There is a nice and promising series at QlikviewGuru’s blog. He is busting myths like the mythbusters do on TV.
His first post in the series is about Qlikview being able (or not) to handle large datasets. You can read it here: QlikView Myths – “QlikView can’t handle large data sets”. It’s an interesting post because first of all he busts the myth and second he has two very good reasons why the myth still exists. But read it for your self.
His second post in the series is about the myth that Qlikview implementations do not require any consulting. As long as QlikView is sold as simple and quick, too many customers will make the connection to “quick and dirty”…is the ending quote QlikviewGuru uses. That’s a very true conclusion. Read the post here: QlikView requires no consulting.
I’m looking forward to the following myths the QlikviewGure will be busting. I do have some suggestions: Qlikview is cheap, Qlikview doesn’t require a datawarehouse or a data integration solution, Qlikview is your enterprise wide BI solution. Any other myths need to be busted?
