We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and MicroStrategy 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."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."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"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 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's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"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."
"We are embedding multimedia content in our apps... You can embed streaming video from websites, or you can host the video files on your internal media servers. The video is clear, absolutely."
"MicroStrategy has what they call the Semantic Graph — an enterprise-grade semantic graph — and I think the technology is fantastic."
"We prefer having our analytics capabilities in a single platform, which MicroStrategy's offers."
"I haven't come across any bugs."
"I have had a lot of projects where we had a lot of users, like thousands of users, and the data was in one report which could bring in six million records. MicroStrategy is doing a good job on scalability."
"We prefer having the analytic capabilities in a single platform, like MicroStrategy provides, because it is easier. The customer gets used to one type of tool, then sticks with it."
"Stability is great, especially with package deployments. It is very consistent and stable."
"There are people who are using MicroStrategy as transaction services."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"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."
"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."
"We've found the scalability to be very good. However, it depends on the environment. In general, it could be much better."
"The solution's reports are not very flexible."
"MicroStrategy should become more user friendly. It should behave more like Tableau."
"We haven't invested in the mobile platform. We want to invest, but the problem is the security. We are in the health domain, so we have PHI data."
"I prefer the capabilities of a single platform, but it does not always work. We are a huge company. Some areas do not use MicroStrategy, so you have to blend whatever systems they are using together to get the data points that you are looking for."
"Currently, the client view looks completely different depending on what you are building."
"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"
"Enterprise Manager should be a little bit less quirky when you build out-of-the-box customization reports for it."
