We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and Qlik Sense based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Qlik Sense is robust, flexible, and has more capabilities than most solutions in the marketplace today. In contrast, many users feel Amazon QuickSight is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization offering is very basic and it also has minimal functionality and lacks a solid security protocol.
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"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 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 solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"I like that with Amazon QuickSight, you don't need to install an app to use its services. With other BI tools, you need to install the app, so Amazon QuickSight is better for me in this area."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"Placing buttons on my sheets creates a unique user experience and clears up clutter at the same time."
"Qlik Sense is much more user-friendly and easier to read then QlikView."
"It is extremely clean to view, easy to use, and intuitive to develop with. There are a host of online resources to provide assistance to new users."
"The visualizations are good and keep improving."
"We were able to identify easy things, such as when a contract was loaded incorrectly."
"This solution has improved our organization by making our analysis results available to customers."
"It has high performance when interacting with dashboards and reports."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes."
"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 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."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"Possibly offering some more basic, simpler templates."
"There are occasional stability problems, but Qlik support is excellent at correcting anything that arises."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"The use of APIs is not as friendly as it should be in the first place, especially when considering Python scripts and all other scripts, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"Error handling is an area that needs to be improved."
"Qlik application automation needs additional work and features."
"Moving forward I would like to see more features that are currently available in QlikView, such as being able to better customize coloring within charts. I would also like to see the ability to add calculated dimensions to the selections tool in the page."
