We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"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."
"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"The technical support services are good."
"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 number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality. An intelligence tool should not be only for creating reports. Currently, we have to do all computational and mathematical operations outside. We should be able to do such operations in an intelligence tool like this. As an intelligence tool, it should support dynamic refresh. QuickSight currently supports the refresh at a minimum of one hour, and it is not suitable for dynamic dashboards that require frequent refreshes."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
