We performed a comparison between Amazon QuickSight and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is simple to implement."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"It is fine for basic reporting."
"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."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"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."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"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."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"It can be made more user-friendly as some users might find this solution hard to implement. Qlik Sense, for example, is very user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
