Has supported visualization and decision making but can improve with intelligent automation features
Amazon QuickSight can create features such as charts for prediction or forecasting important issues about sales in the last year or quarter. You can create pie charts, line charts, scatter charts, and bar charts. These tools are very important to express changes in categories by location. You can measure the progress of sales, and you can measure the weakness or lowest activity of sales in some areas and determine how to improve it. The graphics are very important to create a data story of the business data. The interactive dashboards of Amazon QuickSight are very important tools in business intelligence. You can select or filter for specific cases the business is searching for, such as a specific product or specific area, including Europe, Asia, America, or South America. You can create interactive selections or filtering of the data.

Daily transcription has boosted my productivity and made spoken input replace manual typing
The best features Hex offers are simplicity and being really lightweight. Simplicity and being lightweight are valuable for me because it just works, making my day easier. I would also add that Hex is free, which is a nice feature. Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity. My productivity improved because before I started using Hex, I was typing everything and it was taking longer than just saying the same things. I have cut my working day by a few minutes every day because of that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Amazon QuickSight has an interactive dashboard that is beautiful and user-friendly, with beautiful colors and good icons that are easy to identify, allowing users to click, drag and drop, and extract data without facing complexity or a terminal-based interface."
"QuickSight is a great savior in terms of row level security, providing almost equivalent value to Tableau and Power BI."
"The ROI for QuickSight we have experienced is high."
"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."
"What I do like about QuickSight is that it gives a relative beginner the ability to really start seeing results quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The solution is simple to implement."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity."
"Hex offers excellent features that make it fast and easy to use."
 

Cons

"Pricing could be improved."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers."
"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."
"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."
"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."
"Hex can be improved if they could implement new models because there are new LLMs appearing on a weekly basis, and they are still using the same one."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product pricing is better than other vendors."
"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
"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."
"The solution is not affordable."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
