Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There is a lot of variety in Power BI. In particular, the visuals are quite rich and the feature set has been growing rapidly in the last two years. Possibly the best part for me is that there are a lot of ways to connect with data sources."
"It is in the cloud, which makes it easy for mobile access of reports and data."
"The scalability overall has been quite good."
"The advantages of Microsoft Power BI stem from the fact that it is really easy to use. The drag and drop facilities provided by the product are good."
"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."
"What I like most is that I can do everything in Power BI that I can do in Excel."
"Most of the clients I am interacting with are looking towards Power BI because of the cost and simplicities. It provides an entire feature set and a complete solution. It has tight integration with Office 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Technology Stack, and datatypes like R and Python."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft BI are its intuitiveness and ease to use."
"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."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"You can switch views easily."
"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 use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"The integration with other solutions could be improved for reporting aspects."
"The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things."
"You need to purchase upgraded support separately."
"I think that the product would benefit by increasing the range of visuals and graphics readily available, as opposed to using a third party included as part of the product."
"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."
"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."
"I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions."
"It would be better if they had some video tutorials. Most people from an Excel background may struggle with measures in Microsoft BI."
"They could improve the update time."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"They could improve the speed."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
