We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and MicroStrategy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards."
"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"We prefer having our analytics capabilities in a single platform, which MicroStrategy's offers."
"Stability is great, especially with package deployments. It is very consistent and stable."
"The architecture is very solid."
"Speed for high level aggregation by using Intelligent Cubes."
"The solution is a very good enterprise tool with excellent enterprise functionality for security and user access. It also works perfectly in distribution, with everyone getting their own reports. It is very complex, so you can do whatever you want. If you want to make some data limitations, you can do it. I also like the internal in-memory engine with the Symantec layer. This makes the solution pretty powerful."
"It's useful if you need to create dashboards that you check every day. Also, we can create a queue, but it will be updated every day with scheduled updates."
"The platform can be easily monitored. You have quite a good overview of tasks which are being run."
"It offers us a lot of out-of-the-box tools, which give us the ability to automate a lot of our administrative tasks. Some things become menial: user creation, restarting a server at 10 o'clock on a Friday - simple things that they really give you the tools to be able to do. That's one thing I really like about the MicroStrategy platform from an administrative perspective."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers. This is an area for improvement in the product. What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."
"One area is that integrating data from different sources into QuickSight can be a bit tricky, especially with Amazon Connect. To get data flowing, you need to use two additional services and configure them correctly."
"It is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality. An intelligence tool should not be only for creating reports. Currently, we have to do all computational and mathematical operations outside. We should be able to do such operations in an intelligence tool like this. As an intelligence tool, it should support dynamic refresh. QuickSight currently supports the refresh at a minimum of one hour, and it is not suitable for dynamic dashboards that require frequent refreshes."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"MicroStrategy's mobile dashboard is still not a RESTful design."
"In the developer, there are things that you able to do in a document or a report that you are not able to do in the Dossier."
"Sometimes, it has become too complex to upgrade and adjust to the ecosystem."
"We would really like to see MicroStrategy have some support teams based more in Europe, because for now it seems that there is one person for the whole CE region. That is not exactly what we would like to see. We do know that MicroStrategy supports most places, either in the US or India, but those are different time zones, people, and cultures."
"The pricing could be lower because it is costly."
"They should give proper industry-based tutorials so that one can learn it easily and implement it based on the requirements. They should give more MMP files so that we can import a whole project altogether and learn from that project."
"We have the mobile server. We have not used it. That is because the people on our team have not been trained on it yet, but that is something that we want to do."
"It would be good if it had greater analytics so we could build these visualizations by ourselves with scripts."
