Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Management reporting solution that's very stable and scalable."
"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty easy."
"We have found the product very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use."
"The DAX coding language is good for creating formulae."
"The sharing features are vital, especially the ability to share and test different shared dashboards."
"Power BI, once made available, can connect to various data sources, irrespective of the application, whether it be HR or business applications. The bank has many applications, but all eventually need to generate reports for tracking, distribution, or problem-finding based on analysis. Power BI was made available as part of the productivity suite to all businesses, which can connect to their applications and provide the reports and analysis they require."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"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."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"Maybe they can enhance the UI a bit. Right now, it's very basic, I would say, compared to the MicroStrategy or Qlik."
"It should be more user-friendly and simple."
"The solution struggles with large amounts of data."
"When there are large amounts of data being processed there are additional tools needed to handle it."
"I have been doing trial and error to figuring out how to do the data analyzing and modeling. There could be some improvement to simplify it."
"More connections with other systems should be added, which would allow for other integrations."
"Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"The user interface is old."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"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."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
