Which is better? QlikView or Qlik Sense?

Notably, Qlik Sense is designed to provide more advanced analytics integration capabilities compared to QlikView. Users migrating from QlikView to Qlik Sense often experience a more robust environment for leveraging advanced analytics and seamless integration with other data sources and applications. Lastly ,Qlik Sense is where Qlik is investing in future development.
Can QlikView and Qlik Sense be on same server?
No, they cannot be installed on the same server sharing the same host. There are several reasons for eg:
1. Port Conflicts– QlikView and Qlik Sense uses port 4747 by default for different services and also HTTPS on port 443.
2. Resource Usage– Both QlikView and Qlik Sense are resource-intensive applications. They can consume a significant amount of CPU and RAM, and running them on the same server might lead to competition for resources, degrading the performance of each product. To avoid these conflicts and ensure optimal performance, it is generally recommended to deploy QlikView and Qlik Sense on separate servers. This helps to prevent port conflicts, ensures dedicated resources for each platform, and provides a more stable and efficient environment for both QlikView and Qlik Sense users.
