"The most valuable features of Microsoft BI are its intuitiveness and ease to use."
"One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others."
"Good CS and administration."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"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."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The solution could improve by providing more free visuals. A lot of them are very nice but you have to purchase them."
"The on-premises version lacks some technical features that are available with the Cloud version."
"Actionable insights could be better."
"The DAX features need some improvement. It's not as easy as Excel. They need more DAX formulas."
"In my opinion, the software is a little bit limited in terms of the flexibility it offers, with regard to the design of the visualization."
"I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project."
"It should be more user-friendly. There are very small or tiny icons that you need to move very carefully. If you go a little bit up and down, some of the values change. Its user interface should be improved. It should be like Tableau. Its performance is also slow and should be improved. I definitely feel some sort of speed issues with Power BI. The integration of Excel with Power BI would also be good."
"I would like to see more visualization options."
"The solution is quite costly."
"They could improve the speed."
"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."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"It needs work with visualization."
"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."
