Business Intelligence Bout: MicroStrategy 9.3 vs. QlikView 11
As a special request I have taken a look into the latest versions of both MicroStrategy (9.3) and QlikView (11) for a comparison between the two platforms. I have already looked at and written about both of these technologies in BI Battle Royale but will be making a slightly more detailed study for this article.
I will be exploring and making my judgements based on the following key points:
- Data Source connectivity – The different kinds of data sources you can use and how simple it is to make a connection
- Report Capabilities – What kind of functionality comes with report development and how flexible this tool is
- Dashboards – What kind of functionality comes with dashboard development and how flexible this tool is
- Mobile Capabilities – How the technology can be used on a mobile medium
- Aesthetics – The amount of freedom a developer has with pixel perfect design and fine-tuning
