Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset."
"Good CS and administration."
"Implementation is very quick and the solution is very user-friendly."
"We are able to collaborate on things and get insightful data visualizations."
"It allows individuals to do the analysis themselves."
"Power BI, once made available, can connect to various data sources, irrespective of the application, whether it be HR or business applications. The bank has many applications, but all eventually need to generate reports for tracking, distribution, or problem-finding based on analysis. Power BI was made available as part of the productivity suite to all businesses, which can connect to their applications and provide the reports and analysis they require."
"I like Microsoft BI's drill-down feature and its overall ease of use."
"My primary use is for view of the dashboard."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The solution is fast."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"We would like to have better SQL support for queries."
"Microsoft BI could improve by having better collaboration between developers working on the same dashboard. The developer platform is all done on a single laptop and it's difficult to have the same project files work. Two developers have to go back and forth. You have to have the project file on one developer's laptop making it difficult to co-develop."
"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."
"The data source definition is all over the place."
"From a scalability and performance perspective and based on my understanding and feedback from end users, there's room for improvement in data processing, scaling up, and leveraging the cloud. That could be an enhancement area for me to look into."
"here are still better UI designs they can go through. I'm assuming they are focusing more on capabilities rather than look-and-feel designs."
"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."
"Power BI could be improved by implementing more options for data integration. Nowadays, the cloud takes care of scalability and security. As we all know, data sources are increasing, so we get data from a variety of streams. But if we could get the downstream data into the database and update the reports more easily, Power BI would be better."
"The solution is quite costly."
"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."
"Better source data connectors."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"They could improve the speed."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
