It is mainly for dashboarding and visualization.
I am using its latest version. It is deployed on the cloud through an S3 bucket connected to Athena.

I am using its latest version. It is deployed on the cloud through an S3 bucket connected to Athena.
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.
The visualizations that it has got are not as robust as some of the other competitors in the market. We would like to have more visuals.
The modeling side of it is not as robust as Power BI.
It should support integration with Python or R.
Its support should be improved. There isn't much support for this solution.
I have been using this solution for about a year.
It is stable for what I do with it.
Its scalability is fine because I use a lot of data. Everything on the cloud should be able to scale when needed.
In my organization, we have six developers, and we have up to 50 people who are using it. Based on the security level, we can share these reports with different persons in the organization.
We don't have a plan to increase its usage. Instead, we are seeing if we could try something else, and that's what I'm currently working on.
There isn't much support available. We had an issue and when we tried to get support, they made it clear that they can't give any support, and what is lost is lost. I would rate their support as average.
We were using Power BI. We switched because what we're doing was hosted on AWS, so it became easier to just stay on AWS. Instead of carrying the data, we stayed at the AWS server. That was the main reason for switching to QuickSight. So, everything is domiciled on Amazon Web Services.
It probably was pretty straightforward. They had already deployed the system before I joined the organization. So, I started using it.
We didn't evaluate other options.
It is easy to use, and it integrates really well with different data sources. However, there is a lot of room for improvement. There are limited visuals, and it doesn't integrate with Python or R. So, you need to be sure of what you're doing and whether it would serve the purpose. If you need basic visualization without too much integration and customization, it is perfect.
I would rate it a six out of 10.
We use QuickSight for the BI and for reporting purposes. We want to integrate two different applications. For example, we would want to merge NetSuite and an accounting solution and get the data from a fancy dashboard. Users can get any information they want at any point. We don’t need to query it every time we need something.
It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau.
Otherwise, the rest of the features are similar to the competitors.
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.
The design and visual appearance of the dashboard can be upgraded for improved user efficiency.
The product is stable. Around 10-14% of people in my organization are using Amazon QuickSight. This is because most of the market has already been dominated by Tableau. Qlik Sense has also captured a large part of the market.
It should be scalable.
We were using Qlik Sense, but presently we are migrating to Amazon QuickSight.
It's not complex, but it's a bit tricky compared to the other tools. The setup of reporting on Amazon QuickSight is more difficult than other tools like Qlik Sense, Power BI and Tableau.
There are different cost structures for using Amazon QuickSight. A fixed membership can be obtained and a timeframe basis membership is available for users too. I believe the pricing is quite low and the solution is worth the money.
If a client is already using a competitor solution like Qlik Sense, then on most occasions, they wouldn't want to migrate to Amazon QuickSight. I personally believe that this solution is going to blow up the market very soon. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
The platform has a lot of limitations. We used it for two months and decided to change to another product.
They could provide more options for graphics and other features. It has a lot of limitations compared to other database platforms.
We have used Amazon QuickSight for two months.
We encountered a few technical issues while loading the data. I rate the product's stability a four out of ten.
The application is not scalable. I rate the scalability a four out of ten.
We didn't utilize the technical support frequently. We received the support from our partners.
We have used Qlik and Power BI. We switched to Amazon QuickSight as we had a good partnership with AWS and decided to test the platform.
Amazon QuickSight can be deployed on the cloud.
The product pricing is better than other vendors.
We used Amazon QuickSight as a database platform. It helped the managers to visualize the data activities. I rate its integration capabilities with existing data sources and ecosystems an eight out of ten.
Overall, I rate it a six out of ten.
We can create visualizations programmatically, through CLI, and manually. This feature is not available in Tableau. The product is easy to learn.
REST API feature is not available in the product. If I want to show the whole visualization and data in a single URL, I can do it through Power BI and Tableau. I did not find it in QuickSight. The product has some storage and SPICE data issues. Achieving visualizations with huge data is possible in Tableau, but it is not possible in QuickSight.
I have been using the solution for three months.
The tool is stable.
The technical support is awesome.
Positive
Compared to Tableau, the product is not that good. However, it is a good product.
The solution is not affordable. Recently, we had to create a dashboard programmatically, so I had to create some policies. AWS charged me more for it. The solution can be afforded by big companies, not by smaller ones.
It’s a completely cloud-based system. I am using the cloud link provided by my organization. I directly access the tool through the URL. It is a good tool to learn. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
With AWS, we work with multiple things, different versions in each area. In most of the areas, I believe we employ the latest version.
We use Amazon QuickSight to provide data insights.
The solution provides a good business intelligence service. The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good.
There should be better connectors for different data sets.
I have been working with AWS for four to five years.
The solution is quite stable.
The solution is scalable.
I rate Amazon QuickSight as an eight out of ten.
I am a technology consulting service provider.
We are system integrators that help my business customers as a system integrator and I use AWS Services on the machine learning and analytics side.
My area of work is mainly on artificial intelligence and machine learning.
I was using Amazon QuickSight to generate contacts and insights.
There are companies that have contact center operations in order to support their customer queries and to do any in-house analytics on the contact center's performance.
The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface.
QuickSight is gradually adding new features, but it is not as mature as some of the other products on the market such as Tableau or Power BI.
The cost is something that could be improved, it should at least be competitive at least for a year until they get a good hold on the market penetration.
As I have not yet explored the solution to its fullest, It may already have this available, but what I would like to see is better, drag and drop based integration of the data sources into the Amazon QuickSight dashboard, so that you can automatically integrate it with different types of data cleaning tools.
There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations.
My knowledge is brief, I have only used this solution for two to three days.
We are not using the latest version, it would be two to three months before this.
It's a stable solution.
Amazon Quicksight is scalable.
In our organization, I was the only one who was exploring it.
The installation was easy. Because everything is on the cloud, it's all about integration.
I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices.
I am planning to use this solution in the future.
I am going to use it by recommending it to my clients where I can suggest that they can explore Amazon QuckSight as one of their options for business intelligence reporting.
If the customer is satisfied with the pricing and other features compared to other products such as Tableau or Power BI, then I would go ahead and start analyzing.
I would rate this solution a six out of ten.
One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created.
There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available.
This is a stable solution that is always progressing and evolving. We have between 300 and 400 employees across three companies who use it.
This is a scalable solution.
The ROI for QuickSight we have experienced is high. It has a higher ROI compared to Tableau due to its lower price.
The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable.
For new users who use Amazon Redshift as their database, QuickSight is the best option for dashboards and reporting.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I'm a Business Intelligence Developer. I use QuickSight for developing dashboards and reports. We have its latest version.
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.
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.
I have been using this solution for two years.
It is stable.
We are a startup. We have around 100 plus users, and we have just five or six members for maintenance.
Their technical support is quite fast. They are also very supportive.
We started only with QuickSight, but I have experience with Tableau.
Its initial setup is very easy as compared to other solutions. We just connect to QuickSight.
It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions.
It is a simple intelligence tool. It is quite simple as compared to other advanced intelligence available in the market. If you are working on real-time applications, such as Robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT), and want dynamic dashboards with frequent refreshes, then QuickSight is not a suitable option.
I would rate Amazon QuickSight a five out of ten based on my experience with other products.
