QuaerisAI vs. AWS QuickSight
QuickSight works—if you’re deep in AWS.
QuickSight is cost-effective and easy to deploy for teams already embedded in Amazon’s ecosystem. But for non-technical users or teams working with unstructured data, it quickly hits limitations.
QuaerisAI is built for how business works today.
From spreadsheets to slide decks, QuaerisAI connects data and documents in a single, intelligent interface—no code, no clutter, no cloud lock-in. Just smart answers, fast.
Ease of Use
- QuickSight is Amazon’s answer to BI—but it feels like Amazon's answer to everything: flexible, affordable, and not exactly intuitive. It works well if you're already knee-deep in AWS and don’t mind clicking around for hours.
- QuaerisAI was designed for humans, not engineers. There are no “analyses” and “dashboards” to build before you can ask a simple question. You don’t need to memorize function syntax—just type or speak your query and go.
- QuickSight is a tool. QuaerisAI is a teammate
Embedded Analytics
- AWS QuickSight’s embedding is tightly coupled to the AWS ecosystem, requiring SDKs and complex configuration. Costs can be unpredictable as your usage scales.
- QuaerisAI breaks free from cloud lock-in. Embed analytics into any environment, connect any source, and start asking questions in natural language. No special dev environment needed.
- Choose QuaerisAI for flexibility, portability, and budget control

Total Cost of Ownership
- Sure, QuickSight starts cheap. But then you need to pay for authors, readers, SPICE capacity, API calls, scheduled reports… it adds up, fast.
- QuaerisAI offers transparent, user-based pricing with enterprise-level functionality—no sneaky surprise fees. It scales with you without scaling your stress.
- You won’t need a cloud economist to read your QuaerisAI invoice
Ease of Implementation
- QuickSight implementation is usually smooth if you’re fully embedded in AWS. Outside of that? Get ready to wrangle IAM permissions, Redshift connectors, and data refresh schedules.
- QuaerisAI connects to any modern data source, inside or outside AWS, and starts delivering insights right away. Setup doesn’t require a DevOps team—it just works.
- QuaerisAI is cloud-agnostic and commitment-free. Just like your users want

Collaboration Tools
- QuickSight’s collaboration model is tied to dashboards and scheduled reports—it’s BI stuck in broadcast mode. Interactivity is limited unless you’re a creator-level user.
- QuaerisAI takes a modern, conversational approach. Everyone can ask, respond, share, and explore—together—in real time. It’s data meets dialogue, without the need for a meeting.
- It’s not “BI as usual.” It’s “BI meets DM.”
Talking to Data and Documents
- QuickSight simply doesn’t handle document intelligence. If your insights live in PDFs, Word docs, or contracts, QuickSight is blind to them.
- QuaerisAI unlocks structured and unstructured data in one seamless UI. Ask it a question that references both spreadsheet tables and procurement contracts, and it delivers the answer like magic.
- It’s like having ChatGPT... but for your data and docs
Cloud Flexibility
- QuickSight: Works best with Redshift, S3, Athena, and other AWS-native tools. External connections add friction.
- QuaerisAI: Works across Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, Oracle, Excel, SharePoint, and more—cloud-agnostic by design.
- Advantage: QuaerisAI for enterprise-wide access and vendor independence
Time to First Insight
- QuickSight: Hours to configure + hours to build dashboard + hours to review = days to answers
- QuaerisAI: Connect data and ask your first question in under 15 minutes
- Advantage: QuaerisAI for speed of thought execution

Why QuaerisAI Has the Edge Over AWS QuickSight
QuickSight is a solid choice for teams deep in the AWS ecosystem—but outside of that? It gets clunky fast. Non-technical users struggle to explore data, and there’s no support for unstructured content like contracts or reports.
QuaerisAI makes insights accessible to everyone.
- Works across any cloud or data platform—not just AWS
- No training needed—just ask your data a question
- Unified view of data and documents in a single pane of glass
- Fast implementation with no DevOps burden
- Transparent pricing with no surprise AWS billing
QuickSight shows you the data. QuaerisAI shows you what it means.
