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."Very intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"PowerBi is used to import our production data and generate dashboards, then integrates other Excel sheets to provide managers dashboards. This helps them get insights to make better OEE improvement decisions, mainly where to focus resources. We became able to see indicators from any time frame (day, week, month, or year), then could make better decisions."
"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."
"The solution is easy to use."
"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft BI are its intuitiveness and ease to use."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"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."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"This solution needs integration with SAS and more deep analysis functionality."
"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."
"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."
"The maps in Power BI could be improved. You deal with many maps over the years, like maps of America and Saudi Arabia. The maps aren't detailed enough, and there aren't enough visualization tools. Whenever I want to use a map, I struggle with choosing the right visualization."
"Most of the dashboarding tools have prebuilt graphs. So, you have to stick with them, unless you are going to use a third-party tool to create them, and then you are going to upload them to the BI tool. In Power BI, they started supporting this functionality and created a tool for that, but it isn't yet complete and mature. It is still exceeding the expectations and is better than most of the BI tools when it comes to creating custom graphs, but it needs more enhancement and simplification. It would be good to have a design tool provided by Power BI to design the graphs that we want and set the figures that we want on them."
"They can provide a user-friendly and easy way to use this tool for people who don't know about programming or technical things. It will be quite good if they can improve the look and feel and make it simpler to operate. They can make it easier to create some of the reports. They can also include predefined templates that you can directly use."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"They asked you to pay if you want to synchronize more than eight times, you would have to go to a Power BI enterprise license, which is much more costly."
"The pricing is high."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"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."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
