    Chose Microsoft BI (MSBI)
    Specific data displays are some of the strongest aspects of Microsoft BI when compared to alternate programs. It also does a superior job in compatibility with many programs, especially those from Microsoft. Since my company primarily uses Office 365 and other Microsoft …

    Chose Microsoft BI (MSBI)
    The software stacks [well] because it has more graphics resolution and the colors are fresh and actualized. On the other hand, there is the Microsoft family software and this is an advantage. Microsoft has a lot of users around the world and it's like everyone knows how to do …

    Chose Microsoft BI (MSBI)
    One of the main reasons Microsoft BI was chosen by our company is because it is a reliable program. We tried different programs in the past (and currently also use other ones for certain reporting and analysis needs) but Microsoft BI was the least buggy out of our top choices.

    2. Specialist software like Tableau and Microsoft BI. This is the best choice in most cases due to …

    Chose QlikView
    I was forced into QV by QuickBooks -- I did not have the opportunity to evaluate it specifically against other packages.
    I have, however, seen Microsoft BI and BIRST --- both of which seem much more expensive (and perhaps complex) than QlikView. But I'm conjecturing a bit here.
