QlikView | Legendary, fast and good.
Ancient for a software, but far from retired.
A classic, quick and easy.
No one else can do it.
When the Swedish company QlikTech launched a new software called QlikView in 1993, no one could have imagined the empire it would develop into over the past decades.
Like its successor Qlik Sense, the QlikView software is based on the QIX engine, which can perform the most complex calculations incredibly quickly and visualises company data uniformly across systems.
Even today, many companies around the world still work with QlikView, even though licence sales were discontinued in 2020. Why? Because the software still represents an enormous added value for every company.
We love QlikView as much as Qlik Sense, and there are requirements that QlikView can fulfil better than Qlik Sense. On the other hand, there are other requirements that Qlik Sense can meet more effectively. That's why the two products complement each other perfectly and are used in parallel by many companies.
Those who want to start with Qlik can only do so with Qlik Sense today, but those who are already using QlikView will still be satisfied with it.
The fact is that QlikView is not being further developed, only Qlik Sense. Thus, there are many new technologies that are only available in Qlik Sense.
So whoever is still using QlikView: very good. We can help and we are passionate about it.
QlikView
can be developed locally, but can also be deployed in the Qlik Sense SaaS Cloud.
The advantages of
QlikView, compared with Qlik Sense
Individual design
Compared to Qlik Sense, the design of the interface with QlikView is much more customisable. While in Qlik Sense you can use CSS grids to position the objects, in QlikView this is done with pinpoint accuracy.
So if you want to design sophisticated interfaces, you'll feel right at home in QlikView.
Those who don't want to design elaborate GUIs, which costs a lot of time, will feel much more comfortable with Qlik Sense.
Working offline
Those who are on the road a lot need to be able to work offline - this applies to field staff, for example. As long as network coverage is patchy, and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon, a stable connection to the server cannot be ensured - at least not permanently.
One of QlikView's strengths is its offline availability. A connection to the server is not mandatory and you can copy the current data to your laptop in the morning and then work with it offline all day. Even the development of new apps is possible offline.
Qlik Sense is not designed for offline operation; a permanent connection to the server is mandatory.
Loop & Reduce
When distributing QlikView applications, the QlikView Server (more precisely the Publisher) handles the Loop & Reduce.
Similar to Section Access, the QlikView Publisher reduces the data in the app based on defined fields. This way, employees only get the data loaded into the app that they should and are allowed to see.
This is extremely important, especially for offline availability, and also reduces the file size for transmission.
Qlik Sense does not have this functionality. It can achieve the same result for online use, but not for offline operation.
