Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"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."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The main features of the solution are efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the notebook, data factory, and ease of use."
"The solution offers a free community version."
"The processing capacity is tremendous in the database."
"It's very simple to use Databricks Apache Spark."
"Automation with Databricks is very easy when using the API."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use SQL directly with Databricks."
"Databricks gives you the flexibility of using several programming languages independently or in combination to build models."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"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."
"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."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"I would like it if Databricks adopted an interface more like R Studio. When I create a data frame or a table, R Studio provides a preview of the data. In R Studio, I can see that it created a table with so many columns or rows. Then I can click on it and open a preview of that data."
"If I want to create a Databricks account, I need to have a prior cloud account such as an AWS account or an Azure account. Only then can I create a Databricks account on the cloud. However, if they can make it so that I can still try Databricks even if I don't have a cloud account on AWS and Azure, it would be great. That is, it would be nice if it were possible to create a pseudo account and be provided with a free trial. It is very essential to creating a workforce on Databricks. For example, students or corporate staff can then explore and learn Databricks."
"Databricks would benefit from enhanced metrics and tighter integration with Azure's diagnostics."
"I have seen better user interfaces, so that is something that can be improved."
"Doesn't provide a lot of credits or trial options."
"The Databricks cluster can be improved."
"Databricks can improve by making the documentation better."
"Would be helpful to have additional licensing options."
