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 stability is good."
"Easy to use. End-users can make changes to the graphics."
"With the out-of-the-box Data Platform and Business Intelligence ecosystem, you get the entire platform with a single license."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The solution's initial setup isn't too complicated."
"It is a little easier at buildings charts and graphs than Tableau."
"The sharing features are vital, especially the ability to share and test different shared dashboards."
"It's user-friendly and provides data abstracting capabilities. We are also able to share reports with our colleagues very easily."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"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 aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"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."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"Power BI shows reports on actual data, not metadata."
"We haven't used it that long and I haven't come across anything that's stood out as needing to be fixed."
"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."
"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."
"If you need data in real-time, it's not an ideal solution."
"Our expectation is putting BI to work in real-time data collection systems in the maritime environment."
"Things can slow down if you create too many pages."
"At times, I feel that the system needs improvement in single sign-on, especially for the on-premises side of the tool."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"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."
"It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"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."
"The user interface is old."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"They could improve the update time."
