Based on Review of Its QlikView Product in 2010 Business Intelligence Platforms Magic Quadrant
Radnor, PA - 04 February 2010
QlikTech, a leading business intelligence company, today announced it’s been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the challengers Quadrant in the Enterprise Business Intelligence Suites (EBIS) Magic Quadrant’ report for based on review of its QlikView product.
“It’s great to be positioned by Gartner as a Challenger,” said Anthony Deighton, Senior Vice President of Products for QlikTech. “As the company that pioneered the in memory business intelligence space, we understand what it means to have a technology offering that challenges the status quo. We look forward to continuing to challenge the incumbents with a totally different approach than traditional business intelligence platforms. We’re happy to have over 12,000 customers around the world who have reaped the benefits of QlikView’s ease of use and rapid deployment that speeds time to critical business answers.”
Gartner comments on the evolution of the business intelligence in the report: “Organizations are rapidly embracing the idea of providing data to end users and empowering them with an ability to navigate and visualize the data in a "surf and save" mode as an alternative to a report-only architecture. Threatened by the success of these vendors (and adding to their credibility), traditional BI platform vendors are attempting to imitate them with easy-to-use interactive visualization alternatives often incorporating in-memory technology. This imitation, coupled with a growing recognition by user organizations that data discovery tools can be used as full-functioned BI platforms for a broader range of BI platform capabilities and use cases (beyond rapid prototyping), justifies the significant move of these vendors from the Visionaries to the Challengers quadrant.”
