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 graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities."
"The product is easy to learn."
"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."
"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."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"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."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The technical support services are good."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"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."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers. This is an area for improvement in the product. What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"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."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"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."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"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."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
