Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has greatly improved our reporting capabilities."
"The dashboard features are really valuable, you can connect to multiple data points."
"Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset."
"Reporting is the best thing about Power BI. And it could help improve decision-making in many ways. Power BI is flexible and easier to use compared to tools."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light."
"Its ease of use is most valuable."
"The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website."
"There are some great automation elements in the product."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"The language support is very good."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"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."
"It is not yet ready for enterprises. For a big enterprise data model, it is not so stable, and it also doesn't scale so well."
"When there are large amounts of data being processed there are additional tools needed to handle it."
"It needs a wizard that covers all its options."
"The upgrade process could be improved."
"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."
"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could be simplified and have a more complete product package rather than a suite of products that we have to put together."
"I have found using Microsoft BI is not easy. For example, trying to use the auto-refresh feature is not simple."
"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."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"The solution is quite costly."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
