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.
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"It is fine for basic reporting."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The solution is simple to implement."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are the integration and panel for reports. The integration is very fast even though we process a lot of information."
"It has allowed us to manage our staff more effectively and frees up time for our analysts to analyze new problems and opportunities."
"Set analysis is great for its power user capabilities such as performing an IF on an aggregated column. The ability to create custom coloring expressions based on values is also a good idea although not as easy as I wished it was."
"The ability to access data from multiple sources in one application. This has been invaluable."
"Some of the valuable areas of this solution include producing individual reports and closing the gap."
"The drag and drop UI has been the most useful to me."
"This solution has improved our organization by making our analysis results available to customers."
"Qlik Sense brings in the concept of shared libraries where one user can create custom dimensions (even with drill-down functionality), measures, and even visualizations and save it to the "Master Items," from which the other users can simply drag and drop to use it for their analysis."
"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."
"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."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"We want the next version of this solution to be cloud-based so that each user can access it from anywhere in the world with their phone, tablet, or computer without a VPN connection."
"Qlik Sense is working very well on going to low code and development. They are trying to make their environment more user-friendly. However, the training is not free. When you want to learn more about the tool, sometimes you need to pay for the training. This does not make sense to me because training should be free because the more you learn about the tool the more you use it and the more you are loyal to the company and want to continue usage."
"I would like to see improvements in the Qlik Sense SaaS version, particularly in the front-end capabilities."
"They should generally focus more on the evolution of current capabilities rather than doing everything but only at 50% effectiveness."
"Qlik has a fast learning curve due to great online training resources (Qlik continuous classroom), but those are lacking the advance features like building extensions and using the API."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
"Qlik dashboards are not friendly with end-users, but they have been enhancing this shorted in some recent releases and next releases hopefully."
