Freelancer at a government with 501-1,000 employees
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.

Major Account Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
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

"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"SpiceDB capacity is pretty large compared to other contemporary options, including competitive software like Power BI, Tableau, etc., and it has better performance with respect to large data sets."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"Interactive dashboards do help with data analysis."
"QuickSight makes it easy to provision, create, and publish dashboards."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is easy to manage, very easy to scan and archive documents, and after digitizing it is very easy to reach archived documents."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"There isn't much support available. We had an issue and when we tried to get support, they made it clear that they can't give any support, and what is lost is lost."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"The solution is not affordable."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
"I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
