"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."
"It's a straightforward setup."
"The solution is easy to set up and implement."
"The dashboards of Microsoft BI are easy to use."
"Helped identify bad data, enabling the corrections needed to the data for management."
"The solution's initial setup isn't too complicated."
"This product has a lot of features and most of them are user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"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."
"The language support is very good."
"Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region. Its usability could also be better, and it could also have more connections with different data sources."
"At times, I feel that the system needs improvement in single sign-on, especially for the on-premises side of the tool."
"It should be more scalable for an enterprise-level implementation. When you deploy large data sets, the response has to be faster in Power BI. This is one thing that needs to be improved in it."
"The biggest thing with Microsoft right now is better support. There should be more timely support. We can do 90% of it ourselves by the same token. When we're into the 10%, we do not get timely support via Microsoft's support team."
"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."
"It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake."
"Powerpoints are not available in the report server."
"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."
"Error handling."
"It needs work with visualization."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"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."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
