Power BI vs Tableau vs QlikView: Which BI Software is the Winner?

1

Microsoft Power BI

Microsoft Power BI is an analytics and data visualization tool that enables users to connect to a wide variety of data sources and create reports and dashboards. Though it originally emerged as an add-on to Microsoft Excel, Power BI has since grown to stand on its own as a formidable product that fulfills the needs of all companies, from small businesses to large enterprises. Its highlights include seamless integration with Microsoft Office technologies, powerful data preparation and data querying capabilities, a drag-and-drop data visualization builder and a perpetually free version.

Tableau

The Winner: It comes down to Tableau vs. Power BI – both solutions feature drag-and-drop dashboard creation, but Tableau offers out-of-the-box features like animations and pre-built dashboard templates that are available on Power BI only through customization or extensibility. Tableau also allows users to leverage any number of data points for analysis in data visualizations, while Power BI users are limited to 3,500 data points when it comes to drilling down into datasets, making Tableau’s dashboards more valuable when it comes to interactivity. This is a close one, but Tableau ultimately comes out ahead of Power BI. With its intuitive interface, customization options and real-time analytics, Tableau provides an all-inclusive and user-friendly experience that makes it the definitive front-runner for data visualization and dashboarding.

Qlik

QlikView offers authentication either through Windows, a user ID and password for the platform or through the license key. Access to data is managed through security tables, which users must build into the script through data queries in the same way as the solution normally loads data. These security tables can set access privileges for specific users or groups of users based on roles; users without authorization cannot access QlikView documents. Users can limit modification permissions within the security page in a QlikView document’s properties. QlikView and QlikView Server support a feature through which some of the data in a document can be hidden from the user based on the section access login.
