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. Especially for root cause analysis, the ability to drill down from a high-level problem to its root is crucial. Aside from that, QuickSight is a good service.

Yes, before using Amazon QuickSight, I worked with other products, including Power BI and Tableau. We switched to Amazon QuickSight since it was more affordable. Compared to Amazon QuickSight, Power BI offers a broader range of visualization options and more flexible formatting capabilities. Power BI provides more visual choices, easier page formatting with specific control options, and the ability to use bookmarks to enhance the dashboard's appeal. One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards. For small-scale businesses, Amazon QuickSight is cost-effective. However, for larger datasets, tools like Power BI and Tableau may be more efficient, even if they require additional AWS services. QuickSight's pay-per-view model is suitable for smaller data, but your choice depends on your data size and requirements.

QuickSight offers a very cost-effective reader account model based on session-based costing, making it easy for us to provision accounts for our employees. Additionally, QuickSight is entirely cloud-based, simplifying the access, creation, and provisioning process compared to Power BI. The speed at which QuickSight renders data enhances the efficiency, ensuring users do not lose interest due to delays. The range of calculated fields available is very beneficial for data analysis. Overall, QuickSight makes it easy to provision, create, and publish dashboards.
