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.

Data projects have grown rapidly and support complex analytics and quick dashboard delivery
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

"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"For my current environment, Amazon QuickSight is the best, though it won't be the best for everybody."
"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."
"SpiceDB capacity is pretty large compared to other contemporary options, including competitive software like Power BI, Tableau, etc., and it has better performance with respect to large data sets."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"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."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"Technical support is very fast and accurate."
"Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
 

Cons

"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"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."
"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."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers."
"It is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"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."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"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."
 

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."
"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'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."
"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"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."
"The solution is not affordable."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
