Amazon QuickSight Reviews & Product Details

When I think of Amazon QuickSight, the first thing that comes to my attention is the fact that it made the task of building any sort of interactive dashboards much easier compared to other tools that I had previously used for presenting data. As for my experience with QuickSight – the interface was very intuitive. That allowed me and my colleagues to interact with plenty of data that we had in our AWS ecosystem – which was very helpful and saved us a lot of headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first yes, I did get the feeling that there is a lack of avenues for dashboard personalization, but the longer that I stayed with the system, the more I realized that the vast majority of our requirements can be satisfied with the provided templates. Though, I do still think that a twp or three more types of graphical representation would be meet additional needs fairly well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m working with a 500 GB dataset that includes about a dozen filters, and performance is generally good. It occasionally slows down, likely due to real-time indexing after a refresh, but improves with subsequent filtering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboards don't have a traditional "data model" like in PowerBI. Instead, they’re structured more like a large pivot table, typically using one or more large tables without any joins between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Amazon QuickSight is how easy it is to use and how quickly it works, regardless of your skill level. Its ease of implementation is impressive, as it’s cloud-based and requires no installations or complex setups. Additionally, the frequency of use is high because it’s so accessible, and the ease of integration with other AWS services makes it a seamless part of your workflow. Overall, it’s a straightforward and efficient tool And there are multiple features that are very usefull for generating reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there is nothing to dislike but there is always a scope of improvement.some of few things which i suggest are :

Limited Customization: If you want highly personalized charts or reports, it’s not as flexible as some other tools.

Learning Curve: While it’s generally easy to use, some features might take time to understand, especially for complete beginners.

Cost: Pricing can add up if you have many users or need advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QuickSight is a SaaS ( Software as a Service). Users or BI developers can set up the account in minutes and connect different data sources and develop analysis and dashboards very quickly. Some of the important features of QuickSight.

1. Using SPICE data can be load into memory and reports and dashboards can take the data from SPICE instead of hitting the data source again. This will make dashboard and report data availabilty faster.

2. Different data sources can be integrated with QuickSight like cloud based data warehouse like Redshift, Snowflake and databases like mysql, postgress and also connect with Athena and S3 directly.

3. QuickSight has security features like restirct the data access like RLS ( Row level Security ) and CLS( Column level security).

4. QuickSight has the features like QuickSight Q where user can set up topic and ask question and it can generated high quanlity dashboard and reports on the fly.

5. QuickSight has the capability of the embeded features where QuickSight dashboard can be embeded in external applications.

6. QuickSight has pagination report capability for high quality reportings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Troubleshooting of the issues in QuickSight may take sometime as logs and other details are not presented to the user or admins. Most of the time, user depends upon AWS team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A user that is a reader can do quite a lot of sorting, drilling down, drilling up, and so on. These things aren't that hard to set up. IMO, this is generally easier to implement here than in powerBI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are more obvious bugs and oversights than there should be, making it feel sort of incomplete. Sometimes controls, when you reset them to default won't reset correctly. Some graphs I'm pretty sure have elements that can't be formatted. It's almost like they just forgot to add an option to change that graph element. What is there is generally straightforward.

Designing and building dashboards.

Designing a simple dashboard is pretty easy. If you just want to create some tables and graphs with filters (especially if you have one tab) it's really easy to do! Oh and the mapping features are pretty easy to use. Overall, amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Advance functionality in dashboard is pretty limited. There is equivalent to dax, but in comparison it's much more limited. The error message it gives you sometimes looks like SQL syntax and reference nested case statements which makes me think the function it has are converted to some sort of simple SQL functions behind the scenes. We don't need to do many advanced calculations in our datasets but even then I have run into things that just can't be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I enjoy best about Amazon QuickSight is its straightforward and user-friendly interface, which makes data visualization accessible even to non-technical users. The platform provides a variety of graphic options, ranging from simple charts to complicated graphs, allowing users to show data in the most effective manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Amazon QuickSight is its pricing structure, which can become prohibitively expensive as usage increases, particularly for small enterprises or individual users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its ability to seamlessly integrate machine learning insights and natural language querying, which makes data analysis intuitive and accessible for everyone. The real-time data visualization and the ease of creating interactive dashboards also stand out, enabling quick, informed decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect of Amazon QuickSight that could be improved is its limited customization options for visualizations compared to other BI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the best about Amazon quick-sight because it is easy to use. I can also integrate easily with my products. there are many features I can use, which are helpful for my company. it is easy to implement and integrate. finally, the customer support is beneficial.

It may be a little confusing because of its per-session pricing. Unlike most BI tools, QuickSight allows less number of options for visual and dashboard customization, which somehow limits its flexibility in use for users having different requirements. Some users have reported performance issues for large data, including slow query performance and loading times. At times, the user interface can get non-intuitive and complicated, with a steep learning curve for users who are brand new. Some of the advanced features seen in other business intelligence tools, such as advanced analytics and custom visualizations, are either not in QuickSight at all or not offered to the degree that they are in some other business intelligence tools.
