Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution has improved our ability in making decisions and explaining data."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"I like the downloadable visualizations a lot. I think that they give the user a very nice starting point in creating awesome dashboards, with the right way to tell their data story."
"Power BI stands out because it provides considerable flexibility in creating reports, dashboards, and various types of analytics to meet those dynamic requirements. It is lightweight and easy to use with good support."
"The interface is very fluid."
"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."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature is integration with Python."
"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."
"The language support is very good."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"The solution is fast."
"The integration with other solutions could be improved for reporting aspects."
"One opportunity for improvement would be on the Power Query side. As a consultant, I know Power Query is not the main strength of Power BI. It is not where Power BI shines, but many customers use Power Query to do full ETL workloads for deliverable cookies."
"The solution could improve by simplifying the user interface and adding integration or compatibility with APA."
"This solution's performance when handling big data could be improved. Right now, if you're handling big data, the application becomes slow and the performance is very low."
"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."
"There is no specific area that I have a problem with. It's just that, with whatever feature you come across, every visual has its own formatting and behavior. What you get in one visual for a feature, you don't seem to get in another."
"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."
"Maybe they can enhance the UI a bit. Right now, it's very basic, I would say, compared to the MicroStrategy or Qlik."
"They could improve the speed."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Error handling."
"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."
"The pricing is high."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"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."
