And it's rather misleading to call those a "bug". I addressed memory limitations at length in my post. And it’s rather misleading to call those a “bug”.

There is no tool that does everthing... As with any tool, you have to come up with a strategy of how you are going to use it. Whether you first build the DW and take of data integration issues there before applying Qlikview on top of it or taking care of the data integration within Qlikview, that work has to be done somewhere - there is pro and con of each approach and this should be carefully assessed. Years ago, I did extensive research (as DW/BI architect) on BI tool that is intuitive and easy to use. I tried various tools and looked at many, and I did not come across one that was as easy and intuitive to use than Qlikview. I think one of the most compelling aspect of the tool is that, in many cases, it enable speople to bypass the typical time and effort required to get set up and be able to "view" the data very quickly. Load the data, view the data, make the decision for next step and go, instead of having to submit request to IT, wait for months, etc. Happy to hear such heated discussion about Qlikview.

Although I would give credit where credit is due... It's not QlikView who are trying to sell something Microsoft gives for free, but rather Microsoft trying to compete with QlikView by giving PowerPivot for free :-) The BI space is getting interesting!

Has no one looked at Microsoft lately? I loaded same data into both Excel 2010 with PowerPivot and Qlickview and I see no significant differentiator between them. That said, slick BI tools are great and needed but without solid data foundation, it's all a moot point and merely allows customers to get inconsistent data faster.

We achieve the same performance and interactivity by storing data on the hard drive (column-oriented) and loading relevant data into memory on demand. But the data technology behind a certain BI product is only half of it. In order to truly do this you also need to provide a proper front-end that utilizes this technology well.
