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 most valuable feature is integration with Python."
"It's easy to create reports and it's easy to download the data from the corresponding report."
"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources."
"I find Power BI's reporting feature the most valuable. The solution has improved a lot. There are new features getting added day by day. In the past, they didn't even have the printing feature, but now they have it."
"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."
"The most interesting feature of Microsoft Power BI is that it's very user-friendly."
"I like how the Query Editor lets me manipulate the data, and the available visuals are good. You can do everything using the UI."
"The amount of customization that you can do is good, and it's relatively straightforward to do."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"It is a stable product."
"You can switch views easily."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"These licenses are in US dollars. With a long-term license, the client is unaffected when the exchange rate goes up. However, if the exchange rate goes down, you don't get refunded from the excess money you've paid. I guess that is a risk you take in business."
"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."
"It should be more user-friendly. There are very small or tiny icons that you need to move very carefully. If you go a little bit up and down, some of the values change. Its user interface should be improved. It should be like Tableau. Its performance is also slow and should be improved. I definitely feel some sort of speed issues with Power BI. The integration of Excel with Power BI would also be good."
"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."
"It needs more analytic tools."
"We need more integration capabilities."
"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly interface with Microsoft BI."
"It needs work with visualization."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"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."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Better source data connectors."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"The solution is quite costly."
