Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."It is fine for basic reporting."
"The product is easy to learn."
"Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"The solution is simple to implement."
"It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"It's a very powerful analytical engine with Essbase as the back end. We can analyze, transform, or utilize a big chunk of data for our calculations."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"It is very fast compared to other normal databases, like SQL and MySQL."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."
"Compared to Power BI, I felt QuickSight lacks some features, like delayed drill-downs. Drill-downs were the main area where we found QuickSight lacking."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"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."
"It can be made more user-friendly as some users might find this solution hard to implement. Qlik Sense, for example, is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"The reporting tool of Essbase needs improvement."
"The consolidation engine, which is HFM or FCCS, needs some room for improvement."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"It's an expensive product to use."
