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 solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."
"Good reporting and data analysis tool that's user-friendly, easy to deploy, stable, and scalable."
"I like having the ability to connect Excel files as data inputs."
"What Power BI is, is a whole collection of templates of small amounts of data that can be used to do something for a real world project, that can be easily set up and become the business intelligence environment or a data warehouse for a large amount of data, for a real world customer. That's what is remarkable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use."
"We've used Microsoft BI for the general use cases around reporting and dashboarding."
"The scalability is there."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"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."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."
"It should have more integrations."
"Powerpoints are not available in the report server."
"There are some other visuals that are available in the Microsoft marketplace, however, you need to use them via trial and error. There needs to be a write-up about how to use them with a quick guide describing the visual."
"The Microsoft BI interface should be simpler and more user-friendly. I find it very difficult to move between their data sources and their analytics section."
"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."
"Lacks the ability to copy data from BI into PowerPoint."
"The solution could improve by having more attractive graphical charts."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"The user interface is old."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"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."
"It needs work with visualization."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
