Pros
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services.""The product is easy to learn.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface.""The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards.""Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities.""Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""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 proved to be a very powerful and useful tool due to its breakdown capabilities, easy reporting features, flexibility in building custom calculations, and the ability to integrate them into reports.""The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job.""The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries.""It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data.""Pyramid has a wide level of uses, as it's a complete ETL process and has a good level of connecting to a lot of data sources.""The on-premise version has quite good scalability.""I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop. I think it is better than InExcel or Power BI.""It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them."

Cons
"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. 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 has some storage and SPICE data issues.""The solution must be more user-friendly.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""It's not ideal for reports that are more complex.""Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary.""I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI.""There is room for improvement in terms of documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid.""Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved.""Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets.""There is room for improvement in terms of the user interface, particularly when it comes to modifying connections between filters and visual components in a dashboard.""It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields.""I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."
