"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."
"I have found the best features to be the dashboard creation, graphs, charts, and presentation bar graphs."
"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."
"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"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."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"The scalability is there."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."

"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."
"We have used other solutions and the reporting functionality should be user-friendly and have a drag and drop feature should be available, but Microsoft BI doesn't have these features. When you are creating reports and you can't change as a user. Every time you need one developer or one technical person to make the changes."
"Microsoft BI's visualization could be better. Though Power BI's visualization has steadily improved over the years, it's not on the level tools like Tableau and SAS or some of the more expensive products on the market."
"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."
"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."
"They can provide a user-friendly and easy way to use this tool for people who don't know about programming or technical things. It will be quite good if they can improve the look and feel and make it simpler to operate. They can make it easier to create some of the reports. They can also include predefined templates that you can directly use."
"A lot of people work on Excel, so being able to export an Excel file as part of a subscription would be an improvement."
"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."
"Better source data connectors."
"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."
"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."
"Error handling."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
