Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable.""The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate.""The solution is simple to implement.""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 product is easy to learn.""It helped the managers to visualize the data activities.""One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created.""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."

"Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."

More Birst Pros →

Cons
"An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes.""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.""There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations.""There should be better connectors for different data sets.""Compared to Power BI, I felt QuickSight lacks some features, like delayed drill-downs. Drill-downs were the main area where we found QuickSight lacking.""You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire.""It should support integration with Python or R.""I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
