Has efficient integration capabilities, but the stability needs improvement
The platform has a lot of limitations. We used it for two months and decided to change to another product.

Enables users to present data in diagrammatic formats, but the user interface must be improved

Cons
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView.""An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes.""I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it.""It's not ideal for reports that are more complex.""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.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""The product has some storage and SPICE data issues.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features."

  • "It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
