Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Like all Microsoft products, it is very easy to set up initially."
"They find Power BI's data pull mechanism to be sufficient and cost-effective, especially considering the stability it provides. In comparison with other solutions, Power BI stands out as a fantastic choice. Therefore, I would definitely recommend sticking with the Pro license."
"Microsoft BI is scalable."
"The uploading of information is very easy, as you just use an Excel sheet to start work right away and obtain the benefits of Power BI."
"We like the drag and drop interactability visualization. We really like that. It's user-friendly."
"The best feature of this solution is the way you can plan, communicate, and visualize all the knowledge you extract from the data for the customers. I like the way you can show or visualize the information a client needs to answer a business question."
"The solution is easy to set up and implement."
"In the early stage of an implementation, it not only helps decision making, but it allows people to have insight into problems with data so that they can go and get it corrected."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"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."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"There are some connector-related issues in their MSBA solution."
"It should have more integrations."
"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."
"Drill-down in dashboards needs to improved. The capability only works in Power BI Desktop today. We need to have an alternative approach today."
"The solution could improve the extraction and transformation of data. For example, you transform the data and then send it to Microsoft BI without having to use your own API. We are only providing the API to Power BI, and then Power BI is doing the job."
"It should be more user-friendly and simple."
"From a scalability and performance perspective and based on my understanding and feedback from end users, there's room for improvement in data processing, scaling up, and leveraging the cloud. That could be an enhancement area for me to look into."
"The DAX in Microsoft BI is quite difficult."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"The user interface is old."
"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 pricing is high."
"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."
