Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface.""From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics.""The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards.""The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate.""It is fine for basic reporting.""It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis.""One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."

"Sigma is a great software for non-technical business users. If someone's familiar with pivot tables or Excel or Google Sheets, they should be able to pick up Sigma pretty quickly. There is a very low bar for onboarding.""The most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data.""The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."

Cons
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it.""There should be better connectors for different data sets.""The solution must be more user-friendly.""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.""There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations.""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.""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's not ideal for reports that are more complex."

"I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma.""The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations.""The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
