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 works well with the AWS ecosystem."
"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."
"It is fine for basic reporting."
"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 solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"Efficiency has definitely improved, and the speed of developing analytics and insights has increased by at least twenty percent."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"The product is able to compare with other tools on the market; it has everything you need, everything you can find in other tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and additionally, it has history, so you get a robust solution with support."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
 

Cons

"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"The cost of queries is very high."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"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."
"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."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"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."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."

"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
