Yes, before using Amazon QuickSight, I worked with other products, including Power BI and Tableau. We switched to Amazon QuickSight since it was more affordable. Compared to Amazon QuickSight, Power BI offers a broader range of visualization options and more flexible formatting capabilities. Power BI provides more visual choices, easier page formatting with specific control options, and the ability to use bookmarks to enhance the dashboard's appeal. One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards. For small-scale businesses, Amazon QuickSight is cost-effective. However, for larger datasets, tools like Power BI and Tableau may be more efficient, even if they require additional AWS services. QuickSight's pay-per-view model is suitable for smaller data, but your choice depends on your data size and requirements.

The platform’s pricing is a bit hard because even though you get a 30-day trial, you have a standard edition that's only in-house. The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView. I am no professional analytics person, but as a developer and consultant, I think the quality of the product can be improved and be made more feature rich as well. They could do some predictive analytics, and have their graphics be a bit better to make it look nicer. I also think they should focus on QuickSight as a separate line of business so they can generate better revenue. I have seen many companies bought over that just rest on their laurels and do not show substantial improvement in terms of features or performance like a company that has to fight tooth and nail for their sales.

I just want a few more features to be added. We'd like an increase in the number of visuals, and we find the graphs are still very restricted. We need reporting around telementary use and QuickSight users, including which user is opening which dashboard, at what time, and for how long he is using the dashboard. They built reader access based on the session. However, they don't report it anywhere. I was expecting this very basic thing, yet it has not been rolled out. In order to know which user is opening which dashboard and at what time, I have to basically deep dive into the CloudTrail log. Even there, it's not a very detailed log. It does not give you an idea about the session or session duration. It only gives you an idea about whether a dashboard was loaded or not. Currently, auto-reporting is limited to some 30 times a day. As it is, if you want to set a data set to get it refreshed every half an hour, you cannot achieve it. We would like to have more auto-reporting.
