Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 1, 2025

Amazon QuickSight and Oracle Analytics Cloud are competitors in the business intelligence and analytics space. Amazon QuickSight appears to have the upper hand for AWS-integrated companies due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

Features: Amazon QuickSight integrates seamlessly with AWS services and offers machine learning capabilities. It provides fast, self-service analytics and unique features like Amazon Q for natural language queries. SPICE enhances performance with large datasets. Oracle Analytics Cloud excels in robust data visualization, dashboarding, and machine learning. It offers strong data security, enterprise reporting, and is ideal for large enterprises needing detailed insights.

Room for Improvement: Amazon QuickSight needs more advanced visualization options, better data integration tools, and improved machine learning support. Enhanced data refresh options and cost competitiveness could be beneficial. Oracle Analytics Cloud should improve its visualization, metadata management, and AI/machine learning integration. The user interface could be more intuitive, with simplified data connectivity and more flexible dashboarding features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Amazon QuickSight's public cloud deployment makes it easily accessible and manageable for AWS users. It has decent documentation, though customer support can vary. Oracle Analytics Cloud is deployable on public, hybrid, and on-premises models, offering flexibility but with potentially longer setup times and a steeper learning curve. Customer support is generally fast and supportive, though some inconsistencies are noted.

Pricing and ROI: Amazon QuickSight provides competitive pricing with a pay-as-you-go model, particularly beneficial for AWS users, offering a higher ROI due to lower costs despite additional storage and compute charges. Oracle Analytics Cloud is more expensive, comparable to Tableau and Power BI, but its feature set meets enterprise needs. While offering good ROI, its flexibility and comprehensive analysis justify the price for larger organizations.

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.

Head Of Data And Ai at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Data projects have grown rapidly and support complex analytics and quick dashboard delivery

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

"For my current environment, Amazon QuickSight is the best, though it won't be the best for everybody."

"Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports."

"Whatever I pay for Amazon QuickSight, I get back, so I am not worried about ROI."

"There is no REVIEW content provided to evaluate."

"Interactive dashboards do help with data analysis."

"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."

"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."

"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."

More Amazon QuickSight pros

"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."

"This is a stable and scalable solution."

"Technical support is very fast and accurate."

"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."

"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."

"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."

"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pros

Cons

"There should be better connectors for different data sets."

"The setup process falls somewhere in the middle. It is not straightforward, nor is it complex, but there is a significant amount of work needed on the back end to make it function."

"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."

"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers."

"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."

"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."

"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."

"We weren't able to fully implement it due to security concerns."

More Amazon QuickSight cons

"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."

"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."

"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics."

"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"

"One of the major issues is that Oracle Analytics Cloud is not user-friendly, requiring skilled people with proper certifications to work with it successfully."

"The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions."
