Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface.""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.""It is fine for basic reporting.""Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage.""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 helped the managers to visualize the data activities.""The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate.""The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."

More Amazon QuickSight Pros →

"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports.""I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes.""The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs.""It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language."

Cons
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations.""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.""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.""The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView.""One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards.""You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire.""The product has some storage and SPICE data issues.""The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are.""The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data.""The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting.""If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."
