QlikView and MicroStrategy are leading competitors in business intelligence and data analytics. While QlikView offers a more intuitive user experience through its associative data model, MicroStrategy provides comprehensive enterprise-scale functionalities that appeal to larger organizations.
Features: QlikView's Associative Query Logic technology allows for flexible data exploration without OLAP cubes, complemented by in-memory processing for dynamic analysis. It offers an easy-to-use interface with self-service BI and high-speed data processing. MicroStrategy leverages OLAP cubes, providing robust reporting and dashboards, and offers advanced analytics capabilities. Its scalability and mobile analytics make it suitable for large enterprises.
Room for Improvement: QlikView needs better integration with cloud solutions and improved data visualization tools. Its dependency on RAM can limit scalability, and users find scripting challenging. MicroStrategy requires a simpler interface to reduce its complexity and a more accessible pricing model. Users desire improved self-service BI capabilities and find its learning curve steep.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: QlikView is primarily deployed on-premises and offers a supportive community, although support quality may vary with partners. MicroStrategy supports public and hybrid cloud deployments, consistently providing high-quality customer service, though criticized for its complex implementation.
Pricing and ROI: QlikView's high licensing costs are offset by its quick ROI from fast data insights. However, MicroStrategy's pricing is often viewed as prohibitive for smaller businesses. Despite this, its scalable licensing offers value for enterprise applications and long-term savings.
MicroStrategy could learn from Power BI's user-friendly interface.
The MicroStrategy interface is not as good as Power BI, especially concerning the user-friendly aspects.
