Overall Satisfaction with QlikView
It is being used across the entire Company (in a BPO environment) for different customers, mostly for scorecards and finance analysis dashboards.
- One of the main strengths I always bring up is the associative technology, which is the Green-Gray-White concept. This Qlikview functionality brings more intuitiveness to the applications in a very natural and efficient way.
- In-memory technology brings very quick and easy switching between field value selections, since ALL the data is stored in the RAM. Information is already available on click. This is very advantageous particularly for customers not very fond of the usual 'enter parameters, run report and wait 5 mins or so'.
- Ease of design and development. Qlikview can be as simple as creating reports in Excel, with minimal training, but at the same time seasoned developers can utilize technical and complex functionalities to bring out the most efficient methods and deliver difficult requirements.
- Availability for a mobile and tablet version of the application without additional development required. Everything is done by the server.
- Qlikview can be used 'on top' of other BI tools, much like Excel is usually used as the final presentation for reports.
- In-memory technology requires large amounts of RAM, and real-time data availability is not possible. Data is only limited to the last reload or refresh of the application.
- A corporate complaint I always hear: Expensive Licenses. Perhaps this can be remedied by having more variations.
- Not really a weakness, but for non-technical users looking to develop applications, a level of familiarity of proper data modeling and design techniques are needed to ensure information accuracy.
- Client is only available for Microsoft Windows systems, so development is only limited to that. Nonetheless the users may access the application using any platform with a web browser.

Qlikview has a distinct advantage with in-memory and associative technologies.
