We performed a comparison between QlikView and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"The solution is fast."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the general dashboard features."
"Tableau has greatly enhanced our organization's data-driven decision-making processes by enabling us to create visually compelling reports and dashboards."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
"The solution makes for very productive and really informative decision making. It can lead the whole business and build a strategy across whole working departments."
"While using this solution I have found the valuable features to be ease of use and the visualization. It is a complete solution."
"I like the visualization component."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"It has a shallow learning curve and so you can go to market very, very, very quickly."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help."
"The user interface is old."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"They could improve the update time."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"Navigating through activities like cleansing, reshaping, and wrangling extensive or complicated datasets could prove challenging within the Tableau environment."
"Small multiples (a.k.a. Trellis charts) are possible only through very hacky means. Update: Still remains a challenge."
"If you mainly need a tool for BI reporting, it's not the best option. Tableau needs better abilities to generate simple reports, integrate, create databases, and work with data lakes."
"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."
"With Tableau, there is a gap in its ability to handle very large-scale data."
"It will be good if the server, could be more stable, and I would like to have the technical service to be more reliable."
"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."
QlikView is ranked 5th in Reporting with 158 reviews while Tableau is ranked 2nd in Reporting with 290 reviews. QlikView is rated 8.2, while Tableau is rated 8.4. The top reviewer of QlikView writes "Useful for data visualization and business intelligence". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Tableau writes "Provides fast data access with in-memory extracts, makes it easy to create visualizations, and saves time". QlikView is most compared with Microsoft Power BI, Amazon QuickSight, SQL Server, TIBCO Spotfire and IBM Cognos, whereas Tableau is most compared with Microsoft Power BI, Amazon QuickSight, Domo, SAS Visual Analytics and Google Data Studio.

We monitor all Reporting reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
I kinda agree with the below assessment with the following additions:
Graphics: Qliksense: Good, Tableau Excellent
Ease of use: QlikSense: Good, Tableau: Good
Hope this helps!
Thanks

Thank you, Everyone. All of your point are valid and well taken.
Greatly appreciate your time and insight!
We thought Tibco's Spotfire was the best of the three BI tools you've asked about in terms of:
1) its end user experience,
2) their engineering receptivity to questions and suggestions, and
3) its' overall functionality for the money.
As previously mentioned by another reviewer, scale (in terms of the size of your company/IT department/budget) and leadership buy-in are critical factors to consider in making such a decision. In other words, you can't/shouldn't buy what you can't afford, ... and if your company's leaders aren't interested/won't listen once you stand up whatever BI.data visualization solution you choose, what's the point?
With those considerations in mind, it may be best to clarify that our company wasn't willing to settle for the functionality that such traditional BI vendors as those three had to offer.
Here's why ...
To suggest that any of those three business intelligence tools actually accomplishes true 'data visualization,' or even more interestingly its most intriguing cousin, data animation (a la Edward Tufte and Hans Rosling) would be a real stretch.

Alternatively, we would highly recommend Information Builders' (IBI's) solution, and especially the newly emerging data visualization/animation functionality that is being offered by IBI through their new and improved InfoDiscovery tool this Spring (2015).
Watch out for it :)
We believe that IBI's solution is head and shoulders above those three other BI tools, as well as all of the other myriad of BI tools we evaluated in terms of:
1) end user experience/intuitiveness of design and handling,
2) drag and drop capabilities, and in essence
3) cutting IT out of the BI hand holding/red headed step child syndrome that has plagued the IT industry for far too long.
We were fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to preview what the IBI engineers have been able to accomplish in this regard so far, and quite honestly, they knocked our socks off!
In our collective opinion, IBI's solution is the most complete BI tool out there (especially relative to its' data visualization/animation functionality) as far as we have seen.
And the kicker is:
1) they listened intently to our request for this sort of data visualization/animation functionality (voice of the customer),
2) brought their programming whizzes to meet with us to best understand what we were after,
3) engaged the leadership of their company in our ideas and recommendations,
4) met with us periodically along the way to keep us abreast of their progress,
5) built the program to in fact achieve that vision as we had requested,
6) asked for and received our input recently to make the prototype even better prior to launch, and
7) are in the process of demo'ing it now yet further to other IBI super-users to both show it off and to secure yet further improvement ideas.
That's what makes IBI the sort of IT business partner/company we truly enjoy and appreciate doing business with!

Love the site. We are doing a comparison with the same data set at the moment will give you my personal feedback once completed.

This is a great question!
I am not confident enough of answering it though I will be much interested to read if someone else manage to complete such a review.

This is not a trivial question for anyone to tackle openly and objectively
I would respond to the person requesting a free Gartner report on DV leaders with the following questions:
· Is your firm committed to selecting one of these vendors?
· Is the question based on 2 or 4 developer's licenses or an enterprise system?
· Would this be a tactical decision or strategic?
Each product serves the purpose of aggregating data and providing visual display of the data depending on the enhancements configured for data visualization (i.e. geospatial map viewer). Tableau is the less costly and easy to use like Qlik of the three products with Spotfire being the most costly and complicated to configure and generally used by companies with larger IT budgets. There is a report comparing these BI products. apandre.wordpress.com
