Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau.""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.""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 integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""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.""One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created.""The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use.""Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."

"I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility.""Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation.""This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves.""The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources.""The solution is free so that is a good feature.""Data Studio integrates seamlessly with other Google products, and we can use it with other APIs if we like.""I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts.""The ability to design complex data models and equations."

Cons
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards.""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.""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.""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.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features.""There should be better connectors for different data sets.""It should support integration with Python or R."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool."
