A few days ago I discovered (through a press release of qliktech) that their product became champion in the Aberdeen Axis. I heard about Aberdeen before, but didn’t know they made comparisons of performance management comparisons just like Gartners magic quadrants or forrester waves. I didn’t take this to serious, thought it might be heavily sponsored by Qliktech self just like IDC reports.
Just yesterday David Raab of the Customer Experience Matrix blog published an article about the Aberdeen Axis and he has some nice comments on this Axis. You can read his comments here! David Raab is also the author of an article wich we posted earlier about what makes qlikview so good.
On the 16th of january Gartner published a new magic quadrant as of Q1 2009 where we saw qlikview move further up to the leaders quadrant. I’m trying to find time to write about that, but you can read Gartner’s piece here: Gartners Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms

Today I found a really nice comparison of two Dashboarding products. In the blue corner there’s Qlikview and in the red corner is Xcelsius.
You can read the comparison here: http://myxcelsius.com/2009/02/03/comparison-of-qlikview-and-xcelsius/
The article says that Qlikview has poorer visualisations, where I consider precisely that as a strong point of qlikview, next to speed of analysis, ease of use and others. The part that truly matters, where it comes to extracting data, scripting possibilities, speed, costs, that’s where qlikview wins according to the author of the article.
Anyway, read for yourself!
