Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have a lot of servers and applications from which we want reports, and it allows us to create reports from an SQL source or some other source."
"The standard BI visualization capabilities are great."
"Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."
"The most interesting feature of Microsoft Power BI is that it's very user-friendly."
"It gives us, the ability to do a lot of analysis quickly, similar to ad hoc analysis."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"It is stable enough. It has a lot of powerful functions. It can also be customized with the DAX language. It is also intuitive enough and incremental. You can start with something simple, and then step-by-step, you can increase the reports and dashboards according to your needs."
"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."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The solution is fast."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"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."
"Microsoft needs to provide more drivers to connect other data sources in a native way."
"The solution could be more customizable and you do not have too much freedom on the code."
"Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports."
"If I compare it to Tableau, I'd say the visualizations can be better. We should have multiple options. By that I mean, while there are multiple options for the visualization, the look and feel of the dashboard when you compare to Tableau is on the lower side. Tableau has a much better visualization."
"I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project."
"Microsoft BI lacks integration capabilities, so it needs to consider increasing its integration capabilities."
"If you are having millions of rows of data or you have a large database, Microsoft BI's performance depends upon how powerful your hardware is. When I am handling large amounts of data I do not use Microsoft BI or Tableau because of this, I use D3."
"It should be more user-friendly and simple."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"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 would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
