"The fact that you can visualize items is great."
"It's the analytic engine in terms of the interface on the Power BI environment, as opposed to pivot tables, and it's a mobile solution."
"The product is stable."
"The stability is good."
"The ease of integration and connectivity stands out as the most critical aspect, followed closely by the flexibility to customize reports and dashboards."

"The visual outlet or the visualization aspect can be improved because the settings piece is quite problematic. It requires a lot of time to set the visuals and check. It is quite fiddly to change all the settings and font sizes. It just needs better ability in terms of using templates or visualization templates to get the vision. Our users always benchmark based on the product, and they don't appreciate everything under the bonnet. The only rating is based on the actual reports in the settings for the dashboard. They should make it look a bit funky and a bit more aesthetically pleasing on the eye. It is quite a fiddly tool, but other than that, it is pretty slick. Because it is community-driven, the marketplace tends to be changing forever. You get the standard visualizations, and you've also got all other marketplace visualizations that require you to spend a bit more money and purchase things in the marketplace. With certain visualizations, there is no longevity. I had used certain visualizations, but they discontinued them, and I had to rebuild my reports, which is obviously very frustrating. There should be some sort of stabilization around how the marketplace visuals impact the users when they expire."
"From any improvement perspective, I want the product to be made available to users free of cost...The stability and scalability of the product can be better."
"There are some problems with the functionality of this solution. The dashboard is not very user friendly and is quite complicated."
"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
"We need more integration capabilities."
"Automation could be improved and performance enhanced."
"We did have some issues building the Microsoft blog."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"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."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"The pricing is high."
