Interactive dashboards have supported cloud analytics and now drive deeper data exploration
I don't want to hypothetically say about the effectiveness of Amazon QuickSight in terms of machine learning, so I need to pass on that. At the moment, on the cloud perspective, we have Amazon major, but we do have hybrid models. On the analytics side, we are migrating into Amazon QuickSight. One of the products is already migrating, and the rest is in the pipeline. As of now, we haven't picked it up. I don't want to say very positive at the moment about the pricing of Amazon QuickSight because my initial understanding is that it's not an easy one to adapt, but the choices are there. The reason I'm saying this is that there are two different models. Since we are partnered with Amazon and many of the other products and services we are engaging, we have an overall agreement involving this type of product. That way we are getting a benefit on that rather than an individual product. I have to pass on how much time my team spent on the deployment of Amazon QuickSight because I'm not very sure. I haven't been involved in the deployment and rollout.

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

"Interactive dashboards do help with data analysis."
"For my current environment, Amazon QuickSight is the best, though it won't be the best for everybody."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"It is fine for basic reporting."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is more refined compared to the on-premises version of OBIEE."
"I have found that the scalability quality of Oracle Analytics Cloud works extremely well."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"We use Analytics because we have a model for it which can be easily customized, and implementation time can be reduced because of this."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud allowed us to deliver faster analytics and to have a self-secured, self-tuning, self-maintained platform."
"The solution can scale."
 

Cons

"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."
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."
"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 where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"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."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"It's quite a pricey service, especially if you want to keep Amazon QuickSight running extensively."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly."
"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"We did not have a positive experience with technical support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"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."
"The solution is not affordable."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"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."
"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."
"It is an expensive platform."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
