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."Many of my customers already use Microsoft products like Office 365, so I often propose Microsoft Power BI because it integrates well with all the standard Microsoft business tools. And it's the quickest tool to implement and start using daily."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Users can get up and running reporting on databases within minutes."
"The dashboard features are really valuable, you can connect to multiple data points."
"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"It is very good, and it supports the Microsoft ecosystem, including Excel, etc."
"What I have found valuable about Microsoft BI is its performance and ease of use. The interface is very simple and it is accessible to everyone. If someone is new to this type of solution it is straightforward to understand."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The scalability is there."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"You can switch views easily."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"I would like to see Machine Learning for Power Bi Pro users or an intermediate license to enable Machine Learning if you don't have access to a Premium account."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing for the solution."
"I would like to see some AI incorporated into this solution in the future."
"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."
"Microsoft has got a very large repository of all change suggestions which have been raised by the BI community. They keep on adding features that are very widely sought after by the community. We don't focus on product features. We focus on business requirements. To use the solution, we find that existing features are good enough and offer us a very effective solution."
"My main complaint is that the error messages need to be made more clear. Currently, they are either too generic or outright misleading, and finding the real problem is like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"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 still better UI designs they can go through. I'm assuming they are focusing more on capabilities rather than look-and-feel designs."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"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."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"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."
