Featured Reviews

Nerissa Serrano - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for developing dashboards for various lines of business
Yes, before using Amazon QuickSight, I worked with other products, including Power BI and Tableau. We switched to Amazon QuickSight since it was more affordable. Compared to Amazon QuickSight, Power BI offers a broader range of visualization options and more flexible formatting capabilities. Power BI provides more visual choices, easier page formatting with specific control options, and the ability to use bookmarks to enhance the dashboard's appeal. One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards. For small-scale businesses, Amazon QuickSight is cost-effective. However, for larger datasets, tools like Power BI and Tableau may be more efficient, even if they require additional AWS services. QuickSight's pay-per-view model is suitable for smaller data, but your choice depends on your data size and requirements.
Enrique Pacheco Salinas - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced analytics facilitate strategy development but demand specialized expertise and better support
Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks. However, skilled personnel are needed to operate it effectively due to its complexity. In addition, the brand name carries significant value as many large companies and banks are familiar with Oracle.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like that with Amazon QuickSight, you don't need to install an app to use its services. With other BI tools, you need to install the app, so Amazon QuickSight is better for me in this area."
"QuickSight makes it easy to provision, create, and publish dashboards."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"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."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
 

Cons

"The cost of queries is very high."
"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."
"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."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
"The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions."
"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."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"It is expensive."
