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

"The solution provides a good business intelligence service."
"A valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is that it's a cloud-native service provided by AWS. As all platforms within my company run on AWS, that's the leverage of Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight is also easy to use, and I find the native connectors from AWS valuable as well."
"The best part about Amazon QuickSight is the filtration capability."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"There is no REVIEW content provided to evaluate."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us, as all employees can access it from anywhere, which is a big advantage for us."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data."
"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"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."
"We use Analytics because we have a model for it which can be easily customized, and implementation time can be reduced because of this."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"The stability of the product itself by virtue of the fact that it's a cloud product and Oracle is responsible for its hosting is valuable."
 

Cons

"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"It is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality. An intelligence tool should not be only for creating reports. Currently, we have to do all computational and mathematical operations outside. We should be able to do such operations in an intelligence tool like this. As an intelligence tool, it should support dynamic refresh. QuickSight currently supports the refresh at a minimum of one hour, and it is not suitable for dynamic dashboards that require frequent refreshes."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"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."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"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."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"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."
"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"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."
"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 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."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"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."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"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."
"It is an expensive platform."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
