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.

The Briefing Book feature enables measures to be filtered and viewed based on different criteria by end users.
This software is targeted at executive users, not the data analysts who want to slice and dice. The software will not replace your BI tools, but it will sit nicely on top of a BI tool if you want management to have quick and easy access to performance data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is simple to implement."
"Whatever I pay for Amazon QuickSight, I get back, so I am not worried about ROI."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The ROI for QuickSight we have experienced is high."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"There is no REVIEW content provided to evaluate."
"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."
"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 a comprehensive solution for performance management, and yet it is easy to setup and easy to use, especially in comparison with Oracle, SAS, Hyperion and SAP."
 

Cons

"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."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"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."
"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
"The solution is not affordable."
"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."
"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."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
