We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and Qlik Sense based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Qlik Sense is robust, flexible, and has more capabilities than most solutions in the marketplace today. In contrast, many users feel Amazon QuickSight is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization offering is very basic and it also has minimal functionality and lacks a solid security protocol.
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"The product is easy to learn."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."
"We have been using Qlik Sense to generate reports that have taken hours to prepare before that we are now able to update in a couple of minutes and are available to users on a centralized platform where they are able to get the required reports."
"The solution is scalable."
"On the fly questions can be answered with the "Qlik" of a button and drive forward discussions about policy, mission, and goals."
"The product responds fast for data analysis."
"The product has many great features like easy and fast implementation, flexible data loading, and in-memory processing, but the Set Analysis is what I think is the most valuable. It makes the product very powerful."
"It is simple to develop, which is good."
"Qlik DataMarket"
"The flexibility of Qlik Sense and the addition of 3rd party extensions allow us to extend the use of Qlik Sense beyond analytics and bring the platform to the core of our digital workplace, augmenting analytics with workflow, and team collaboration."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"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."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"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."
"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."
"We want the next version of this solution to be cloud-based so that each user can access it from anywhere in the world with their phone, tablet, or computer without a VPN connection."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"The on-demand report generation button in Qlik Sense currently doesn't work if NPrinting requires Okta verification, which our company uses."
"The scripts available in the solution are not great."
"More focus needs to be on data streaming/real-time data reporting."
"The security rules should be made easier to use."
"There is an inability to effectively manage (pre)caching (scheduling, assigning for respective user groups, etc), especially without community extensions or uour own development."
"If a team wants to keep track of source code changes, there is not an out-of-the-box solution for it."
