Even for ordinary users, they can create their own dashboard using Power BI."
"The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft BI are the variety of possibilities to connect to various data sources. The visualizations are easily done, have useful rollover functions, and there are continuous updates being made to the system. You can benefit from the various improvements."
"What I have found valuable about Microsoft BI is its performance and ease of use. The interface is very simple and it is accessible to everyone. If someone is new to this type of solution it is straightforward to understand."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Microsoft BI is very easy to set up and use."

"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."

"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."

"Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports."
"It should have more integrations."
"Automation could be improved and performance enhanced."
"I find the solution to be 70 percent stable."
"If you are having millions of rows of data or you have a large database, Microsoft BI's performance depends upon how powerful your hardware is. When I am handling large amounts of data I do not use Microsoft BI or Tableau because of this, I use D3."

"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."
"The pricing is high."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"They could improve the update time."
"The solution is quite costly."
"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."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
