QlikView positioned in the visionary quadrant by Gartner

Gartner have just released their latest Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms. Here are some of their comments on QlikView. “QlikTech executed very well in 2006 …Its technical advantages using an in-memory data model, automated data integration and a graphical analytical environment have attracted customers looking for both ease of use and highly scalable functionality. Ironically, QlikTech - one of the smaller vendors evaluated in the Magic Quadrant - is able to show the most references, analyzing hundreds of millions of rows of data with good query performance”.
