"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"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 query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"It is fine for basic reporting."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The product is easy to learn."
"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"The data can be accessed from anywhere."
"The initial setup is relatively simple."
"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty easy."
"It is a powerful tool that helps our data analysis processes."
"Technical support has been great."
"It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on."
"It has greatly improved our reporting capabilities."
"The reports are easy to create."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"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 would be nice to use other connectors to link with the data."
"here are still better UI designs they can go through. I'm assuming they are focusing more on capabilities rather than look-and-feel designs."
"Our expectation is putting BI to work in real-time data collection systems in the maritime environment."
"I would like to see some AI incorporated into this solution in the future."
"I think because I'm moving more into RPA, I'd definitely like to see integration across the RPA, Power BI, or Tableau platforms, because that integration could then make automation and mundane reporting much faster."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"Maybe they can enhance the UI a bit. Right now, it's very basic, I would say, compared to the MicroStrategy or Qlik."
"Actionable insights could be better."
