"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."
"Constant collaboration is the most valuable. I can build a dashboard, and several co-workers can access this dashboard. We can share information that is important for decision-making. 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."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"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 enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."

"The solution is fast."
"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."

"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."

"The accounting data needs improvement."
"It seems that the solution could use more analytics to help users draw more contextual business insights. Right now, you need other solutions for that."

"Creating dashboards could be easier."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"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 user interface is old."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
