"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"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 graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"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."
"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"The user interface is easy to work with."
"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."
"It provides easy integration with Office tools."
"Implementation is very quick and the solution is very user-friendly."
"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."
"The solution is stable with reasonable performance."
"Ease of development and maintenance."
"The best thing about this solution is that it is very user friendly. It is interactive in terms of visualizations. It is very eye-catching, and it attracts users. There are a lot of options to visualize the data in different drafts and views. I have used different visualization tools, and I found Power BI to be more efficient in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"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."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"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."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"Microsoft BI lacks some of the scheme features. It would be beneficial if there were a way to show how we move values in a different way."
"Microsoft BI's visualization could be better. Though Power BI's visualization has steadily improved over the years, it's not on the level tools like Tableau and SAS or some of the more expensive products on the market."
"I would like to see some AI incorporated into this solution in the future."
"At times, I feel that the system needs improvement in single sign-on, especially for the on-premises side of the tool."
"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."
"You need to purchase upgraded support separately."
"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."
"It is not the right tool to do deeper analysis or predictions. When you have some data and you want to do some deep analysis, there is no feature to help you with this."
