Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface.""The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services.""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.""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.""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 is fine for basic reporting."

"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations.""Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free.""​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff.""Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel.""ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data.""The solution's technical support team is good.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards."

Cons
"It should support integration with Python or R.""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.""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.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""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.""One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards.""There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
