Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate.""The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable.""The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs.""I like that with Amazon QuickSight, you don't need to install an app to use its services. With other BI tools, you need to install the app, so Amazon QuickSight is better for me in this area.""It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis.""The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good.""The product is easy to learn.""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."

"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases.""ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands.""The scalability is good.""The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable.""It is easy to set up the solution.""The initial setup was very straightforward.""I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases.""It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."

Cons
"The solution must be more user-friendly.""Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production.""The product has some storage and SPICE data issues.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""It should support integration with Python or R.""I just want a few more features to be added.""Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do.""The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front.""A customized visualization is lacking in this product.""I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins.""ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well.""If I want to order columns, this feature is not there.""The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases.""The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
  • "It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
  • "Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
  • "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 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."
  • "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."
  • "The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
  • "A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer: It helped the managers to visualize the data activities.
    Top Answer:They could provide more options for graphics and other features. It has a lot of limitations compared to other database platforms.
    Top Answer:It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box.
    Top Answer:I like the pricing structure. I get billed by how much data I put in, not how many people are looking at the data. It's better for me as I can control pricing a bit more easily.
    Top Answer:We'd like more flexibility with the calendar as our fiscal year does not align with the calendar year. We have to load or create our own custom calendar to actually need our fiscal year-end. With… more »
