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."Power BI is more powerful than other tools because it is new for us. Each new version has more capabilities, and we're expecting AI and ML features in the next version."
"I have found the quick reporting and the conductivity with all the data sources valuable."
"I like all the tools in Microsoft BI because they all have different purposes. There are a lot of people using Microsoft BI, and everybody is using it. The users have adapted well to the technology."
"Provides good data flow related to the container and control flow."
"Data integration is very useful in Power BI. It lets me collect data from many sources. For example, I can get data from Oracle databases and SQL Server databases at the same time."
"What I like about Power BI is how fast you are able to create dashboards and how fast you are able to fetch the data. You can connect to the database or data source, and then you can design your dashboards very easily."
"The uploading of information is very easy, as you just use an Excel sheet to start work right away and obtain the benefits of Power BI."
"It is easy to work with and very chic."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"You can switch views easily."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"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 graphic interface could be better."
"It should be more scalable for an enterprise-level implementation. When you deploy large data sets, the response has to be faster in Power BI. This is one thing that needs to be improved in it."
"I would like for the next release to have better desktop performance, especially for big databases. Additionally, I would like to have more integrations with programs like Salesforce in order to get more live data coming in."
"It is not yet ready for enterprises. For a big enterprise data model, it is not so stable, and it also doesn't scale so well."
"The cost of the solution can get high."
"I think that the solution is harder to use for people who are not experts in data."
"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."
"The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"It needs work with visualization."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
