Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It helped the managers to visualize the data activities.""It is fine for basic reporting.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""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.""The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs.""One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created.""The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."

"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful.""You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market.""The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time.""QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use.""This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals.""The initial setup is not very complex.""The scalability is there.""E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."

Cons
"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.""It should support integration with Python or R.""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.""The solution must be more user-friendly.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features.""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.""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.""I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve.""Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker.""Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial.""There is no automation or drag and drop functionality.""Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening.""It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data.""I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date.""The solution is quite costly."
