Room For Improvement

Amazon QuickSight struggles with feature limitations, integration issues, high costs, and lacks user-friendliness compared to competitors.
Pyramid Analytics needs better documentation, user interface improvements, customization, customer support, cloud integration, and AI capabilities.
Understanding how AWS charges for Amazon QuickSight usage is critical for all users wanting to visualize their data effectively.

For example, making automation for filling missing data or reformatting incorrect data formats, and making date corrections.

On the analytics side, we are migrating into Amazon QuickSight. One of the products is already migrating, and the rest is in the pipeline.

Other improvements Pyramid Analytics needs are to make the platform more user-friendly for the layman because when presenting something this complicated to companies, if they cannot use it to its full capacity, it is a possible loss.
Reporting Specialist at a marketing services firm with 10,001+ employees
Any advanced user wants to implement an idea that they have, and while the whole idea of a platform is not necessarily to give a custom solution, I would not mind if they had more in terms of AutoML or that sort of capability.

Visually, when you want to see the whole model and the connections between tables, the view is not friendly.

When we went to market and had quotes from multiple different vendors including Power BI and other leading software tools, it was at a comparative level but lower and a bit more cost-effective.

It's not more expensive than all our other BI tools regarding Pyramid Analytics.
Works at a comms service provider with 201-500 employees
Some of the conditions where we require to update this licensing part where we will be cut off some of the annual price, some of the specific institution such as for education or EdTech or hospitals, this will be useful.

Has supported visualization and decision making but can improve with intelligent automation features
Amazon QuickSight can create features such as charts for prediction or forecasting important issues about sales in the last year or quarter. You can create pie charts, line charts, scatter charts, and bar charts. These tools are very important to express changes in categories by location. You can measure the progress of sales, and you can measure the weakness or lowest activity of sales in some areas and determine how to improve it. The graphics are very important to create a data story of the business data. The interactive dashboards of Amazon QuickSight are very important tools in business intelligence. You can select or filter for specific cases the business is searching for, such as a specific product or specific area, including Europe, Asia, America, or South America. You can create interactive selections or filtering of the data.
Ynazif Nazif - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO & Principal Consultant at Pyramid Analytics & Consulting
Unified data workflows have improved reporting quality and now support better decisions
The best features Pyramid Analytics offers include a broad range of features, which I think is one of the advantages of it. It has a lot of connectors and a lot of different capabilities. I would say end-to-end capabilities is one of the nice features of it. Regarding the end-to-end capabilities and lots of connectors, I found the connectors most valuable. If you are trying to do Snowflake, SQL server, or any of the normal database platforms that you see in the cloud or on-premises, it has those connectors built in. You don't have to worry about writing custom drivers. That is a nice feature to have. Pyramid Analytics has impacted my organization positively in that I use it for my clients' organizations. For my organization, it is great because it gives me a technology platform that clients enjoy using and I am proficient with. For my clients, it is about delivering on their aspirations in terms of what they want to do with their data and where they want to head in their organization. This is definitely a tool that we can use in order to get there. After implementing Pyramid Analytics for my clients, I have seen measurable outcomes and specific improvements, such as having a single platform that gets them from the raw data to the endpoint reporting. I think that streamlining has a positive effect on the quality of the outputs. The quality of the outputs definitely leads to better decision making.
