Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Being able to transfer data with the Power Query feature is great for teaching with about one to two hundred rows of data. I am also able to see the relationship between multiple tables and create various sheets and dashboards."
"The visualization and reporting are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Microsoft B's beneficial features are that it is a Microsoft product and it is well known by the staff here in the company. It suited the available skills."
"Premium features that used to cost $5,000 per company per month recently became a lot more accessible. Microsoft recently implemented a per user feature in Power BI Premium; it's $20 per month."
"Allows business users with a mission to solve their own problems, without an IT person."
"It is quite easy to use and it helps me to achieve the projects that I've been assigned."
"It seems stable. I haven't heard of any difficulties from my clients that utilize Power BI."

"The interface could be improved."
"It has come a long way in terms of how it was working two years ago, but there are some things that you still can't do with it. For example, permission management and user access management are still a bit limited. It is basically based on the idea that everybody from the organization can see everything or limit the type of data they can see. If I want you to see only one report and the other guy to see another report, I can't do it. There should be a better way to manage permissions and users. It should also support external users much better."
"I have to write scripts to query data for analyzing performance."
"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."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"They could improve the update time."
"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."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
