QuickSight Migration from Qlik: Feature Parity Questions & Future Roadmap

Question & Answer
,
1

Hello QuickSight Community,

I’m currently evaluating a migration from Qlik to QuickSight, and I have a few questions about feature equivalency and future development:

Dynamic Dimension Selection
In Qlik, we can create dynamic tables/dashboards where users can select dimensions through checkboxes to modify the aggregation view (e.g., aggregating sales data by country, product_name, or both). Does QuickSight offer similar functionality?

Data Validation and Alerts
Does QuickSight support automated data validation with alert notifications? For example, in Qlik, we can set up rules (like flagging gross margins below 0.1%) that trigger email notifications with direct links to the relevant dashboard when violations occur.

Redshift Connectivity with Enhanced VPC Networking
I'm experiencing difficulties connecting to Redshift when using Enhanced VPC Networking (the feature that enables editor access and Redshift API connectivity). Are there specific requirements or limitations I should be aware of?

QuickSight Q Chat History
Can QuickSight Q save prompt history and maintain chat conversations for future reference? If so, how long is the history retained and can it be exported?

QuickSight Roadmap
Is there a public roadmap for QuickSight that outlines upcoming features and improvements? If so, where can it be accessed and shared with stakeholders?

Any insights or guidance on these topics would be greatly appreciated.

@kolodnydan ,

Thanks for your questions :slight_smile:

Dynamic Dimension Selection
have a look at this example : https://democentral.learnquicksight.online/#Dashboard-TipsAndTricks-Interactivity-Dynamic-Dimensions-and-Measures

Data Validation and Alerts
Users can create alerts : Working with threshold alerts in Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight

Redshift Connectivity with Enhanced VPC Networking
Use the following forum to ask question on Redshift https://repost.aws/

QuickSight Q Chat History
The Q&A capability is not a chatbot . You can view your questions previously asked , you can also mark questions as verified which is then visible for other users .

QuickSight Roadmap
Unfortunately, Quicksight team cannot share publicly product roadmaps or any schedule in regards to feature updates.
I would recommend checking out the What’s New Blog for any potential updates. You can add notifications as well so that you don’t miss any updates or news.

Kind regards,
Koushik

Hi @kolodnydan,
It’s been awhile since we last heard from you, did you have any additional questions regarding your initial post?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out this topic.

Thank you
