Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use. It's very useful for non-engineers and it is the ultimate solution for providing information and insights. Power BI is the best visualization tool I have ever worked with."
"Its visualizations and dashboards are most valuable. Power BI is great in terms of visualizations and dashboards. The reports that we previously had were not very nice in terms of visualization. It also provides the ability to play with the data."
"My primary use is for view of the dashboard."
"Microsoft BI is very easy to set up and use."
"I like the flexibility it offers."
"It provides easy integration with Office tools."
"In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."
"The most valuable feature of QlikSense is that you can capture the data without modifying it and then perform the ETL (extract, transform, and load) process."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are the integration and panel for reports. The integration is very fast even though we process a lot of information."
"Qlik Sense helps us increase our organization's customer relationships and brings in more projects."
"This tool not only allows for consumption of the data in a visual way, but also allows the user to modify the question to get new answers."
"The visualizations are good and keep improving."
"On the fly questions can be answered with the "Qlik" of a button and drive forward discussions about policy, mission, and goals."
"The Qlik Sense cloud insights advisor helps our business users to get the answers to their data questions so that they do not have to rely on IT/BI resources every time they have some data request."
"This solution has improved our organization by making our analysis results available to customers."
"I would like to see the product offer more graphics to impact different audiences."
"They can improve the user interface a little bit to make it more user-friendly. When creating a dashboard, it is not very user-friendly. You have to click on a certain style and use your keyboard keys to move it. You cannot drag and drop it."
"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."
"It's not user-friendly; more tutorials, training, and better documentation would be helpful."
"It is definitely a wonderful analytics tool. However, database ETL, data integration functionality would be absolutely perfect in many cases. Currently, it doesn't get the job done and we need to extract, transform, and load the data from faulty data sets into something more suitable for the deployment of the analytics tool."
"They can improve it in terms of rule-based security. Currently, it has very limited rules."
"Things can slow down if you create too many pages."
"We haven't used it that long and I haven't come across anything that's stood out as needing to be fixed."
"A valuable improvement for this solution would be the enabling of us to host dashboards for our customers."
"Right now, it is complex and you have to understand the data model prior to analyzing it, so basically I would like to see an integration with Excel in the future."
"The product could be less expensive."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"Qlik Sense should have a conversion tool which automatically converts QlikView to Qlik Sense, so customers can easily migrate between the products of Qlik."
"We have faced some issues with NPrinting, so I feel there is some improvement needed such that it would allow the use of variables and calculative fields from Qlik."
"Areas for improvement include user-friendliness, self-service, and some of the visualization options for generating reports."
"Dates. My goodness, working with dates in set analysis can be a nightmare! Much room for improvement."
