Freelancer at a government with 501-1,000 employees
Has supported visualization and decision making but can improve with intelligent automation features
Amazon QuickSight can create features such as charts for prediction or forecasting important issues about sales in the last year or quarter. You can create pie charts, line charts, scatter charts, and bar charts. These tools are very important to express changes in categories by location. You can measure the progress of sales, and you can measure the weakness or lowest activity of sales in some areas and determine how to improve it. The graphics are very important to create a data story of the business data. The interactive dashboards of Amazon QuickSight are very important tools in business intelligence. You can select or filter for specific cases the business is searching for, such as a specific product or specific area, including Europe, Asia, America, or South America. You can create interactive selections or filtering of the data.

Major Account Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"QuickSight makes it easy to provision, create, and publish dashboards."
"It works well with the AWS ecosystem."
"We were selecting it for scalability, but we didn't get that far."
"QuickSight is a great savior in terms of row level security, providing almost equivalent value to Tableau and Power BI."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"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."
"Interactive dashboards do help with data analysis."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"The solution is easy to manage, very easy to scan and archive documents, and after digitizing it is very easy to reach archived documents."
"The designer and workspace tools in Kofax Insight are good, providing the ability to design applications directly and read various types of PDF images, handwritten files and cheques, transferring the data from these images into the database and making it accessible on mobile and computer devices."
"Based on my experience, it's been a very, very good product, a very powerful insight analytics or business KPI-type tool that provides a very good data-based review of intelligent document processing and allows clients to develop their own reliable, customized reports."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"I don't want to say very positive at the moment about the pricing of Amazon QuickSight because my initial understanding is that it's not an easy one to adapt, but the choices are there."
"Amazon QuickSight could be improved by embedding AI features. For example, making automation for filling missing data or reformatting incorrect data formats, and making date corrections."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"I feel that this solution could be better in some ways, as at the moment, from a development point of view, this is more suited to the technical developers only."
"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."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
"The reporting and internal integration systems could be improved by making them more user-friendly."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
"The solution is not cheap. It is a bit pricey, and therefore more suited towards larger companies."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"I rate the price of Amazon QuickSight a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
