"It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."
"The ease of integration and connectivity stands out as the most critical aspect, followed closely by the flexibility to customize reports and dashboards."
"What I like most is that I can do everything in Power BI that I can do in Excel."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"Microsoft BI is very easy to set up and use."
"My favorite feature is the power query editor, where it can do the data transformations."
"It works well with SSAS, which we use to generate all different kinds of trending and analytics reports. Sometimes we use Power Query and DAX to build some aggregations on the Power BI side as well."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"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."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"It should be easier to use when there are multiple system sources."
"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."
"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."
"We would like it if they added more Python libraries in the Power BI service. For Power BI service right now, you can use Python, but it is limited to a few libraries or a few packages from Python."
"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."
"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."
"It has limited performance capabilities in terms of connecting to large transactional databases, but it is fine for simple and quick queries from Excel spreadsheets or one table. The premium level is going to be more applicable for the higher transaction-level databases."
"The solution struggles with large amounts of data."
"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."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"The pricing is high."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Error handling."
"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."
