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 can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"It works well with the AWS ecosystem."
"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."
"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data; it is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"Efficiency has definitely improved, and the speed of developing analytics and insights has increased by at least twenty percent."
"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."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data. I also like that the solution allows the user to decide what to measure and what to see in the reports."
"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."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"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."
"Oracle Analytics DV is amazing as it's giving the power to the users without involving IT."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data."
 

Cons

"Currently, auto-reporting is limited to some 30 times a day. As it is, if you want to set a data set to get it refreshed every half an hour, you cannot achieve it."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"AWS services greatly benefit well-established companies, while startups struggle with costs as they transition data out of AWS."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"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 solution could be more flexible."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"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."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"The solution is not affordable."
"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 tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."

"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."
