Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."
"It is easy to use. It has got a desktop where people can develop their own dashboards. Basically, we have figured out how to connect finance contracts and all programs for the government agency. So, they can see everything in a dashboard. So, it is very easy to use from a technical standpoint of view."
"We encourage end users to use Power BI because it's quite easy for them to interact with the menus and the navigation bar. Even for ordinary users, they can create their own dashboard using Power BI."
"The product can go easily go and extract data and it can put it into any format."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"Two valuable most features are the ability to create columns and create measures."
"The solution is easy to use and flexible."
"The ease of integration and connectivity stands out as the most critical aspect, followed closely by the flexibility to customize reports and dashboards."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"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."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"It is a stable product."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"Power BI shows reports on actual data, not metadata."
"I would like it to be a little bit more secure when I'm using the design feature on my desktop. For example, to have the ability to set up security passwords for opening the file. Currently, they don't have that. Tableau, for example, has a visual way of doing data processing steps, whereas the Power BI system still has some code, although it is very low code. It would be great to have the kind of view that Tableau has."
"Creating dashboards could be easier."
"I have been doing trial and error to figuring out how to do the data analyzing and modeling. There could be some improvement to simplify it."
"Sluggish performance when handling large amounts of data."
"I believe the price should be degressive, and we should have a lower, or better unit price if we have more users."
"Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution."
"The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"It needs work with visualization."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"They could improve the speed."
"The user interface is old."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
