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

"QuickSight is a great savior in terms of row level security, providing almost equivalent value to Tableau and Power BI."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"It works well with the AWS ecosystem."
"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."
"Efficiency has definitely improved, and the speed of developing analytics and insights has increased by at least twenty percent."
"Amazon QuickSight is a data visualization tool that is a major component in business intelligence to extract insights from the data warehouse, enabling senior managers to have a clear vision about the data, clients, and organization to make major business decisions or strategic decisions about improving the business."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is more refined compared to the on-premises version of OBIEE."
"The advanced calculations by the tool are highly effective"
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"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."
"Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data."
"The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers. This is an area for improvement in the product. What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer."
"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."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"We did not have a positive experience with technical support."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment."
"Enterprise customers shy away from purchasing Oracle Analytics Cloud and prefer competing solutions from Tableau and Microsoft."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"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."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"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."
