Can always access reports through intuitive dashboards that support diverse data connections
I can't specifically say how Amazon QuickSight could be improved since I focus more on using it and leveraging its functionalities. However, I could invest additional time to explore possible feedback from customers regarding their challenges. As cloud engineers, our capacity to improve is limited since AWS manages the services, but I would be open to feedback. I'm aware there are minor details that AWS could enhance, such as optimizing costs for beginners or small startups, which can be steep when trying to take Amazon QuickSight into production. Many have noticed that AWS services greatly benefit well-established companies, while startups struggle with costs as they transition data out of AWS. Understanding how AWS charges for Amazon QuickSight usage is critical for all users wanting to visualize their data effectively.

Some things that could be improved in Oracle Analytics Cloud is definitely the way it works. In some cases, for example, if you want to create analytic functions such as the percentage of a measure over another, which is a straightforward question you might ask, it appears simple to do, but the result is not what you expect. I would make it more user-friendly in terms of creating new measures. The measure creation feature could be improved. In terms of functionality, there are not many functions that are completely missing. There is one aspect that if you compare it with Power BI from Microsoft, which works completely in memory and therefore puts everything in memory to allow many calculations on the fly on what is in memory, that is missing, but it is architecturally different and would not be possible to ask for something like that. Some time features and time series analysis functions could be improved. Calculating a year ago and previous period functions could definitely work with some improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"Regarding the pricing model of Amazon QuickSight, I would say the solution is affordable in general in comparison to some of the other tools, for example, Tableau and Qlik."
"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."
"The best part about Amazon QuickSight is the filtration capability."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The solution provides a good business intelligence service."
"It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"Depending on the needs of business to business, but as far a visualizations are concerned, this is a good product."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use."
"The stability of the product itself by virtue of the fact that it's a cloud product and Oracle is responsible for its hosting is valuable."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"One area for improvement is the cost, as it's a bit expensive."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"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."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"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."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"This product does not support custom charts in the visualization."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"The product should improve its user interface. It should be welcoming and modern. Developers should also find it easier to build data models. Oracle Analytics Cloud needs to have better visualizations and more options in the marketplace."
"Enterprise customers shy away from purchasing Oracle Analytics Cloud and prefer competing solutions from Tableau and Microsoft."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
"The solution is not affordable."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"It is an expensive platform."
