Amazon QuickSight Reviews & Product Details

Stochastic integration with AWS is QuickSight's best feature in my opinion, joined by its very cheap pay-per-session pricing and one of the most user-friendly interfaces. Therefore, with the natural language query (QuickSight Q), it makes data analysis fast and easy, while large datasets are handled smoothly, with great scalability. An ideal choice for AWS-centric people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be disappointing to see the broad customization options provided by other vendors-for instance, Tableau or Power BI-not being extended to Amazon QuickSight in areas of visualization or dashboard customization. Very large datasets may slow down performance; complex queries generally cause difficulties; and integration with non-AWS data sources sometimes requires extra effort, though AWS definitely has a lot of built-in connectors. Besides, basic features are easy to learn, but advanced features like calculated fields or custom SQL queries have a steep learning curve in that it may take weeks or months to truly master all the technicalities. Even these limits might obstruct people attempting to achieve more nicely tailored or complex analytics solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quicksight has good visualization capabilities, and integrates well with AWS-hosted datasets. It offers a good entry point to BI tools, whit enough tools to put something together quickly yet effectively fairly intuitive (although some features are not so straightforward i.e. page filters)

On top of that, it does do well in access controls (both at a row and column level), and can be configured with AWS ML capabilities for alerts and annomalies.

Creating calculating fields will require a bit of learning, but easy enogh to pick up if you are familiar with other BI´s tools syntaxes.

The pricing model is flexible enough and can be a good choice for a BI tool when the use base is small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigating the IAM permissions can be a bit painful, and it´s prone to duplication of licenses for users (specially in multiple AWS accounts environments).

Things like filters and parameters are not the most straigthforward thing to implement, and there is little room for customization of visuals (which can feel very restrictive for advance Tableau users).

As far as I could see, there is no easy way to create ´tamplate´ dashboard to re-use/re-deploy across different AWS accounts, and if you are a PowerBI user you may really miss Power Query like tools to clean and prepare your data.

For less-technical users, there may be a bit of a learning curve that will require some SQL skills, specially if you are pulling your data from Athena views Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 love that how easy it was to learn using this product. Amazon QS is part of the AWS ecosystem, therefore it offers seamless AWS integration with services like S3, Redshift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team believes this tool lacks advanced customization options for dashboards and visualizations compared to the previously used Power BI and Tableau. As we prioritize cost-efficiency, we don't use SPICE, so the data refresh rates are slower than average, especially when we are having bigger clients who need larger datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the most helpful things i found about Amazon QS is the fact that its very easy to use and above that its easier to explain to Manager level personnel. I have increased my use of Quick Sight by passage of time due to its simple integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just have a hard time understanding how to use filters in the different sheets and have an understanding of global and local variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon QuickSight is great for its fast, scalable, and serverless BI capabilities. I like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked most of its features but there's just one thing on which I would like to highlight my review is that it provides limited customization options. 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.

It amazed me with it's unique features on which I can actually rely and it gave me actual results. 100% recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although, Most of the things left me with satisfaction but there's always room for betterment. I would suggest an increase in customisation options will make it perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QuickSight uses a pay-per-session pricing model, which is significantly more budget-friendly compared to traditional BI tools that require per-user licensing fees, which i really like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to tools like Tableau or Power BI, QuickSight has fewer visualization customization options and lacks advanced interactivity in dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
