Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is stable."
"I think the visualization part is valuable."
"With the out-of-the-box Data Platform and Business Intelligence ecosystem, you get the entire platform with a single license."
"The stability is good."
"Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"It is really flexible. The charts and reports are really nice. You have the flexibility of self-service."
"When we are introducing Microsoft BI to our clients, if they're familiar with Excel, the transition phase will be much easier for them. They can easily switch from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft BI. The core foundation or the base technology is the same in both tools. There are a few limitations in Microsoft Excel, and this is where Microsoft BI comes in."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"The language support is very good."
"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."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"Creating dashboards could be easier."
"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."
"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."
"There's always room for improvement for Microsoft Power BI, especially for the UX and the menus to make it more accessible to business users."
"The integration with other solutions could be improved for reporting aspects."
"Our expectation is putting BI to work in real-time data collection systems in the maritime environment."
"Powerpoints are not available in the report server."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"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."
"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."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
"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."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"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."
