Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""It is fine for basic reporting.""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 solution is very quick to turn around and integrate.""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 solution is simple to implement."

Cons
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources.""It should support integration with Python or R.""The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI.""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.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features.""There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available.""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.""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."
