"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."

"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"A very valuable feature is the data processing, and the solution is specifically good at using the Spark ecosystem."
"I like cloud scalability and data access for any type of user."
"The main features of the solution are efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the integration with Microsoft Azure."
"Can cut across the entire ecosystem of open source technology to give an extra level of getting the transformatory process of the data."

"Databricks' most valuable features are the workspace and notebooks. Its integration, interface, and documentation are also good."
"The setup is quite easy."
"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 is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"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."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"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."
"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."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"There are no direct connectors — they are very limited."
"Pricing is one of the things that could be improved."
"I would like more integration with SQL for using data in different workspaces."
"Databricks could improve in some of its functionality."
"The integration of data could be a bit better."
"Overall it's a good product, however, it doesn't do well against any individual best-of-breed products."
"Databricks doesn't offer the use of Python scripts by itself and is not connected to GitHub repositories or anything similar. This is something that is missing. if they could integrate with Git tools it would be an advantage."
"Databricks is an analytics platform. It should offer more data science. It should have more features for data scientists to work with."
