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.

The Briefing Book feature enables measures to be filtered and viewed based on different criteria by end users.
This software is targeted at executive users, not the data analysts who want to slice and dice. The software will not replace your BI tools, but it will sit nicely on top of a BI tool if you want management to have quick and easy access to performance data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to learn."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"For my current environment, Amazon QuickSight is the best, though it won't be the best for everybody."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"What I do like about QuickSight is that it gives a relative beginner the ability to really start seeing results quickly."
"There is no REVIEW content provided to evaluate."
"The ROI for QuickSight we have experienced is high."
"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."
"It is a comprehensive solution for performance management, and yet it is easy to setup and easy to use, especially in comparison with Oracle, SAS, Hyperion and SAP."
 

Cons

"It should support integration with Python or R."
"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."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"Pricing could be improved."
"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."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers."
"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."
"Amazon QuickSight charges $250 per user, which becomes expensive when managing multiple departments."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"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."
"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
