What a blow to Amazon Quicksight!
I was just saying a couple of months ago what a game-changer the Quicksight pricing would be[0]. Next time data visualization comes up for me, my first move will be to compare these two options and see if Quicksight offers any additional benefits over Google Data Studio.
But I can happily say, I'll not have to have another conversation with my boss about adopting an expensive data visualization tool.

- flaviuspopan 10y agoQuicksight has been frustrating to work with to say the least. Generic error after error with no debugging info, poor integration with Athena, lacks the ability to plot data more granular than hourly, and with a max limit of 4 decimal precision accuracy. I guess if you're in sales it could be fine, but nowhere near ready for any serious analytics.
- huy 10y agoWhile Quicksight is game-changing in their pricing and trying to disrupt the usually-overpriced BI market (the same thing it did very successfully with Amazon Redshift and data-warehouse market), as the other comment pointed out their product is still not up-to-par with existing ones. If you're looking for affordable BI platform for startup, check out Holistics [0] (note: I'm cofounder), we are very tech startup-friendly, and our pricing starts at $49/mo for up to 5 users. Our customers range from 3-person shop to 600+ person unicorn startup. [0] https://www.holistics.io https://www.holistics.io
