How QuickSight Works
QuickSight allows you to connect to your data sources, and create dashboards that can be
securely shared across your organization.

SPICE
QuickSight is powered by SPICE, a super-fast calculation engine that delivers
performance and scale, regardless of how many users are active.

Why QuickSight:
“From the start, scalability was a core requirement for us. We chose QuickSight as it is scalable,
enabling SI to extend to multiple syndicated partners without having to provision or manage
additional infrastructure. Furthermore, QuickSight provides interactive dashboards that can be
easily embedded into an application. Lastly, QuickSight’s rich APIs abstract away a lot of
functionality that would otherwise need to be custom built.”

Amazon QuickSight allows our analysts to create insightful dashboards
quickly for our critical risk management programme. Enabling us to move
from static spreadsheets to interactive data. However, rolling out these
dashboards at scale to the field was going to be costly and complicated. We
asked AWS for a better solution, and they listened. Readers in QuickSight,
with usage-based pricing, will help us scale the dashboards to more end-users
across the world and only pay for what we use”

Customers
Why QuickSight:
“We see a need to support learners, teachers, and leaders in education by helping to change their
relationship with data and information—to reduce the distance between information and experience,
between ‘informed’ and ‘acting.’
A large part of this strategy involves embedding information directly where our users are
collaborating, teaching, and learning—providing tools and insights that aid in assessment, draw
attention to opportunities learners may be missing, and help strategic and academic leadership
identify patterns and opportunities for intervention. We’re particularly interested in making the
experience of being informed much more intuitive—favoring insight-informed workflows and/or
embedded prose over traditional visualizations that require interpretation.
By removing the step of interpretation, embedded visualizations make insights more useful and
actionable. With QuickSight, we were able to deliver on our promise of embedding visualizations
quickly, supporting the rapid iteration that we require, at the large scale needed to support our global
user community.”

“As we accelerate our AWS adoption journey, timely visibility to cost and usage
information has become critical to cost awareness among our development teams.
Amazon QuickSight's native integration with Athena makes it the ideal serverless
analytics solution. With QuickSight readers, we can easily extend access to interactive
dashboards across our teams and only pay for what we use. QuickSight dashboards
allow us to easily provide a customized, interactive view for each team, and let team
leads glance at trends and KPIs, quickly filter data or drill down to the details. The move
from static email reports and ad-hoc analysis to always-available data in QuickSight has
been great!”

Customers
Why QuickSight:
"With QuickSight we are not constrained by pre-built BI reports, and can easily customize and
track the right operational metrics such as product utilization, market penetration and available
inventory to gain a holistic view of our business. These inputs help us to understand current
performance and future opportunity so that we can provide greater partnership to our Clients,
while delivering on our brand promise of creating healthier employee populations.
During the late-winter/early Spring of 2020, we embedded QuickSight dashboards into our
Client platforms as a key deliverable of our Safe at Work/COVID SaaS product. It allowed our
teams to seamlessly communicate with our clients – all viewing the same information,
simultaneously. QuickSight’s embedding capabilities, along with its secure platform, intuitive
design and flexibility allowed us to service all stakeholders – both internally and externally. This
greater flexibility and customization allowed us to fit the client’s needs, seamlessly.”

The QuickSight Reader role is perfect for operational dashboards, as it allows secure,
fast and cost-effective access to interactive data. As a cloud-based solution, QuickSight
automatically scales to our needs. The combination of being able to connect to data
from a private VPC, authenticate users via SAML, easily author dashboards with drill
downs and rich visuals, and allow read-only access to a large audience - without any
infrastructure management, and with usage-based pricing - makes it the obvious
choice. We look forward to enabling more customers on our platform.

Why QuickSight:
“We started using Amazon QuickSight to report on in-flight Wi-Fi performance, and with
its rich APIs, pay-per-session pricing, and ability to scale, we quickly rolled out
QuickSight dashboards to hundreds of users. The constant evolution of the platform
has been impressive: ML-powered anomaly detection, Amazon SageMaker integration,
embedding, theming, and cross-visual filtering. Our users consume insights via natural
language narratives, which allows them to read all their information right off the
dashboard with no complex interpretation needed.”

QuickSight visuals

AutoGraph
• AutoGraph isn't a visual type itself
=> Amazon QuickSight chooses your visual
• Amazon QuickSight uses the most
appropriate visual type for the number
and data types of the fields you select.

Bar charts

Bar charts
• Single-measure: shows values for a single
measure for a dimension
• 1 axis + 1 value
• Multi-measure: shows values for multiple
measure for a dimension
• 1 axis + ≥2 values
• Clustered: shows values for a single
measure for a dimension, grouped by
another dimension
• 1 axis + 1 value + 1 Group

Bar charts
Single measure: Multi measure: Clustered

Stacked bar
• Stacked bar is similar to a clustered bar chart in
that it displays a measure for two dimensions, but
displays one bar parent dimensiom with color-
block of children dimension.
• Stacked 100 percent is similar to a stacked bar
chart but the color blocks reflect the percentage of
each item in the child dimension, out of 100
percent.

Waterfall charts

Waterfall Charts
• Waterfall charts visualize a sequential summation as values are
added or subtracted
• 1 category and/or 1 value

Waterfall Charts
• Waterfall charts are most commonly used to present financial data, because you can
show change within one time period or from one time period to another. This way,
you can visualize the different factors that have an impact your project cost.
• 1 category and/or 1 value + 1 breakdown

Line charts

Line Charts
• Line charts compare changes in measure values over period of time
