"The visualization part and its inclusion in a cloud-based application are valuable features."
"The most interesting feature of Microsoft Power BI is that it's very user-friendly."
"What I have found valuable about Microsoft BI is its performance and ease of use. The interface is very simple and it is accessible to everyone. If someone is new to this type of solution it is straightforward to understand."
"What I like about Power BI is how fast you are able to create dashboards and how fast you are able to fetch the data. You can connect to the database or data source, and then you can design your dashboards very easily."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website."
"The use of graphics to show and view the data indicators is the most valuable feature. It is also very stable."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"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."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"We would like to have better SQL support for queries."
"Sluggish performance when handling large amounts of data."
"Right now, their premium pricing is keeping us out of the premium market. The premium price per user just doesn't make sense for us, but we haven't reached the limit of 500 users to justify the premium."
"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."
"Microsoft BI typically connects to a database, often SQL Server, but it's also capable of connecting to multiple databases, pulling data from them, and allowing for data consolidation. You can then aggregate and generate dashboards and reports from this combined data. Personally, I wouldn't claim to have the expertise to suggest significant changes or additional features, as it functions quite well as is."
"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."
"I feel the modeling page should be simplified."
"Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"They could improve the speed."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"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."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
