Awesome system once you've learned some basics

Overall, my experience with Amazon Quicksight has been amazing. I wasn't the person responsible for the initial integration/implementation within our software ecosystem, but I am one of the primary dashboard creators on our team and I'm definitely not a developer. As a semi-technical user I've found that the platform is very robust and has tons of features that make Business Intelligence reporting easy to do. Although I still haven't gotten the hang of ALL the advance features, I do feel like I'm slowly catching on to them and am probably in the 80th percentile of users. Now that I've had this tool, I definitely couldn't live without it.

Pros:

Ease of use with the reporting mechanisms is second to none. The ability to incorporate Amazon insights (AI) is amazing. I've also noticed that they release tons of new features constantly. Dashboards look really good as well.

Cons:

Pretty difficult to configure initially. If you're looking to leverage all the tools within your current system, then you'll really want to have someone certified in AWS or at least a team of devs with advanced skills. We actually reconfigured our implementation within our software after about 6 months of use and it made our lives much better.

Good dashboard tool

Overall it was good, however, if I had the choice of choosing any dashboard tool, probably would not choose Quicksight as my first option.

Pros:

we were using it as the internal dashboard to help with data analysis. Had a good variety of charts and graphs!

Cons:

While it had plenty of useful features, it was not easy to figure them out. Needed to do a line chart where on x axis needed to be able to select daily, weekly, monthly and yearly options from a drop down menu, which was done eventually, but not very straight forward!

Reasons for switching to Amazon QuickSight

Because of moving away from GCP to AWS infrastructure

Functional and good for basic data visualization

It does the job when it comes to generating reports with data that I can share fairly quickly. I wish the visualizations looked a little better as I tend to use them for stakeholder reports and the visuals do matter.

Pros:

Allows me to make data visualizations and reports quickly. Customizable for my needs, like changing the colors to match stakeholder presentations.

Cons:

Kind of difficult to log into, like with most AWS products. Some features are hard to find. Can be a little slow to load sometimes.

Reasons for switching to Amazon QuickSight

Quick set up, simple embedding, backed by the power of AWS

Overall, our team has been very please with what we get with Amazon QuickSight. The support team and our account reps have assisted us every step of the way. Their unique (from our previous solution) pricing structure took a bit of time to quote out, but once the math was done it was clear which solution was best. While we didn't keep as many dashboard author seats as first expected, the time and workload associated with onboarding and implementing was not something that overly taxed our engineers or analysts.

Pros:

The pricing structure alone got us interested, but the ease of setup and the user experience kept our attention. On the data-prep side, linking our RDS and Aurora instances was as simple as a login prompt. Mapping and prepping data was just as simple too. The process of building out our first interactive dashboards and then embedding them for our users occurred in 1/4 of the time as our previous BI solution.

Cons:

We still find a desktop SQL client the easiest route for the initial dataset queries. The editor in QuickSight is very beginner-friendly though. Someone with more time writing queries will likely only copy/paste into the editor, however.

Reasons for choosing Amazon QuickSight

The pricing structure was the biggest influence on our decision. However, we did not have to sacrifice our other needs or requirements just to hit the budget.

Reasons for switching to Amazon QuickSight

Poor support, high pricing, and quality of visuals.

Easily deployed, not so easily used and not fully integrated

Ultimately, I'm not enamoured with QuickSight at all. Yes, it is an easy-to-use, highly accessible, AWS-compatible BI product but it feels half-baked with the rest of AWS, and it has some curious approaches, some complexities that are unintuitive, and some other things that make it just that bit more frustrating than it needs to be.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

QuickSight is simple to set up - it's a public cloud AWS service so if you're already using AWS it's already there and you merely sign in to your AWS console and navigate over. It's also easy to set up your first visuals; you create a data source, create an analysis, and away you go. It helps you make interesting and effective visuals too, giving recommendations based on the nature of the data too. So, the barrier to entry for QuickSight and to start using it is extremely low. There's nothing to it.

Cons:

It's clear QuickSight is a product AWS acquired rather than natively developed because so many things are different or inconsistent with the usual AWS standards - menus, security groups, user accounts, etc. Some things you could only do via the AWS CLI. As an example, until only just recently, QuickSight had no GUI support for groups. We could make groups via the CLI, and then assign data sources and analysis to the group, but it was not available or visible in the GUI in any way. Thankfully, this feature has been added during March or April 2022. Another issue is that QuickSight sometimes doesn't work as you expect. We encountered issues with pivot tables whereby we got different results when pivoting/grouping on a specific column than when we exported the exact same data into Excel and pivoted there. We manually compared each individual row and confirmed we were looking at the exact same data. The Excel pivot was correct, while our QuickSight pivot was doing some averaging. We logged this with AWS support for help and while it was resolved the issue is that some things that ought to be simple and intuitive become a bit more complex in QuickSight. Also, QuickSight can store results for quicker access in storage it calls SPICE, and you buy SPICE quota. However, if you run out of SPICE it won't run your scheduled reports and they simply fail.

Reasons for switching to Amazon QuickSight

We switched from Tableau and Logi Info Self Service (one of the products in the Logi Analytics suite) with the goal of having a single, easy, customer self-service platform. However, our experience with QuickSight led us back to Logi Analytics and Logi Composer instead.

Quicksight-Data Made Simple

Amazon Quicksight has been incredibly helpful for us to consolidate and review a large amount of data across the operations, sales and product team. It creates a simple way to filter, review, customize and establish a process with our team to ensure we are making the correct strategic plans. It's been a helpful tool to build custom dashboards and reports, that save our team time, and energy, when needing to understand where our development needs to go to drive customer retention and acquisition, specifically when it comes to products that are popular based on active subscription.

Pros:

Quicksight is a very customizable and helpful product that allows us to track current account status and customer profiles using AWS data and create dashboards that allow our team to track account health, market status, and customer quantity on a weekly basis. It's simple to set up and makes invoicing, planning, and strategy very easy for operations.

Cons:

The UI feels a little dated and is largely only useful internally. It would be difficult to work this into our customer facing models for enterprise needs that may want to review data as it doesn't fit our design, layout or product.
