WHAT’S UNIQUE
People choose Tableau for the ability to quickly and easily explore data of any kind. Tableau’s drag-and-drop functionality is powered by our breakthrough query language, VizQL, which makes it easy for business users and data analysts alike to get fast insights into their data.
This visual approach to data discovery also removed the need to write scripts or get bogged down in wizards, something that has been definitional for the business intelligence industry. And Tableau provides the ability to work with data in-memory or via a live connection, which enables the analysis of truly massive data sets.

Tableau
QlikView is the market-proven, leading BI platform from Qlik used for the rapid creation of guided analytics. Unlike competitive offerings, QlikView is built upon an associative data engine which allows users to explore the relationships that exist in data to reveal connections.
In doing so, QlikView supports the way human curiosity naturally searches, filters, questions, and finds associations in data to find meaning in information – more easily revealing insights and enabling decisions in the process.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Tableau has basically replaced all the data-gathering time and all the data-cleaning time with just insight. And it just creates this really fast cycle where we all can learn faster and get answers a lot faster. So Tableau’s really enabling us to have conversations that we never could have before.

After exploring several BI platforms, it was clear QlikView best fit our needs. We were impressed by the user-friendly nature of the product and the intuitive ability to perform ‘wild card’ searches against large amounts of data in real time.
