Most interesting are:
- Enterprise Manageability - support large configurations, volumes of data, the number of users as well as the possibility to make real - time data update and implement the often requested sending an automated PDF reports
- QlikView Mobile - possibility to use the iPhone as a client station QlikView
- QlikView Personal Edition - free downloadable development environment for the development of QlikView applications
- Usability and simplicity - enhanced visualization and search capabilities
The changes are also occurring in the price list and licensing policy, where the most significant change is the license QlikView for Personal Use, which includes the functionality of earlier modules Developer (ETL environment for import of input data and creating a data model), Professional (creation of datamart above the respective data model) and Named user (analysis of the generated datamart). This license may be obtained completely free of charge by downloading from www.qlikview.com
Limitations of the license is that the created documents are applicable just with this particular license, there are not transferable to any other license QlikView for Personal Use and you CANNOT work with any documents that were created in the environment of other license of QlikView. However, you CAN transfer created documents to any QlikView environment, which is normally licensed (purchased).
Another change is that in terms of licensing policy and prices there is no difference between the development environment, environment for so-called "Power User" and the end-user environment. One user license (CAL) includes all the functionality of modules Developer, Professional and end-users - analyst. When deploying the licenses , customer defines which personnel assigne to specific functionality
From this point of view, defining the requirements for pricing of licenses QlikView simplifies to only 2 questions:
- What is the total number of users
- how much and what type of servers, respectively other modules is required
This greatly simplifies the pricing of licenses and the customer is not forced to define the requirements, which he often do not know in advance but only estimates.
