"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"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 query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."
"The geospatial maps representation and the visualizations are nice."
"It has a shallow learning curve and so you can go to market very, very, very quickly."
"Tableau is very flexible and easy to learn. It has drag-and-drop function analytics, and its design is very good. It is a very good tool, and it basically brings life into data with good design. We have been creating a lot of interactive visualizations and dashboards. It has a public version. There are public communities from where you can get a lot of examples for practice."
"Tableau's support could improve."
"One of the most valuable features of Tableau is that it's a visual analytics solution, not just a dashboarding solution. Compared to Power BI, which is a dashboarding solution, there are no limitations with Tableau. For example, when you add a chart or a map to Power BI, it has a 3,000-point limitation. When you try to track your whole vehicle on the map, you only see the first 3,000 rows on the map, and Power BI doesn't tell you which part of the data is shown on the map. But Tableau doesn't have any limitations, which means that you can see five million data points on a map. It starts the project by creating the visuals that directly converts to SQLs. In that way, all the components have no limitations. When we compared Tableau to Power BI, we also found Tableau to be more fancy. Fancy means you can create more visual graphics and more visual dashboards. With Power BI, this isn't so—it's just some tables and some simple charts together. Tableau is more for business users who want to analyze data. Tableau can directly connect the analytics systems, like R or Titan, and get the results in screen, so it's a good solution for analytics scientists. It has some predefined capabilities to understand the data."
"It's very user-friendly. It's not like Power BI, Tableau is very user-friendly. Anybody can use Tableau. It's very easy to adopt things. I can visualize the stats."
"It is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality. An intelligence tool should not be only for creating reports. Currently, we have to do all computational and mathematical operations outside. We should be able to do such operations in an intelligence tool like this. As an intelligence tool, it should support dynamic refresh. QuickSight currently supports the refresh at a minimum of one hour, and it is not suitable for dynamic dashboards that require frequent refreshes."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"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."
"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."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"The product needs to allow for better ways to drill down more effectively on the information at hand."
"The data preparation/blending options are very basic. They could be improved."
"There are more than a powerful tool in the market, such as Microsoft BI."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
"I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"The charting is overly complex in comparison with Power BI's"
