AWS recognized as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms

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.

Introducing repeating sections in Amazon QuickSight pixel-perfect reports

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.

Secure data in Amazon QuickSight with VPC endpoints powered by AWS PrivateLink

AWS PrivateLink interface VPC endpoints provide private connectivity between a QuickSight website, VPCs, or on-premises networks without exposing traffic to the public internet. Traffic between the VPC and the website doesn’t leave the Amazon network, and all communication between the VPC and the website is kept private within AWS, making sure the data in QuickSight is kept secure. Administrators can also use VPC endpoint policies to restrict access to QuickSight accounts that are not authorized on their network.
