PROS: With QlikView and free desktop version I can easily build a relational model so I can set it up to other users. I can share the load script with everyone’s machine and they are allowed to ask and answer question, like never before. The app is easy to use and runs fast.

CONS: I would like to see more keyboard optimizations especially when building objects. Also, I can’t select those who haven’t opted yet, on my mailing list. When I try to filter and create selections to QV experience, the Key 1 doesn’t appear so there is no way to select them.

PROS: I can easily connect back end databases of all types, I can scrub data and create specific sort and selection fields. QlikView allows you to use it for free, to taste it on your own at zero cost. You are provided with many trainings and videos even on YouTube, so you won’t have any problems with using this software. You can do 100% of your job. Very useful and powerful tool.

CONS: I need to add macros manually instead to add in QV automatically. For e.g. I need to export A CSV file of a table directly into QlikView, it takes 3 lines of code in macro screen, and the trouble is that the app won’t execute macros with the console automation. I would like to see some improvements for this issue.

There are no customization difficulties when it comes building the dashboards for data analyses, this app makes everything easy and simple. For web browser database there are lot of options and features and if you want to learn how to use them, you need to pay attention to their trainings. We love the ability to export files to Excell or Access.

CONS: Whenever I try to set up the dashboards with Microsoft Access in the background the speed decreases. Also, transition graphic refreshes with no animation. Maybe, all of these are because of the limited virtual memory.

PROS: Thanks to QlikView and its great desktop version I can build relational modes and set it up to others. I’m able to share load script with evryone’s machine and everyone is allowed to ask questions and provide answers.

CONS: The app needs more keyboard organizations when building objects. In addition, there is no way to select those who haven’t opted yet. Also, the key 1 doesn’t appear whenever I try to filter and create selections to QV.
