We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Qlik Sense based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Premium features that used to cost $5,000 per company per month recently became a lot more accessible. Microsoft recently implemented a per user feature in Power BI Premium; it's $20 per month."
"There is a lot of variety in Power BI. In particular, the visuals are quite rich and the feature set has been growing rapidly in the last two years. Possibly the best part for me is that there are a lot of ways to connect with data sources."
"It is a pretty straightforward and flexible solution for data integration and modeling. It is a low-code solution. When you are doing data integration, you can use the GUI, which is very simple and straightforward. You can also do very intricate custom queries and model it at different levels. It is very easy to use and scalable."
"It is a powerful tool that helps our data analysis processes."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Data integration is very useful in Power BI. It lets me collect data from many sources. For example, I can get data from Oracle databases and SQL Server databases at the same time."
"The product is intuitive and user-friendly."
"Microsoft B's beneficial features are that it is a Microsoft product and it is well known by the staff here in the company. It suited the available skills."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"We can easily and quickly deploy new dashboards that reach a wide audience and any changes get reflected almost instantaneously for the users."
"It connects very simply to data sources."
"The most valuable feature is the interface for the end-user."
"The integration with R & Python for predictive modeling, and possibly machine learning in the future, is very valuable."
"The data is incredibly easy to share with colleagues."
"Qlik DataMarket"
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The DAX features need some improvement. It's not as easy as Excel. They need more DAX formulas."
"It needs an AI which can choose the appropriate connection strings and provide options for connections."
"For someone who is new, I think that Power BI can be a little complicated."
"The default parameters of the prompt could be improved by including a dynamic option."
"We would like to have better SQL support for queries."
"People without private emails cannot publish and, frankly, this doesn't allow for easy training."
"SSMS & SSRS."
"We did have some issues building the Microsoft blog."
"I am starting to work with Qlik Sense SaaS these days. This environment has its own reporting service, however, one of the things that could be better for the people that are already using Nprinting, is to have a Nprinting in SaaS."
"The use of APIs is not as friendly as it should be in the first place, especially when considering Python scripts and all other scripts, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The communication with the solution's sales managers in Europe is very bad, making it an area that requires improvement. My company usually gets no response from the tool's sales managers."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"Right now, it is complex and you have to understand the data model prior to analyzing it, so basically I would like to see an integration with Excel in the future."
"Qlik Sense is working very well on going to low code and development. They are trying to make their environment more user-friendly. However, the training is not free. When you want to learn more about the tool, sometimes you need to pay for the training. This does not make sense to me because training should be free because the more you learn about the tool the more you use it and the more you are loyal to the company and want to continue usage."
"Qlik application automation needs additional work and features."
