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.
"It allows individuals to do the analysis themselves."
"Its ease of use is most valuable."
"We are able to collaborate on things and get insightful data visualizations."
"It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on."
"The data can be accessed from anywhere."
"Everything that's in M Query and DAX is the heart of Power BI because with these tools you can make up for a lot of other missing features."
"It is useful for bringing visualization to data. It calculates counts, ratios, etc."
"The solution is stable."
"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 useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"The scalability is there."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"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."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"It would be nice to use other connectors to link with the data."
"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."
"The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things."
"The upgrade process could be improved."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly interface with Microsoft BI."
"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."
"Adding paginated reports to this tool could be of great help for users who want to move away from SSRS."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"It needs work with visualization."
"The user interface is old."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"They could improve the speed."
