We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"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."
"One area is that integrating data from different sources into QuickSight can be a bit tricky, especially with Amazon Connect. To get data flowing, you need to use two additional services and configure them correctly."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"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 haven't come across any missing features."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
