Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable.""The product is easy to learn.""The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use.""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.""It is fine for basic reporting.""The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."

"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do.""The initial setup is not very complex.""A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting.""We can scale it if we need to.""It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful.""The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time.""The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information.""It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."

Cons
"I just want a few more features to be added.""Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production.""The product has some storage and SPICE data issues.""It should support integration with Python or R.""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.""I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it.""The solution must be more user-friendly.""There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device.""Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point.""Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening.""They could improve the speed.""There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns.""Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker.""Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time.""I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
