Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Easy to use. End-users can make changes to the graphics."
"There was a lot of manual work involved with Excel, whereas once we moved on to Microsoft Power BI, it was a cleaner dashboard and it was faster too."
"Provides data feeds for enterprise KPI reporting."
"It is a pretty straightforward and flexible solution for data integration and modeling. It is a low-code solution. When you are doing data integration, you can use the GUI, which is very simple and straightforward. You can also do very intricate custom queries and model it at different levels. It is very easy to use and scalable."
"The initial setup is simple to do."
"The scalability overall has been quite good."
"It is a little easier at buildings charts and graphs than Tableau."
"I like the flexibility it offers."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"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."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"Microsoft BI has its own challenges in terms of user interface and how quickly somebody can learn how to use it."
"I am taking a course to be able to use the solution better. Some aspects of the solution are not straightforward."
"It should be more user-friendly and simple."
"Microsoft has made a lot of progress with Power BI in the past couple of years, but there is still some room for improvement. For example, Integration is one area they could work on. They are adding more integration with other Microsoft tools, but I would like it if they sped up the process."
"The solution doesn't integrate well with third-party tools."
"SSMS & SSRS."
"The UI is the main improvement that could be made. Specifically, there is something called DAX, in Power BI, which is complicated compared to calculated fields used in Tableau."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"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."
