Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website."
"Many of my customers already use Microsoft products like Office 365, so I often propose Microsoft Power BI because it integrates well with all the standard Microsoft business tools. And it's the quickest tool to implement and start using daily."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an easy-to-use tool."
"It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."
"Provides a full platform (database, ETL, reporting, analysis, and so on)"
"Its data visualization provides the user the ability to quickly look at data and focus on relevant information, allowing them to make an immediate decision."
"The product is easy to use and simple to navigate."
"The use of graphics to show and view the data indicators is the most valuable feature. It is also very stable."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"You can switch views easily."
"It is a stable product."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"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."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"It's scalable."
"Microsoft BI can improve some of the visual level filters or visual functionality, that are available in other BI tools, such as Tableau or Qlik Sense."
"Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data."
"Trend data and dashboards need improvement."
"I feel the modeling page should be simplified."
"It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake."
"Actionable insights could be better."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"Error handling."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"They could improve the speed."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
