We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."
"It is really flexible. The charts and reports are really nice. You have the flexibility of self-service."
"Microsoft BI is very easy to set up and use."
"The virtualization of Microsoft BI is very good."
"Microsoft BI is scalable."
"Power BI has strong support from Microsoft. If you need help, they answer promptly. There are also several discussion groups where you can get information, like the product roadmap and any new things coming up."
"Good reporting and data analysis tool that's user-friendly, easy to deploy, stable, and scalable."
"In contrast to what we were using before I think that Power BI has given us more extensive results."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"The language support is very good."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"My data is restricted to my DB and I'm not sure how this would handle an extremely large dataset."
"SSMS & SSRS."
"I would like Microsoft to include some inbuilt machine learning so that it becomes point-and-click, rather than us developing models out of API and BI connecting to that and getting the results. That process gets in the way of continuity."
"Integration with artificial intelligence would help. Humans take time to review the data and eliminate errors. Artificial intelligence based on machine learning and understanding can bring the same functionality."
"More connections with other systems should be added, which would allow for other integrations."
"SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is not user friendly."
"We need more integration capabilities."
"The product doesn't support unstructured data. It doesn't support video, streaming, and strings of files."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"They could improve the update time."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"The user interface is old."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
