We recently looked over PowerBI and it didn't cut it. Crude mapcharts & limited viz capabilities. Lots of tools feature R integration. If your small to medium organization goes down the MS dynamix route then it may be worthwhile. There was a lot of potential there but not enough finished features to move us off the hybrid BI approach.
I work for a large organisation using Qlikview and there is currently a migration underway to Qlik Sense. To me, Power BI looks similar to the features that Qlik Sense provides. Is anyone out there considering moving from Qlik to Power BI?
Though I'm not moving to Qlik but has read about comparisons between top few analytics tools including Qlik, Power BI, Tableau, QS etc. Out of all, QlikView is highly adaptable and provides wide-ranging deep analytics. It also has integrations to Deltek products, so if you use Deltek for time & expense or earned value management (EVM) reporting, QlikView is a natural choice. Overall, QlikView also continues to have one of the industry’s highest customer satisfaction ratings.
On the other hand, Microsoft’s Power BI is inexpensive and plugs-in seamlessly with MS Office. It is a solid option if you need quick access to specific analytics or intensive reporting (and have personnel who are skilled in MS-based data queries). In the long run it may challenge QlikView, Tableau or other analytics tools. Microsoft Power BI is the only one of these three data visualization and analytics apps that have extensive R and big data-related integrations, ensuring this specific apps’ scalability for larger projects.
