12. Difficult to do in QlikView
LIMITED DATA PREPARATION
While QlikView provides a scripting language for integrating and
loading data from multiple sources into memory, it does not
provide advanced ETL capabilities that are needed for more
complicated data integration use cases, like parsing of web log data
for sequence analysis and hierarchy tree navigation.
SCALABILITY AND PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS
QlikView is designed for gigabytes-scale BI applications. Given a
typical 10x compression rate, QlikView performs well on data
volumes up to 10-20 gigabytes of compressed data. Since QlikView
has to bulk load all data to the system RAM, reloading data is a
considerable workload and can take a substantial amount of time.
RAM
Data volumes up to 10-20
gigabytes of compressed
data.

13. Companies Using Qlikview
Purity Life Health Products LP
Founded in 1984, Purity Life is Canada's leading distributor of
natural health products including dietary supplements,
vitamins, natural body care, earth friendly household goods
and natural health food products. The company supplies
products to more than 7,000 stores across Canada, including
the major food, drug and mass merchandisers and natural
health food stores.
Cisco
Cisco is the worldwide leader in networking that transforms
how people connect, communicate and collaborate. The
company is diverse and global – operating in more than 165
countries with nearly 70,000 employees.

14. Technology in Qlikview
It’s what QlikView does with in-memory technology that really
makes a difference.
1. Has an inference engine that maintains the associations in
the data automatically.
2. Calculates aggregations on the fly, as needed, for a super-fast
user experience.
3. Compresses data down to 10% of its original size to optimise
the power of the processors
4. Accomplishes both within a single, comprehensive product
The Result - Less Maintenance and Faster Deployment
Neither users nor developers have to maintain the associations
in the data, so organisations can move rapidly from prototyping
to deployment to refinement.

15. Technology Partner
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a complete set of cloud
computing services that enable you to build sophisticated,
scalable applications.
The advent of 64-bit computing brought scalability and
high performance at economical costs
MongoDB (from humongous) is reinventing data
management and powering big data as the leading
NoSQL database.
As a Microsoft Gold Partner, QlikView solutions are fully
certified and validated for Microsoft technology.

20. Comparison of IBM and Qlikview

21. Qlikview is an in-memory BI tool used solely for deploying
fancy dashboards and reports.
Qliview claims to deliver solutions at half the rate , one-
fourth the time and twice the value to the customers vis-a-
virsa any traditional BI tool like Cognos BI
Qliktech suffers when dealing with complex reports.
Cognos makes it harder for simple reports to be created by
the end user
Qlikview is memory based. More users, more memory on
Server.
VS

22. Conclusion
QlikView is a technology aimed at helping analysts and business people get
insights from information as part of a highly visual process. When business users
explore data in QlikView, they use associations and patterns that are more like
those in the human mind than in a traditional database, releasing users from the
limitations of those databases. QlikView’s claim to value is that it gets business
users working quickly, collaboratively and flexibly, without making business
intelligence an IT project in and of itself.
