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."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 is fine for basic reporting."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"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."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"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."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"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."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers. This is an area for improvement in the product. What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
