Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs.""From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics.""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.""Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage.""It helped the managers to visualize the data activities.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface.""The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."

More Amazon QuickSight Pros →

"It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language.""The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports.""The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs.""I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."

Cons
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""It should support integration with Python or R.""One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards.""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 solution must be more 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.""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."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product.""The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data.""When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are.""The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."
