First column just a wish ID # for further references, 2nd column is a LinkedIn ID of the person who published this wish on Qlikview group and 3rd column is a “compactified” representation of the Wish (for full text of each wish please go to the original discussion here: http://www.linkedin.com/groupItem?view=&gid=72977&type=member&item=33973998 .

This is what John Trigg (Product Director – QlikView Desktop & Clients) said about this Wishlist and I quote:
Qliktech “will be launching the Ideas platform within QlikCommunity that will allow any QlikCommunity member to post a product enhancement ideas as well as share your thoughts (in a threaded discussion) and vote for the ideas (vote up and vote down) that others have posted. We’re currently aggregating all of the current ideas that people have submitted thru our current SFDC portal and thru the old QlikCommunity. We have a list of the enhancements suggested on this forum but if anyone has assembled this into a threaded discussion please share with me and we’ll get the full conversations into the launch of the new platform. We hope that the new facility within QlikCommunity will be open to ALL participants in the very active QlikView user & partner community. And that the features of Ideas give you plenty of opportunity to share views and comments with us an with each other”

Andrei,
We launched QlikCommunity Ideas this week, so you now have a place for all of these great ideas! You can learn more and see a video demo of this new feature here:
http://community.qlikview.com/blogs/communitymanager/2011/08/17/welcome-to-qlikcommunity-ideas
We look forward to receiving lots of great ideas from you and all of the rest of our QlikCommunity!
Kindly,

Thanks Jason:
I followed your advise and published a couple of ideas there:
http://community.qlikview.com/ideas/1838
http://community.qlikview.com/ideas/1839
http://community.qlikview.com/ideas/1872
First 2 to approved and already got some votes UP, 3rd is waiting for approval, so we will see how it works:
“Integration with R”
Qlikview is a good foundation for Visual Analytics, but does not have enough analytical power. Competitors like Spotfire (and soon Omniscope) have an excellent integration with analytical tools, like R library and R scripts; Spotfire even has own commercial version of R called S-Plus. Qlikview should have the same or better functionality. FYI, R community has more then million of active users.
If R is too “open” for Qliktech, there are plenty of commercial alternatives to it. I know that many Qliktech Partners have need for extra analytical functionality integrated with Qlikview.

“Virtual Memory for Qlikview: an ability to expand the database beyond RAM”
Qliktech Competitors (e.g. Spotfire and Tableau) have similar to Qlikview in-memory columnar databases/datastores, but their Data Engines are capable to allocate data outside of RAM, e.g. on disk and therefore they are able to handle much larger data sets and scale (theoretically, at least) unlimitedly. In the era of “big data”, cheap fast disks, very fast (and relatively cheap) SSD and soon to be available PCM (Phase-Change Memory), Qlikview should have a full support for virtual memory and an ability to take advantage of all this storage options.

“Qlikview has to be able to read Microsoft DataCubes!”
With upcoming new version of SQL Server 2011 Microsoft has at least 3 of the most sophisticated and useful types of OLAP Cubes on market: traditional SSAS (SQL Server Analysis Services) Cubes in SSAS Multidimensional Mode, “new” (Vertipaq) Cubes in SSAS Tabular Mode (no need for Sharepoint anymore!) and “local” PowerPivot-based Cubes. Obviously Excel/PowerPivot can access all 3 types of Cubes.
One of reason why Tableau is growing faster then anybody (including Qliktech) and probably will outsell Spotfire in 2011 is because Tableau can access all types of Microsoft Datacubes. If Qliktech wants to keep its leading positon in Data Visualization market, it has to be able to natively read and integrate with all 3 types of Microsoft Datacubes. Currently Qliktech and Qliktech competitors (except Tableau) cannot do that.
