Comparison Results: Microsoft BI is the clear winner in this comparison. It has excellent customer support, is scalable, reliable, and has a good user interface. In general, it is a more mature solution than Amazon QuickSight.
"The solution is simple to implement."
"I like that with Amazon QuickSight, you don't need to install an app to use its services. With other BI tools, you need to install the app, so Amazon QuickSight is better for me in this area."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"It offers a lot of information and is very flexible and interactive."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft BI are the variety of possibilities to connect to various data sources. The visualizations are easily done, have useful rollover functions, and there are continuous updates being made to the system. You can benefit from the various improvements."
"The stability is great and continues to get better and better."
"Its connection to every database: Whatever and wherever it is."
"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."
"There is also a chart store where we can download charts, which is extremely useful."
"What I have found valuable about Microsoft BI is its performance and ease of use. The interface is very simple and it is accessible to everyone. If someone is new to this type of solution it is straightforward to understand."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"My data is restricted to my DB and I'm not sure how this would handle an extremely large dataset."
"Microsoft needs to do some more research and development to make it more stable."
"This solution's performance when handling big data could be improved. Right now, if you're handling big data, the application becomes slow and the performance is very low."
"The solution struggles with large amounts of data."
"People without private emails cannot publish and, frankly, this doesn't allow for easy training."
"The product could have better analytics capabilities."
"I would like it to be a little bit more secure when I'm using the design feature on my desktop. For example, to have the ability to set up security passwords for opening the file. Currently, they don't have that. Tableau, for example, has a visual way of doing data processing steps, whereas the Power BI system still has some code, although it is very low code. It would be great to have the kind of view that Tableau has."
"I would like to see a feature that connects with a Machine Learning platform like a RapidMiner or Azure Machine Learning Studio. It would be great to have a Machine Learning application link to connect."
