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."QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The solution is fast."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"The product offers an intuitive user interface, detailed screens and widgets, and the absence of data limitations"
"The solution allows for the possibility for end-users to do their own reporting."
"The Web Editing capabilities allow us to grant end users enough capabilities for them to do self-serve discovery without the added cost of needing to get everyone desktop licenses."
"The ease of presenting findings is very helpful."
"Tableau is very good in the front-end visualization compared to Power BI."
"The maps and colors and interface are all fantastic."
"The use of a storyboard helps the flow of the data visualisation."
"Tableau's initial setup was straightforward."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"The solution is quite costly."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"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."
"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."
"The solution needs to improve its integration capabilities."
"Lacks machine learning algorithms that you can implement using R, SPSS Modeler, and Python."
"It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy."
"We have products like Tableau, Power BI, Cognos, and QlikView in the data visualization segment. Compared to those, Tableau is quite costly."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
"With Tableau, when you're dealing with very large datasets, it can be slow so the performance is an area that can be improved."
QlikView is ranked 5th in Reporting with 158 reviews while Tableau is ranked 2nd in Reporting with 292 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 Oracle OBIEE.

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
