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

"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"We were selecting it for scalability, but we didn't get that far."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"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."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"The technical support services are good."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us, as all employees can access it from anywhere, which is a big advantage for us."
"Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data."
 

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."
"Amazon QuickSight could be improved by embedding AI features. For example, making automation for filling missing data or reformatting incorrect data formats, and making date corrections."
"One area for improvement is the cost, as it's a bit expensive."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."
"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."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
"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 product pricing is better than other vendors."

"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 wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
"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."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"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."
