"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Tech support is very helpful."
"The drag and drop facility to easily change the data correctly is the most valuable feature. I am happy to see visualizations. It's easier to talk about and make people understand what is going on."
"The virtualization of Microsoft BI is very good."
"Very intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"The language support is very good."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The product doesn't support unstructured data. It doesn't support video, streaming, and strings of files."
"I think that the solution is harder to use for people who are not experts in data."
"Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region. Its usability could also be better, and it could also have more connections with different data sources."
"The DAX features need some improvement. It's not as easy as Excel. They need more DAX formulas."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."
"The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly interface with Microsoft BI."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
