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 is a good platform for data analysis, organization, and all of the other interim performances that are necessary."
"Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."
"Easy to use and the visualization is valuable."
"The standard BI visualization capabilities are great."
"The drill-down capabilities and automatic charts are the best ones. The visualization is also very good. In terms of visualization, no competing product, such as IBM Cognos or any other product, has the same capabilities."
"It is very well integrated with other Microsoft products, including PowerApps and Excel, as well as Access, so it fits well into our workflow."
"The solution has a good toggling feature."
"I have found the quick reporting and the conductivity with all the data sources valuable."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"The solution is somewhat costly in comparison with MSBI tools."
"The solution could improve the extraction and transformation of data. For example, you transform the data and then send it to Microsoft BI without having to use your own API. We are only providing the API to Power BI, and then Power BI is doing the job."
"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."
"I would like to see the product offer more graphics to impact different audiences."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"The report server feature is quite limited."
"One opportunity for improvement would be on the Power Query side. As a consultant, I know Power Query is not the main strength of Power BI. It is not where Power BI shines, but many customers use Power Query to do full ETL workloads for deliverable cookies."
"The initial installation is difficult."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"It needs work with visualization."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"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's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"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."
