We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and Tableau based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Tableau wins out in this comparison because users feel it is easy to use, provides intuitive reporting, and has outstanding features. Many users feel Amazon QuickSight is a very simple tool with limited features. They say its visualization offering is too basic. It also has minimal functionality and lacks a solid security protocol.
"The solution is simple to implement."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"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 is easy to adapt visualizers to have interactive conversations among decision-makers."
"The use of a storyboard helps the flow of the data visualisation."
"Tableau is easy to use. That's the first and most important thing. I not only provide consulting but I also train people to use it, so with its ease-of-use it's not as difficult for me to train executives and management staff, because they don't have the IT background, unlike when I'm using Python."
"I believe one of the most valuable features of the solution is trend analysis."
"This service is the combination of very pleasant, interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models (in some cases)."
"There are already connectors to almost every single major database and service that you can possibly think of."
"We found Tableau has the quickest learning time out of the few other BI reporting tools that we have used."
"The data blending capabilities is a huge factor for our team."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"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."
"Creating empty extracts is not easy."
"The solution could use more features in data analytics."
"They need a write-back; that is what is missing. If they get the write back to the database, they will be fully automated, but for the time being, they are not."
"Users would like to be able to export an Excel file when they see a table or something like that. That's not an out-of-the-box feature for Tableau."
"The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate."
"Tableau support could be improved."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
"If you mainly need a tool for BI reporting, it's not the best option. Tableau needs better abilities to generate simple reports, integrate, create databases, and work with data lakes."
