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

"Amazon QuickSight is a data visualization tool that is a major component in business intelligence to extract insights from the data warehouse, enabling senior managers to have a clear vision about the data, clients, and organization to make major business decisions or strategic decisions about improving the business."
"Efficiency has definitely improved, and the speed of developing analytics and insights has increased by at least twenty percent."
"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data; it is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"It is fine for basic reporting."
"For my current environment, Amazon QuickSight is the best, though it won't be the best for everybody."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"Oracle Analytics DV is amazing as it's giving the power to the users without involving IT."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"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."
"Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data."
 

Cons

"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"The setup process falls somewhere in the middle. It is not straightforward, nor is it complex, but there is a significant amount of work needed on the back end to make it function."
"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."
"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."
"I looked at the predictive analytics feature in Oracle Analytics Cloud, but I used it very little because, everything considered, it does not add very much."
"One of the major issues is that Oracle Analytics Cloud is not user-friendly, requiring skilled people with proper certifications to work with it successfully."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"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."
"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
"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."
"The solution is not affordable."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."
"I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I don't know the exact cost, but its pricing was good. Its pricing was competitive. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
