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

"The solution is simple to implement."
"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."
"Regarding the pricing model of Amazon QuickSight, I would say the solution is affordable in general in comparison to some of the other tools, for example, Tableau and Qlik."
"Efficiency has definitely improved, and the speed of developing analytics and insights has increased by at least twenty percent."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"For my current environment, Amazon QuickSight is the best, though it won't be the best for everybody."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"Its scalability is really what makes it stand out; you can on the fly increase the processing capacity of your instance for as long as you need it and then bring it back to whatever minimum setting you had, all with no downtime, which is very impressive."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"I have found that the scalability quality of Oracle Analytics Cloud works extremely well."
"The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics."
"The stability of the product itself by virtue of the fact that it's a cloud product and Oracle is responsible for its hosting is valuable."
"The solution can scale."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
 

Cons

"The cost of queries is very high."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"It is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality."
"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of Amazon QuickSight a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."

"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."
