Has anyone ever used AWS Quicksight? What do you think about it?

It’s good if your only source of data is from AWS. If you need to create a composite model that uses multiple sources, you might consider tableau/power bi.

Awesome, my team definitely needs more complex visuals so I think Tableau is what I will look into. Appreciate the insight!!

smart

I like it. Specially if you are already on an aws infrastructure. It integrates neatly with the other aws services.

AWS Quicksight sucks! Its only saving grace is that it’s a virtually free part of the AWS platform. It’s barebones and far from feature-rich when compared to Tableau and PBI. It’s enough for companies who refuse to invest in BI.

Tableau is definitely the way to go if you can stomach the price. Yeah PBI has a tighter integration to the micro$oft stack, and bill themselves as a budget friendlier option. But they’ll take their pound of flesh once they rope you in and you discover that you need a higher license level to do basic stuff.

Tableau is where the excitement is at, Sigma might be a solid viable option if you’re dealing with massive datasets. But also consider the caliber of people who you will be working with, or who you yourself will become.

I personally prefer the tool that allows you to create bespoke pieces of art rather than a templated plug and play wysiwyg that forces you to have an end in mind before you begin. Tableau forces you to understand the components that make up data visualization and thereby enabling you to discover, rather than just be a report writer. Might as well go back to Cognos in that case 🤪

also…

Tableau versus Power BI. It's never been about the feature set. It's always been about the user.

Power BI puts SQL monkeys and slide junkies in charge of your data. Tableau puts analysts in charge of your data.

Tableau's more expensive because its user is more valuable to achieving business outcomes.

If only Salesforce understood this.

Works ok if it's only aws data, once you start looking at secondary and tertiary platforms it's garbage.

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!
