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."The initial setup is relatively simple."
"The best feature of this solution is the way you can plan, communicate, and visualize all the knowledge you extract from the data for the customers. I like the way you can show or visualize the information a client needs to answer a business question."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."
"Ability to extract data from a variety of sources and systems."
"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."
"It works well with SSAS, which we use to generate all different kinds of trending and analytics reports. Sometimes we use Power Query and DAX to build some aggregations on the Power BI side as well."
"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"This solution needs integration with SAS and more deep analysis functionality."
"I believe the price should be degressive, and we should have a lower, or better unit price if we have more users."
"The graphic interface could be better."
"It needs more graphics and overlays."
"It is getting better but still, there are opportunity areas in some aspects, especially the Windows OS dependency."
"Right now, their premium pricing is keeping us out of the premium market. The premium price per user just doesn't make sense for us, but we haven't reached the limit of 500 users to justify the premium."
"We found out that you can't share a report with others unless you have an additional package. That caught us off guard. It came as a program that somebody could go in, build a report, and show it, but you can't share it without having additional licenses."
"If you have to pull multiple data sources performance is somewhat lacking."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"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."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"The solution is quite costly."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
