We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities.""It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""The product is easy to learn.""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.""The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate.""The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use.""One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."

"I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.""It is easy for a new user to learn the tool."

More Metabase Pros →

Cons
"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.""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.""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.""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.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features.""It's not ideal for reports that are more complex.""There should be better connectors for different data sets."

Pricing and Cost Advice
