We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI, QlikView, and Teradata Data Lab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The dashboard features are really valuable, you can connect to multiple data points."
"It's a pretty scalable product."
"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."
"Allows business users with a mission to solve their own problems, without an IT person."
"The visualization part and its inclusion in a cloud-based application are valuable features."
"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."
"I liked that Microsoft Power BI handles a large amount of data. I can handle hundreds of rows from Postgres in a few minutes. I also like how it detects the relationship between the tables without explicitly saying that. It just detects the relationship automatically. That made it easier to work with the data."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The scalability is there."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"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."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"In Data Lab, you can schedule any testing you want to do in production. You can take a small subset of data from production, copy it there, and run all your tests. It reduces your testing costs because it's all in the lab."
"We found out that you can't share a report with others unless you have an additional package. That caught us off guard. It came as a program that somebody could go in, build a report, and show it, but you can't share it without having additional licenses."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"There are some other visuals that are available in the Microsoft marketplace, however, you need to use them via trial and error. There needs to be a write-up about how to use them with a quick guide describing the visual."
"Microsoft BI’s integration and visualization could be improved."
"If I compare it to Tableau, I'd say the visualizations can be better. We should have multiple options. By that I mean, while there are multiple options for the visualization, the look and feel of the dashboard when you compare to Tableau is on the lower side. Tableau has a much better visualization."
"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
"I am taking a course to be able to use the solution better. Some aspects of the solution are not straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Error handling."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"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."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
"The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code."
"Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better."
