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."It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"It is a stable product."
"Tableau has comprehensive, insightful charts, which allow you to build stunning dashboards and enrich your support decision-making."
"Tableau is very flexible and easy to learn. It has drag-and-drop function analytics, and its design is very good. It is a very good tool, and it basically brings life into data with good design. We have been creating a lot of interactive visualizations and dashboards. It has a public version. There are public communities from where you can get a lot of examples for practice."
"It provides supporting data for critical policy and operational changes"
"The solution offers very good reporting."
"From my perspective, it enables clients to better understand our data and make better decisions based on that information."
"I like the solution's web version, more so than Power BI's web version. It just makes it easier to drag and drop things and to blend data on the backend. It simplifies the process."
"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"The solution is quite costly."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Improvements in schema security and row/column security need to be made."
"Small multiples (a.k.a. Trellis charts) are possible only through very hacky means. Update: Still remains a challenge."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the competition. They'll need to lower it to stay competitive."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"The solution could improve the scalability, it is difficult to make changes."
"Lacks machine learning algorithms that you can implement using R, SPSS Modeler, and Python."
"Tableau support could be improved."
"Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement."

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. https://apandre.wordpress.com/tools/comparison/
