Cons
"The product should improve its performance.""Technical support is in minor need of improvement so that they can solve problems in a more timely manner.""It is not easy to integrate the product with other tools in the market.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""It would be really nice to have better integration between the solution and Power BI.""In this solution, the cost should be reduced for the enterprise edition.""We encounter some barriers while trying to build a report.""It doesn't have quite the flexibility of a Tableau or something like that. Many users are more comfortable with Tableau and I'm not quite sure why that is right now, but it seems to be the case."

More Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Cons →

"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.""The pricing is high.""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.""I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date.""Needs improvement with UI transparency.""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.""There is no automation or drag and drop functionality.""They could improve the update time."
