Pros
"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.""One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good.""The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use.""The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs.""The solution is simple to implement.""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."

Cons
"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.""One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards.""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.""The product has some storage and SPICE data issues.""There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations.""I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it.""There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available.""You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful."
