We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Qlik Sense based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Microsoft BI was very helpful for me because I had a huge variety of connections. It is very convenient to build reports, even if somebody has no experience using BI tools or data visualizations. Additionally, the performance is very good when generating reports."
"In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."
"Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft BI are its intuitiveness and ease to use."
"It's a great tool for visualization data, and it's free for engineers."
"It is a good platform for data analysis, organization, and all of the other interim performances that are necessary."
"What Power BI is, is a whole collection of templates of small amounts of data that can be used to do something for a real world project, that can be easily set up and become the business intelligence environment or a data warehouse for a large amount of data, for a real world customer. That's what is remarkable."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use. It's very useful for non-engineers and it is the ultimate solution for providing information and insights. Power BI is the best visualization tool I have ever worked with."
"Obviously and considering that Qlik Sense is a data visualization application, the most attractive feature is the fast handling of large amounts of data and the attractive visualization of the same."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Placing buttons on my sheets creates a unique user experience and clears up clutter at the same time."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are the integration and panel for reports. The integration is very fast even though we process a lot of information."
"This solution has improved our organization by making our analysis results available to customers."
"The Qlik Sense cloud insights advisor helps our business users to get the answers to their data questions so that they do not have to rely on IT/BI resources every time they have some data request."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop reporting."
"The GeoAnalytics paints such a clear picture. It provides a visual of our patient volume, giving us opportunities to see how we are trending in the surrounding cities, and making us more aware of locations that we need to focus more on."
"We would like it if they added more Python libraries in the Power BI service. For Power BI service right now, you can use Python, but it is limited to a few libraries or a few packages from Python."
"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."
"It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake."
"When there are large amounts of data being processed there are additional tools needed to handle it."
"I have been doing trial and error to figuring out how to do the data analyzing and modeling. There could be some improvement to simplify it."
"Most clients have MacBooks. Therefore, they use Tableau as Power BI Desktop is not available for the MacBook right now."
"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."
"The mobile app is very poor."
"We need more types of visualizations."
"They should generally focus more on the evolution of current capabilities rather than doing everything but only at 50% effectiveness."
"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."
"Integrated maps should become part of the Qlik Sense, as opposed to buying an additional module just to power the BI, which has it built-in natively within the application."
"They need to keep it as simple as possible but include as much advanced functionality as possible by positioning all the objects on the page, changing colors for all the objects, improving sheets actions, etc."
"I would like to see improvements in the Qlik Sense SaaS version, particularly in the front-end capabilities."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"Qlik application automation needs additional work and features."
