We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and MicroStrategy 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."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 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."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"It offers us a lot of out-of-the-box tools, which give us the ability to automate a lot of our administrative tasks. Some things become menial: user creation, restarting a server at 10 o'clock on a Friday - simple things that they really give you the tools to be able to do. That's one thing I really like about the MicroStrategy platform from an administrative perspective."
"Having the analytics capabilities on a single platform."
"In terms of functionality, MicroStrategy is alright. It's a solid BI tool and can handle most tasks you'd expect."
"The technical support is quite good."
"MicroStrategy has powerful data security features, which are crucial these days. For example, when users view data in MicroStrategy, they're only allowed to see a portion based on the permissions. When we evaluated other solutions like Power BI or Tableau, we found the security is very poor. They can't help us secure access to the data."
"I like the user interface and the experience has been great."
"Stability is great, especially with package deployments. It is very consistent and stable."
"The most valuable features are ad hoc reporting and the ability to create dashboards."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"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."
"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."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"Compared to Power BI, I felt QuickSight lacks some features, like delayed drill-downs. Drill-downs were the main area where we found QuickSight lacking."
"Its price should be lower. In terms of features, what we have is quite encompassing right now."
"MicroStrategy should become more user friendly. It should behave more like Tableau."
"I would like to see a single standalone application to control everything from the administration perspective, and also to develop new applications."
"MicroStrategy is not cloud native today and some of their APIs are a little limiting."
"MicroStrategy lacks that community support. You're either stuck figuring things out yourself or paying expensive fees to MicroStrategy consultants for help."
"Preparation, data loading and data management application is challenging with MicroStrategy. It lacks cube-based analytics as it is outdated, meaning there is no memory or fast processing analytics or MMA deployment."
"It needs better visualizations."
"There are some challenges in our organization on how we store the data."
