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 reports are easy to create."
"It is very good, and it supports the Microsoft ecosystem, including Excel, etc."
"The dashboard features are really valuable, you can connect to multiple data points."
"It is useful for bringing visualization to data. It calculates counts, ratios, etc."
"With the out-of-the-box Data Platform and Business Intelligence ecosystem, you get the entire platform with a single license."
"What's most valuable in this tool is that it gives its users detailed error messages. It's a very stable data analytics tool, and it offers good scalability."
"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."
"The fact that you can visualize items is great."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"The solution is fast."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"You can switch views easily."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"We can scale it if we need to."
"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 could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
"Power BI could be improved by implementing more options for data integration. Nowadays, the cloud takes care of scalability and security. As we all know, data sources are increasing, so we get data from a variety of streams. But if we could get the downstream data into the database and update the reports more easily, Power BI would be better."
"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."
"I would like to see a change in the premium capacity."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could be simplified and have a more complete product package rather than a suite of products that we have to put together."
"In the future, Microsoft BI can be better by increasing user-friendliness"
"There could be an integrated AI that can automatically analyze some of your data and highlight or provide suggestions. For example, when you are looking at a data set, it can suggest putting it into a certain type of chart so that you gain different insights or a trend line. You would almost have templates that it would recommend for you."
"The formatting template could be improved."
"Better source data connectors."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"They could improve the update time."
"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."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
