Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"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."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"I like that with Amazon QuickSight, you don't need to install an app to use its services. With other BI tools, you need to install the app, so Amazon QuickSight is better for me in this area."
"The solution is very simple and stable."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its notebook. It's quite convenient to use, both terms of the research and the development and also the final deployment, I can just declare the spark jobs by the load tables. It's quite convenient."
"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the integration of the data warehouse and data lake, and the development of the lake house. Additionally, it integrates well with Spark for processing data in production."
"Databricks has a scalable Spark cluster creation process. The creators of Databricks are also the creators of Spark, and they are the industry leaders in terms of performance."
"Databricks covers end-to-end data analytics workflow in one platform, this is the best feature of the solution."
"It can send out large data amounts."
"The built-in optimization recommendations halved the speed of queries and allowed us to reach decision points and deliver insights very quickly."
"Can cut across the entire ecosystem of open source technology to give an extra level of getting the transformatory process of the data."
"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."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"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."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"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."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"Can be improved by including drag-and-drop features."
"It should have more compatible and more advanced visualization and machine learning libraries."
"I believe that this product could be improved by becoming more user-friendly."
"Some of the error messages that we receive are too vague, saying things like "unknown exception", and these should be improved to make it easier for developers to debug problems."
"It's not easy to use, and they need a better UI."
"Costs can quickly add up if you don't plan for it."
"Databricks requires writing code in Python or SQL, so if you're a good programmer then you can use Databricks."
"Databricks' performance when serving the data to an analytics tool isn't as good as Snowflake's."
