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."The scalability overall has been quite good."
"It's user-friendly and provides data abstracting capabilities. We are also able to share reports with our colleagues very easily."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is real-time report tracking."
"What Power BI is, is a whole collection of templates of small amounts of data that can be used to do something for a real world project, that can be easily set up and become the business intelligence environment or a data warehouse for a large amount of data, for a real world customer. That's what is remarkable."
"The solution is easy to set up and implement."
"It has provided customer purchase patterns and great visualization."
"One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The language support is very good."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"When I create measures, sometimes the error messages aren't clear. It makes me spend more time searching for solutions. I need the error messages to be more specific. So, I would like clearer error messages when creating measures."
"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."
"There's always room for improvement for Microsoft Power BI, especially for the UX and the menus to make it more accessible to business users."
"These licenses are in US dollars. With a long-term license, the client is unaffected when the exchange rate goes up. However, if the exchange rate goes down, you don't get refunded from the excess money you've paid. I guess that is a risk you take in business."
"It would be nice to use other connectors to link with the data."
"I'm looking for something that can make it much easier to incorporate Power BI visuals or dashboards into, let's say, Power Apps – custom Power Apps or anything like that. The most important thing would be to seamlessly embed reports in applications. For example, to have buttons that can be navigated through multiple solutions – from Power Apps to Power BI to SharePoint – via links or something like that."
"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."
"The solution is quite costly."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"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."
"It needs work with visualization."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
