We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data integration is very useful in Power BI. It lets me collect data from many sources. For example, I can get data from Oracle databases and SQL Server databases at the same time."
"Ability to extract data from a variety of sources and systems."
"With Power BI, you're able to store your data within spreadsheets and SharePoints, and then have Power BI pull the data out and report on it. So we actually saved a ton of money not needing to load the data into databases, which is a big prerequisite for many other reporting tools."
"Microsoft BI is easy to use and to design. I found Microsoft BI a lot easier than Tableau."
"It is a little easier at buildings charts and graphs than Tableau."
"One of the most valuable features of Power BI is the ease of use. It is comfortable and there is not a steep learning curve for this solution. If you have some idea of the data and basic visualization ideas, you can use this solution comfortably."
"It is useful for bringing visualization to data. It calculates counts, ratios, etc."
"The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"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."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"I would like it to be a little bit more secure when I'm using the design feature on my desktop. For example, to have the ability to set up security passwords for opening the file. Currently, they don't have that. Tableau, for example, has a visual way of doing data processing steps, whereas the Power BI system still has some code, although it is very low code. It would be great to have the kind of view that Tableau has."
"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."
"I think that the product would benefit by increasing the range of visuals and graphics readily available, as opposed to using a third party included as part of the product."
"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."
"I would like to see some AI incorporated into this solution in the future."
"We need more integration capabilities."
"The report server feature is quite limited."
"I would like to see a change in the premium capacity."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"It needs work with visualization."
"They could improve the speed."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"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."
