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."The solution is quite scalable."
"The good part of it is that you can do whatever you want with it when it comes to building BI. In terms of languages, it supports Python, and it also natively supports R."
"Ease of development and maintenance."
"The interface is very easy to use."
"It's user-friendly and provides data abstracting capabilities. We are also able to share reports with our colleagues very easily."
"The scalability is good. We have 20 people in my organization using this solution and plan to increase usage."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility."
"Being able to transfer data with the Power Query feature is great for teaching with about one to two hundred rows of data. I am also able to see the relationship between multiple tables and create various sheets and dashboards."
"The language support is very good."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"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 valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"Defining a relationship was very confusing. There were circular directions for which I had to do a lot of adjustments in the data. They can do something to make it easier."
"You do need to do some hard coding for certain things in Microsoft BI."
"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."
"I am a SAP user and I would like this tool to have more connectors - and to more easily connect to - the ERP or SAP environment."
"I think because I'm moving more into RPA, I'd definitely like to see integration across the RPA, Power BI, or Tableau platforms, because that integration could then make automation and mundane reporting much faster."
"In my opinion, the software is a little bit limited in terms of the flexibility it offers, with regard to the design of the visualization."
"The solution is somewhat costly in comparison with MSBI tools."
"The dashboard could be simplified."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Better source data connectors."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
