Qlikview Business Edition vs Crystal Report Server 2008

  • Currently, my database server is SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition. We're moving to using Business Intelligence.

    I've question as following,

    1. Did a Qlikview Business Edition is a Business Intelligence?

    2. Did a Crystal Report Server 2008 is a Business Intelligence?

    3. For a Business Intelligence purpose, Can I using Qlikview Business Edition or Crystal Report Server 2008?

    My understanding is Qlikview Business Edition and Crystal Report Server 2008 is a Business Intelligence. As a result, I can using either one.

    Need further explanation.

  • There is no such thing as A business intelligence.

    The question is: can those tools you mentioned be used in a business intelligence solution?

    Yes, they can.

    My question is: why should you?

    You already have SQL Server 2008, so you already have all the business intelligence tools that you need:

    * Integrations Services: ETL (integration of data)

    * Analysis Services: OLAP cubes

    * Reporting Services: building reports on OLAP or relational data sources

  • Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the BI tools that ship with SQL Server are FREE (if you use them on the same server as the SQL Server database).
