"Amazon QuickSight easy to use with other AWS services and good for beginners with BI reporting"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon QuickSight?

Amazon QuickSight is a good choice to use with AWS services like S3 and AWS Redshift. It is cost effective as you only pay when you access dashboards in QuickSight. Also it supports SQL, CSV and EXECL file formats which is useful for implementation. QuickSight is much more simpler than other BI reporting tools like Power BI hence its easy for beginners to learn and use. Quicksight has good collaboration and sharing within AWS hence can be useful if used often within the team. It is serverless hence no infrastructure to manage. Support by AWS Customer Support.

What do you dislike about Amazon QuickSight?

Amazon QuickSight does not support many external connectors for integration with other services, hence not so easy to integrate with third party software. It has limited collaboration and sharing options. Also no dedicated standalone app related with its services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Powerful and Affordable BI Tool for AWS Users, with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon QuickSight?

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.

What do you dislike about Amazon QuickSight?

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.

"Fairly intuitive and powerful enough for dataset contained within AWS"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon QuickSight?

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.

What do you dislike about Amazon QuickSight?

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.
