    • ]]>     Enrico Bertini at Visuale asks how important is interactivity in information visualization? As a proponent of QlikView, Spotfire, Tableau and others, I think it’s extremely important. Interactivity is the future, it’s “make or break.”

    I’ve been implementing speed-of-thought interactive BI tools for 6 years and I don’t want to do it any other way. When I watched my first seasoned executive lose restraint and laugh uncontrollably as he got instant answers to his hardest questions, I knew this was the only way to go. When my end-user training sessions end late because everyone is so excited about what they can do, it’s clear that people NEED interactivity.

    • ]]>     I am glad to hear in a presentation from Vertica, that they will be releasing their product for free use under a certain data set size. I do not know if this is intended to distinguish developers from production systems or so that smaller companies can run the product for free (and help establish a user base).

    Also, I am evaluating Spotfire DXP as well as the upcoming features of QlikView 8. I’ll post a review of both when time and/or NDAs permit.
