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."
"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 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."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"Interactive dashboards do help with data analysis."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"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."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"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 Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"It's rather user-friendly."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
 

Cons

"The cost of queries is very high."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"We weren't able to fully implement it due to security concerns."
"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."
"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 is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality."
"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."
"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment."
"When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly."
"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."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"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 rate the price of Amazon QuickSight a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
"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."
"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."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"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."
