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.
"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 product is easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"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."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"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 Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"Time-saving efficiencies have translated into genuine bottom-line improvements via the reduction in FTE."
"We have had an easy time supplying content to our customers."
"The most valuable features are that Qlik has a very strong ATL available and the capacity to handle large volumes of data."
"The integration with R & Python for predictive modeling, and possibly machine learning in the future, is very valuable."
"The GeoAnalytics paints such a clear picture. It provides a visual of our patient volume, giving us opportunities to see how we are trending in the surrounding cities, and making us more aware of locations that we need to focus more on."
"We began to see how our processes and other team's processes were negatively affecting the bottom line. We were able to provide tips to other teams to help improve their processes."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It is very easy to use, and the Qlik data engine has been able to handle everything we have thrown at it."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"The solution must be more 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."
"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."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"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."
"Qlik dashboards are not friendly with end-users, but they have been enhancing this shorted in some recent releases and next releases hopefully."
"Report generation without the need for NPrinting, which has limited capabilities anyway, would be an improvement."
"The communication with the solution's sales managers in Europe is very bad, making it an area that requires improvement. My company usually gets no response from the tool's sales managers."
"I would like to see more types of visual elements and better configuration options for additional flexibility when developing charts."
"I am starting to work with Qlik Sense SaaS these days. This environment has its own reporting service, however, one of the things that could be better for the people that are already using Nprinting, is to have a Nprinting in SaaS."
"I would like to see improvements in the Qlik Sense SaaS version, particularly in the front-end capabilities."
"Qlik Sense should have a conversion tool which automatically converts QlikView to Qlik Sense, so customers can easily migrate between the products of Qlik."
"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."
