1. QlikView is growing faster than Cognos
In my last position as Chief Exec of a software solutions company, we partnered with Cognos and QlikView. Even before Cognos were bought by IBM we noticed that we were winning more customers with QlikView compared to Cognos by a ratio of 2:1. That is one of the reasons I moved with out with the QlikView partnership to form a new company QlikPower that would be dedicated to QlikView. And this is not just our experience - worldwide QlikView is officially the fastest growing Business Intelligence product with 570,000 users.
2. QlikView is easier to use than Cognos
There is no doubt about that - as CEO, which product did we use to manage our business and make better and more informed decisions - you're right, QlikView ! It was just so easy and intuitive to use compared to Cognos - I am not good at going on Training courses and guess what - you don't need to with QlikView. It's so obvious how to use the product that you will be ‘qliking' in minutes to get the information you need.
3. QlikView is better value than Cognos
Just check it out to compare - look at an entry level system of say 10 to 20 users and see what it costs. Cognos is always about 255 more expensive. You can configure a 10 User QlikView system for under €15k whereas a Cognos configuration to give similar functionality will cost almost €20k. And for 20 Users the QlikView configuration is almost 50% cheaper. This is because Cognos is essentially an ‘enterprise-only' type of solution, only really suitable for the big boys and more particularly so after their acquisition by IBM. The annual support cost is also 25% more expensive for Cognos.
4. QlikView is faster to implement than Cognos
Ask any developer - you can build a QlikView application in a fraction of the time it takes to build a similar solution with Cognos - I know we benchmarked it and not only that - we discovered that you don't have to worry about your cube design with QlikView whereas you have to be more careful with Cognos or you won't be able to deliver the right results. QlikView takes a different approach to the traditional Cognos method of defining the requirements, staging the data and developing the cube. With QlikView you can go straight at it by taking the data directly into memory and automatically making all the associations.
5. QlikView is easier to customise
Absolutely - many of the ‘look and feel' type of customisations that everyone requires can be done with a few clicks, even by end users. For developers using Cognos you have to create a lot of cubes and views to support different aspects of the same data - this can lead to confusion, errors, and administrative overhead. QlikView's visual design elements provide the flexibility to bring multiple viewpoints into one, which simplifies the whole process.
