Pros
"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding.""The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily.""The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great.""All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable.""The solution has been stable.""I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms.""The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain.""The initial setup is easy."

More Alteryx 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.""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 query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good.""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 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.""The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services.""It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."

Cons
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data.""Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes.""I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica.""The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement.""We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative.""We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters.""It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve.""All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."

More Alteryx Cons →

"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""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.""There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations.""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.""It should support integration with Python or R.""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."

  • "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."
