"The interface is very easy to use."
"Power BI stands out because it provides considerable flexibility in creating reports, dashboards, and various types of analytics to meet those dynamic requirements. It is lightweight and easy to use with good support."
"Its ease of use is most valuable."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light."
"Ability to extract data from a variety of sources and systems."
"Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset."
"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 product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."

"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."
"I think that there should be visuals for financial reporting videos. It should just be a plug and play because there is a lot of coding that goes into it with different clients."
"I have to write scripts to query data for analyzing performance."
"This solution's performance when handling big data could be improved. Right now, if you're handling big data, the application becomes slow and the performance is very low."
"Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data."
"I believe the price should be degressive, and we should have a lower, or better unit price if we have more users."
"The solution struggles with large amounts of data."
"It needs an AI which can choose the appropriate connection strings and provide options for connections."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help."
"The pricing is high."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"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."
"Error handling."
"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."
