We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI, QlikView, and Yellowfin based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."The ease of integration and connectivity stands out as the most critical aspect, followed closely by the flexibility to customize reports and dashboards."
"The use of graphics to show and view the data indicators is the most valuable feature. It is also very stable."
"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."
"There was a lot of manual work involved with Excel, whereas once we moved on to Microsoft Power BI, it was a cleaner dashboard and it was faster too."
"In the process of using data there is the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL). For extracting we are using another software, for transforming we are using our own coding in C#, and then we use Microsoft BI for loading the information. Microsoft BI displays information very well."
"In contrast to what we were using before I think that Power BI has given us more extensive results."
"MS SQL & SQL Server Analysis Services."
"It provides easy integration with Office tools."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"The solution is fast."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"The solution could improve the extraction and transformation of data. For example, you transform the data and then send it to Microsoft BI without having to use your own API. We are only providing the API to Power BI, and then Power BI is doing the job."
"I think that the product would benefit by increasing the range of visuals and graphics readily available, as opposed to using a third party included as part of the product."
"It is not the right tool to do deeper analysis or predictions. When you have some data and you want to do some deep analysis, there is no feature to help you with this."
"The solution could use a faster speed on certain interactions and a refresh of the dashboards."
"We need more integration capabilities."
"Microsoft has got a very large repository of all change suggestions which have been raised by the BI community. They keep on adding features that are very widely sought after by the community. We don't focus on product features. We focus on business requirements. To use the solution, we find that existing features are good enough and offer us a very effective solution."
"The Microsoft BI interface should be simpler and more user-friendly. I find it very difficult to move between their data sources and their analytics section."
"SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is not user friendly."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"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."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"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."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
