We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Other people can access data much more easily than before. Its usability is the main advantage, people in the company are using it."
"I like Microsoft BI's drill-down feature and its overall ease of use."
"It has provided customer purchase patterns and great visualization."
"It is in the cloud, which makes it easy for mobile access of reports and data."
"It works well with SSAS, which we use to generate all different kinds of trending and analytics reports. Sometimes we use Power Query and DAX to build some aggregations on the Power BI side as well."
"Ease of development and maintenance."
"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty easy."
"I think the visualization part is valuable."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"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."
"It is a stable product."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"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."
"Integration with products that are not Microsoft could be more improved."
"Areas of Power BI that could be improved are the learning curve for developers who come from non-technical backgrounds."
"In my opinion, the software is a little bit limited in terms of the flexibility it offers, with regard to the design of the visualization."
"Automation could be improved and performance enhanced."
"The solution could be more customizable and you do not have too much freedom on the code."
"One thing I would like to have is the scripting language, as they already have within Excel. It's already within a Microsoft business product, because Excel is the number one business product out there. So it would be nice to have the scripting capability in order to automate certain processes."
"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."
"It needs a wizard that covers all its options."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"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."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"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."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
