1. AJAX Improvement

QlikView has concentrated on “AJAX Touch Client”, This topic comes under mobile client in Qlikview were the touch functionality of Ajax has been improved a lot in this update. Lots of users are frustrated in the previous version because of the access point and the mobile version was not able to get a natural feel. In Qlikview 12 this was solved in this it feels very natural thanks for that Qlikview. Here are some functions can be able to do on mobile – we can copy files, move files and also can be resized, an object can be created, properties of the object can be changed…etc.

Example – In previous mobile version, it was designed to project one single object at a time because mobile has less screen space, if need to view the full image we need to zoom in the image for the clear appearance so users are not happy. Now, QlikView introduced “Ajax touch client” for the better mobile experience.

2. QIX Engine For Both

The Same Qlik Sense Engine (QIX Engine) is used in QlikView, With this update if any changes to be made it applies to both(Qlikview & Qlik Sense). By this, the conflict rate between QlikView and Qlik Sense can be reduced, So that user gets better data models and better data indexing.

3. New Access to DataMarket Connector

I hope every single person(Qlikview) will like this update because it’s very simple to use data as services such as population, demographics, and weather…etc. In Previous version we have to use outside data source i.e.which the data is not available in QlikView server & then we have to store it into QlikView data file(QVD) after this we have to upload from QVD to Qlikview, This process is very difficult for Qlikview user – So that they have given us connectors to download anytime & can be used immediately after the installation process.

4. Tight Security for Qlikview Product

Many Happy faces for this update, In previous version there are some security issues in the product, Now it has been updated and increased the security levels which can’t be noticeable. In this Qlikview have improved request handling for the client, improvement in encryption and extensible markup language parsing(XML) has also improved. When the Qlik has released the overall performance was not up to it marks, But now the overall performance was outstanding. I hope everyone is excited to use this version.

Conclusion

QlikView is one of the fastest growing companies in Business Intelligence(BI) they have regular Updates on Qlikview product So that users won’t have any issues with their product. The Conclusion is every update has its own Pros and Cons, We have to move on with new updates and need to get a solution for the bugs or drawbacks in the upcoming versions.
