It is a very easy-to-deploy solution. It is compatible with a lot of data sources. It is also very stable and scalable. There is also a very good forum and a lot of help and online training."
"It is a stable product."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"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."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"BI is scalable, but there are some problems with limited online storage."
"More connections with other systems should be added, which would allow for other integrations."
"We would like to have better SQL support for queries."
"Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data."
"It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake."
"The dashboard could be simplified."
"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."
"I believe there is room for improvement in terms of authentication and certain functionalities in Power BI. For instance, adjusting the width of columns is not easily done, as there is only an option to enable or disable automatic adjustment. This can be a significant drawback for clients who desire more flexibility."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"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."
"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."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
