Technically, a QlikView chart is a cube. A cube, with all the limitations of a cube, e.g. you cannot have too many dimensions, because then it becomes too slow.
But there, the similarities end. The systems are radically different.
Microsoft BI is an add-on on top of SQL Server 2014 and with it you can manage cubes. But it is not like in QlikView: In QlikView where you make a selection and it affects all charts, i.e. you are really not very limited by the fact that a cube only can have a few dimensions, since you can use several cubes simultaneously. Instead, you are more limited, since cubes normally don't interact with each other. You normally see one cube - one chart - and that's it.
You will never get the flexibility and user adoption with a classical cube tool. But then again - I am biased: I work for Qlik...
