We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and Qlik Sense based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Qlik Sense is robust, flexible, and has more capabilities than most solutions in the marketplace today. In contrast, many users feel Amazon QuickSight is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization offering is very basic and it also has minimal functionality and lacks a solid security protocol.
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"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."
"The number of visualizations that are present in Qlik is very useful for our developers to help our business partners tell stories with their data. Qlik continues to add to and enhance these visualizations with each release. We are also very excited to leverage the integration between Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog as we roll that out soon."
"There are a lot of features available in this solution, it has been very easy to use. We have found it to be less complex and user-friendly compared to other solutions we have used."
"We were able to identify easy things, such as when a contract was loaded incorrectly."
"The UI is very easy to use, with drag and drop self-service analytics."
"It has allowed us to manage our staff more effectively and frees up time for our analysts to analyze new problems and opportunities."
"We have found the use of AI to be the most valuable feature."
"The extensibility of the Platform with either internally created extensions or the use of third-party provided items really opens the platform up."
"My organization now has data from disparate systems at their fingertips in a way that lets them get the answers they need when they want it."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"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."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"I am starting to work with Qlik Sense SaaS these days. This environment has its own reporting service, however, one of the things that could be better for the people that are already using Nprinting, is to have a Nprinting in SaaS."
"From the initial setup of the product we had some struggles getting connections to some of our databases to function, this indicated that some of the data extract drivers can be improved and addition of some of the older database engines need to be added in Qlik Sense."
"Qlik application automation needs additional work and features."
"Qlik Sense should have a conversion tool which automatically converts QlikView to Qlik Sense, so customers can easily migrate between the products of Qlik."
"If a team wants to keep track of source code changes, there is not an out-of-the-box solution for it."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"Branding is not the product's strongest point. More control over the presentation colors would be great. A basic printing function would also be good. Easy connection to external tools like R Server would be nice."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
