The Differences
First Difference – Go to the respective websites and try to get information on the product both feature trial version available for download.In overall terms Tableau wins by a mile, their website is model for how to do it in terms presenting a company, its products and supporting collateral and with appetising details. Tableau visuals, demonstration sets, technical tutorials are clearly better.
Second Difference – Connecting to data – Tableau wins here as well as you can connect straight to the data, Excel, Oracle, SQL, Access, flat files whatever immediately. With the exception of Excel for which Qlikview wrote an little app there is at least some scripting to be done in order to connect to data.
Third Difference – User Interface – Tableau again wins and in fairness they have put a lot of thought into this and a clearer interface with very few wizards in sight. Qlikview Dashboards are a treat but the overall experience is important.
Fourth Difference – Ease of use – Most internet comment awards this to Tableau, fast simple clear screens which reduce the amount of time to production of data, reports, slicing and dicing considerably. That’s what users want.
