ValQ Collaborate edition is the all-inclusive edition of the product.

ValQ PBI Certified edition is the Microsoft-certified version of the product.

A pre-requisite for Microsoft certification is that the visuals do not access external resources. Unfortunately, the certification process does not distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ resource access – due to which even integration with Microsoft Azure is disallowed. Without this, features like collaboration & audit trail are not possible. As a result, we decided to release two editions of ValQ to give our users a choice. You may either go with the full-featured Collaborate edition or with the PBI-Certified edition – based on your comfort & convenience.
