"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"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 integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"It's a very powerful analytical engine with Essbase as the back end. We can analyze, transform, or utilize a big chunk of data for our calculations."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."

"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"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."

"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
