Interactive dashboards have supported cloud analytics and now drive deeper data exploration
I don't want to hypothetically say about the effectiveness of Amazon QuickSight in terms of machine learning, so I need to pass on that. At the moment, on the cloud perspective, we have Amazon major, but we do have hybrid models. On the analytics side, we are migrating into Amazon QuickSight. One of the products is already migrating, and the rest is in the pipeline. As of now, we haven't picked it up. I don't want to say very positive at the moment about the pricing of Amazon QuickSight because my initial understanding is that it's not an easy one to adapt, but the choices are there. The reason I'm saying this is that there are two different models. Since we are partnered with Amazon and many of the other products and services we are engaging, we have an overall agreement involving this type of product. That way we are getting a benefit on that rather than an individual product. I have to pass on how much time my team spent on the deployment of Amazon QuickSight because I'm not very sure. I haven't been involved in the deployment and rollout.

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 most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"Efficiency has definitely improved, and the speed of developing analytics and insights has increased by at least twenty percent."
"QuickSight makes it easy to provision, create, and publish dashboards."
"The product is easy to learn."
"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

"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."
"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 should be better connectors for different data sets."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"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."
"AWS services greatly benefit well-established companies, while startups struggle with costs as they transition data out of AWS."
"The cost of queries is very high."
"I don't want to say very positive at the moment about the pricing of Amazon QuickSight because my initial understanding is that it's not an easy one to adapt, but the choices are there."
"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"I rate the price of Amazon QuickSight a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The solution is not affordable."
"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."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"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."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
