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."I've seen no issues with BI's stability."
"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."
"The solution is easy to set up and implement."
"It is really flexible. The charts and reports are really nice. You have the flexibility of self-service."
"There is a lot of variety in Power BI. In particular, the visuals are quite rich and the feature set has been growing rapidly in the last two years. Possibly the best part for me is that there are a lot of ways to connect with data sources."
"Microsoft B's beneficial features are that it is a Microsoft product and it is well known by the staff here in the company. It suited the available skills."
"Power BI is more powerful than other tools because it is new for us. Each new version has more capabilities, and we're expecting AI and ML features in the next version."
"Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are its speed and seamless development of web technologies."
"We have had an easy time supplying content to our customers."
"The ability to access data from multiple sources in one application. This has been invaluable."
"The flexibility of a non-IT developed solution allows for fast to market solutions."
"Quick reporting."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"We began to see how our processes and other team's processes were negatively affecting the bottom line. We were able to provide tips to other teams to help improve their processes."
"We have found the use of AI to be the most valuable feature."
"Needs single sign-on."
"Powerpoints are not available in the report server."
"It should have more integrations."
"Power BI doesn't support some open-source data sources that are new, such as SnowSQL, Iceberg, or ClickHouse."
"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."
"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."
"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."
"A lot of people work on Excel, so being able to export an Excel file as part of a subscription would be an improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the storytelling mode and the report sharing. Qlik Sense also does not have a subscription base like Power BI. So a lot of the analysis is housed in community pages that are managed by either the author or a database administrator, or whoever the Qlik Sense manager is there."
"The product could be less expensive."
"We want the next version of this solution to be cloud-based so that each user can access it from anywhere in the world with their phone, tablet, or computer without a VPN connection."
"In my opinion, collaborative development of the Qlik Apps is a bit tricky and difficult in the Qlik Sense Cloud."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"Qlik Sense should have a conversion tool which automatically converts QlikView to Qlik Sense, so customers can easily migrate between the products of Qlik."
"There are occasional stability problems, but Qlik support is excellent at correcting anything that arises."
"There is an inability to effectively manage (pre)caching (scheduling, assigning for respective user groups, etc), especially without community extensions or uour own development."
