"The solution is very easy to use."
"PowerBI – Self-service BI."
"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 use of graphics to show and view the data indicators is the most valuable feature. It is also very stable."
"Set analysis is great for its power user capabilities such as performing an IF on an aggregated column. The ability to create custom coloring expressions based on values is also a good idea although not as easy as I wished it was."
"Takes the super features of QlikView ETL capabilities to a whole new level with its new drag and drop feature, and extension capabilities derived from the robust Qlik API."
"Qlik DataMarket"
"Qlik Sense helps us increase our organization's customer relationships and brings in more projects."
"Placing buttons on my sheets creates a unique user experience and clears up clutter at the same time."
"For a deployment scenario, Qlik Sense is also very easy to use. I can start development from any platform, on-premise or cloud, and continue from where I left off."
"From siloed reports, we went to a centralized knowledge hub, combining cross-functional data, and helping decision-makers see the data as a whole, therefore making more informed decisions."
"We have had an easy time supplying content to our customers."
"Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region. Its usability could also be better, and it could also have more connections with different data sources."
"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."
"Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports."
"The on-premises version lacks some technical features that are available with the Cloud version."
"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."
"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."
"Power BI's drillthrough feature could be improved. I didn't like drillthrough and those options much, but I did like it in MicroStrategy."
"Microsoft has got a very large repository of all change suggestions which have been raised by the BI community. They keep on adding features that are very widely sought after by the community. We don't focus on product features. We focus on business requirements. To use the solution, we find that existing features are good enough and offer us a very effective solution."
"There is no downside."
"Better searching capabilities would be a nice addition."
"My advice to others is to make sure they have a good technical team. We have found that a lot of the consultants go in and out of the business and sometimes you are left alone without assistance."
"I wish the product had the ability for slightly more customization. The out-of-the box charts and visualizations are fantastic, but I want to be able to tweak it without having to add outside extensions and widgets."
"Possibly offering some more basic, simpler templates."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
"I am starting to work with Qlik Sense SaaS these days. This environment has its own reporting service, however, one of the things that could be better for the people that are already using Nprinting, is to have a Nprinting in SaaS."
"There is room for improvement in the learning curve when getting started, but training resources have been growing."
