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 definitely the visual aspect and the DAX capabilities to virtually do anything."
"We are able to collaborate on things and get insightful data visualizations."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"It's pretty easy to set up the product."
"We have found that the reporting and publishing are great."
"I like the downloadable visualizations a lot. I think that they give the user a very nice starting point in creating awesome dashboards, with the right way to tell their data story."
"The standard BI visualization capabilities are great."
"The user interface is easy to work with."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"The solution's documentation needs improvement."
"I would like to see the product offer more graphics to impact different audiences."
"The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics."
"Maybe they can enhance the UI a bit. Right now, it's very basic, I would say, compared to the MicroStrategy or Qlik."
"The graphic interface could be better."
"Microsoft BI can improve some of the visual level filters or visual functionality, that are available in other BI tools, such as Tableau or Qlik Sense."
"Some kind of expression wizard, where the user can build a complex expression without any knowledge of DAX, can be a good addition to the product."
"It is definitely a wonderful analytics tool. However, database ETL, data integration functionality would be absolutely perfect in many cases. Currently, it doesn't get the job done and we need to extract, transform, and load the data from faulty data sets into something more suitable for the deployment of the analytics tool."
"The solution is quite costly."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"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."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"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."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
