We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau."
"A valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is that it's a cloud-native service provided by AWS. As all platforms within my company run on AWS, that's the leverage of Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight is also easy to use, and I find the native connectors from AWS valuable as well."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"It is fine for basic reporting."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"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."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"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."
"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."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"Colours used on report objects"
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
