Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities."
"The product is easy to learn."
"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 is fine for basic reporting."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The initial setup phase of Databricks was good."
"Easy to use and requires minimal coding and customizations."
"The solution is built from Spark and has integration with MLflow, which is important for our use case."
"Databricks has a scalable Spark cluster creation process. The creators of Databricks are also the creators of Spark, and they are the industry leaders in terms of performance."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use SQL directly with Databricks."
"The fast data loading process and data storage capabilities are great."
"It's easy to increase performance as required."
"The technical support is good."
"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."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"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."
"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."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"Pricing is one of the things that could be improved."
"There could be more support for automated machine learning in the database. I would like to see more ways to do analysis so that the reporting is more understandable."
"The query plan is not easy with Databrick's job level. If I want to tune any of the code, it is not easily available in the blogs as well."
"Databricks' performance when serving the data to an analytics tool isn't as good as Snowflake's."
"Databricks would have more collaborative features than it has. It should have some more customization for the jobs."
"There are no direct connectors — they are very limited."
"Overall it's a good product, however, it doesn't do well against any individual best-of-breed products."
"I would like more integration with SQL for using data in different workspaces."
