In QuickSight, data is queried from datasets when visuals load within analyses, dashboards, reports, exports, in responses to questions asked in natural language to Amazon Q, or when threshold alerts are being evaluated. Direct queries are sent to the underlying data source every time a request is made. Using SPICE, a refreshable snapshot of the data is cached in QuickSight, and all queries are fulfilled using the latest snapshot in SPICE, no longer connecting to the underlying data source. In this post, we will explore the benefits and factors to consider when using SPICE and direct query mode. Afterwards, we will also discuss when and how to use which query mode most efficiently in different scenarios.

QuickSight users can now use natural language generation to create pixel-perfect reports – a new capability in Amazon Q for QuickSight that simplifies the way users create and distribute visually-rich, highly-formatted reports to their stakeholders. Pixel-perfect reports are crucial because they ensure that every detail of the report, from layout to formatting, is meticulously controlled and aesthetically pleasing. This not only creates a professional data presentation, it also improves comprehension and decision-making among stakeholders.In this post, we cover how to use generative BI capabilities to accelerate pixel-perfect report designing using Amazon Q in the QuickSight console and deliver it to QuickSight users. Pixel-perfect reports can also be delivered to non-QuickSight users in Excel, CSV, or PDF format using Snapshot Export APIs.

We are thrilled to announce that Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been recognized as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence (ABI) Platforms. This recognition marks the second consecutive year AWS has been named a Challenger, which we believe reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in the ABI space. The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates 20 ABI companies based on their Ability to Execute, which measures a vendor’s capacity to deliver its products or services effectively, and Completeness of Vision, which assesses a vendor’s understanding of the market and its strategy for future growth, according to Gartner’s report, How Markets and Vendors Are Evaluated in Gartner Magic Quadrants.

Pixel-perfect reports in Amazon QuickSight enable you to create and share highly formatted, personalized reports containing business-critical data to hundreds of thousands of end-users without infrastructure setup or maintenance, upfront licensing, or long-term commitments. To save time copying the same visual multiple times to filter for different values and generate an invoice for all your customers, you can use repeating sections in pixel-perfect reports. With repeating sections, authors can build visuals in a report one time but have the system repeat for as many values of a dimension exist. In this post, we demonstrate how to use this new feature.
