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.

Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

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."
"The product is easy to learn."
"QuickSight makes it easy to provision, create, and publish dashboards."
"Efficiency has definitely improved, and the speed of developing analytics and insights has increased by at least twenty percent."
"QuickSight is a great savior in terms of row level security, providing almost equivalent value to Tableau and Power BI."
"It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"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 easy to manage, very easy to scan and archive documents, and after digitizing it is very easy to reach archived documents."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
"The designer and workspace tools in Kofax Insight are good, providing the ability to design applications directly and read various types of PDF images, handwritten files and cheques, transferring the data from these images into the database and making it accessible on mobile and computer devices."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Based on my experience, it's been a very, very good product, a very powerful insight analytics or business KPI-type tool that provides a very good data-based review of intelligent document processing and allows clients to develop their own reliable, customized reports."
 

Cons

"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of queries is very high."
"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."
"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."
"Amazon QuickSight could be improved by embedding AI features. For example, making automation for filling missing data or reformatting incorrect data formats, and making date corrections."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
"The solution is not cheap. It is a bit pricey, and therefore more suited towards larger companies."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
"The reporting and internal integration systems could be improved by making them more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"The solution is not affordable."
"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."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
