Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"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."
"In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."
"Technical support has always been very good."
"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."
"The initial setup process is easy."
 

Cons

"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"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."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."
"The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive."
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
"The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."
"I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
"The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"The solution is not affordable."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."
"The product is less expensive compared to other vendors for gold partners."
"They have different tiers of pricing including one-year, three-year, five-year, seven-year, and ten-year."
