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."It gives us, the ability to do a lot of analysis quickly, similar to ad hoc analysis."
"We can see that it's really improved the way end users can do their own graphs and pick their own fields of information and present that in a nice way."
"The drill-down capabilities and automatic charts are the best ones. The visualization is also very good. In terms of visualization, no competing product, such as IBM Cognos or any other product, has the same capabilities."
"The best thing about this solution is that it is very user friendly. It is interactive in terms of visualizations. It is very eye-catching, and it attracts users. There are a lot of options to visualize the data in different drafts and views. I have used different visualization tools, and I found Power BI to be more efficient in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"The DAX coding language is good for creating formulae."
"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."
"The reports are easy to create."
"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"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."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"I have a little problem with Synapse Analytics because it's very new. It's a product that has many capabilities, but it is not very well developed. I have to see the list of permissions from one object. I can't do this in Synapse. I have to search on the web for a solution because I don't have the tool for it."
"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."
"Microsoft has made a lot of progress with Power BI in the past couple of years, but there is still some room for improvement. For example, Integration is one area they could work on. They are adding more integration with other Microsoft tools, but I would like it if they sped up the process."
"It should be more user-friendly and simple."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"Some kind of expression wizard, where the user can build a complex expression without any knowledge of DAX, can be a good addition to the product."
"We would like improvements made to the paginated reports so that it produces quality similarly to SSRS."
"Trend data and dashboards need improvement."
"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."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"The user interface is old."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
