QlikView is an amazing product. I say this as an end user and implementor for the past 5 years.
- A versatile data warehouse with multi-billion-row capacity and incredible speed.
- A BI front end for report generation, interactive analysis, dashboard design.
- Complemented by a platform for distributing data securely to customers, suppliers, contractors, etc.
- End-user applications are intuitive and have a high wow-factor.
- An easy to use ETL tool for extracting data and building the data model. You can even have several models in the same application.
- It is not OLAP. It smokes OLAP in performance and development time.
- You can build a proof of concept in days and a final application in a few weeks. Seriously.
- The rapid, iterative development means precise results in less time and lower cost.
