We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You don't need much support with Microsoft Power BI because it has such a large base of users who can answer your questions on their forums. There are also many video tutorials and webinars available online that offer solutions to whatever problems you may have."
"Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."
"Two valuable most features are the ability to create columns and create measures."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the visual aspect and the DAX capabilities to virtually do anything."
"The scalability overall has been quite good."
"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."
"It's a pretty scalable product."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"In the future, Microsoft BI can be better by increasing user-friendliness"
"I would like for the next release to have better desktop performance, especially for big databases. Additionally, I would like to have more integrations with programs like Salesforce in order to get more live data coming in."
"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 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."
"Sluggish performance when handling large amounts of data."
"The Microsoft BI interface should be simpler and more user-friendly. I find it very difficult to move between their data sources and their analytics section."
"More connections with other systems should be added, which would allow for other integrations."
"The upgrade process could be improved."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"The user interface is old."
