Has seamless data filtering and visualization for client satisfaction
One area for improvement is the cost, as it's a bit expensive. The caching mechanism also charges too much if I need to cache any data. Sometimes it takes time to display data, suggesting a need for enhancement in data visualization speed. Additionally, the role-level security is challenging to implement, and it could be improved to allow access control per department more easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities."
"The best part about Amazon QuickSight is the filtration capability."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"A valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is that it's a cloud-native service provided by AWS. As all platforms within my company run on AWS, that's the leverage of Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight is also easy to use, and I find the native connectors from AWS valuable as well."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
 

Cons

"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"The setup process falls somewhere in the middle. It is not straightforward, nor is it complex, but there is a significant amount of work needed on the back end to make it function."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"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."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"The solution is not affordable."
"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."
"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 solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
