy or PowerBI. Qlik has enough breadth to accommodate most use cases without breaking the bank.
    Incentivized
    Chose QlikView
    It is inexpensive and cost prohibited software. Has alot of canned reports that you would need and doesn't request much development work. Widely adopted as an industry leader and works well with many of the top data source applications. Very easy to use and intuitive in the …

    Chose QlikView
    QlikView is cost-efficient and has a free desktop version to try out the different functions of it before you make the purchase decision.

    QlikView was already chosen and implemented before I started [to work here], but it is very easy to learn (for me) and I started to solve problems within a day or two.

    Chose QlikView
    Good competitor for Tableau.

    Chose QlikView
    I worked and played with several BI tools in my careers. Some were easier to learn than others. With QlikView, I instantly fell in love, and I'm still in love after 12 years of using the product. The most common feedback that I get from my users is: "This is the best thing I've …
    Incentivized
    Tableau
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    Tableau is more flexible than these - I liked QlikView old version a lot but have not used the Qlik Sense etc new ones. Tableau user logic is harder to understand than Looker Studio. However it's more trust worthy. Connecting internet sources to Tableau Desktop is much harder. …
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    I have had the good fortune to use a lot of BI tools such as QlikView and Power BI but Tableau according to me provides the bang for the buck. Having said that, the other tools are continually improving and the market would be crowded with a lot of tools providing matching …
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    Tableau Desktop has many more features than other competitors. Comparing Birst, the layout is much more efficient. Power BI and QlikView are as easy as Tableau Desktop. The price for Tableau is a disadvantage when compared to Birst and QlikView, but not against Power BI. …
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    It offers superior capabilities of visualizing information. Tableau's ability to convert unstructured statistical information into fully functional, interactive and appealing dashboards is pretty amazing.
    QlikView and Power BI do not offer that level of dashboarding capability. …
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    1. As compared to SAP Business Objects, Tableau is very easy to use and quick in terms of implementation. Although SAP BO is reporting tool but both tool servers different purposes. SAP BO is a huge enterprises tool used mainly for creating large tabular reports while Tableau …
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    If any changes had to be made to existing visualizations when we used QlikView, a lot of security constraints existed and I had to run to the IT team for every change I had to implement. Tableau gives easy security change rights to the developer environment.
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    Excel is almost as good as Tableau. If you have a few thousand floating around just spring for the Tableau. QlikView is an abomination. Not much else to say there. SAS and friends are like ye olde-timey versions of Tableau in terms of their visualization abilities. Python, R, …
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    QlikView is more customizable and has more depth, but is much harder to learn and much slower to develop. Tableau Desktop is much quicker to put together and if you have questions the community of support is much better. It doesn't handle as much data as QlikView does.
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    Cass evaluated Domo, QlikView and Birst prior to selecting Tableau. It came down to cost (and by a significant margin); the others have relatively high implementation, hosting and other costs. Additionally, based on a recent Gartner "Magic Quadrant", Tableau exceeds all others …
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Desktop
    Much easier to pick up. No programming experience necessary. QlikView was difficult to get started with since it looked more like a blank canvas without clear indications. Tableau gives you more direct drag and drop, and creates visuals much quicker.

    It is easier to start with Tableau. The out of the box ready feel is more with Tableau than any of the other BI products. Product scalability is at a steep cost with Tableau but it gives the possibility to begin small and then grow as it proves its capability as compared to all …

    Chose Tableau Desktop
    Tableau is so much better for data visualization and analysis than Microsoft Reporting Services, but lacks the other functionalities that are included on Microsoft BI (MBI). That's why we use MBI to extract and consolidate our data and Tableau to create some advanced reports.
