Amazon QuickSight is the first business
analytics service to offer pay-per-session pricing, making it even
more cost-effective for organizations to allow all users access to
analytics
Users can access Amazon QuickSight dashboards
for just $0.30 per session
Rio Tinto, NFL, Siemens, Volvo, and AutoTrader
are among the many customers deploying Amazon QuickSight with
pay-per-session pricing
Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:
AMZN), today announced pay-per-session pricing for Amazon
QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight is a fast, cloud-powered, business
analytics service that makes it easy for all users within an
organization—regardless of their technical skill—to build
visualizations, perform ad-hoc analysis, and quickly get business
insights from their data. With pay-per-session pricing, any user
can have read-only access to interactive, data driven dashboards in
Amazon QuickSight and pay only when they’ve accessed these
dashboards. This makes Amazon QuickSight an even more
cost-effective way for customers to make personalized business
analytics available to everyone, whether they have tens, hundreds,
or thousands of users. Pay-per-session pricing for Amazon
QuickSight dashboards starts at $0.30 per session up to a maximum
of $5 per user, per month, and is available in Amazon QuickSight
Enterprise Edition in all supported AWS regions. With
pay-per-session pricing there are no upfront costs, no annual
commitments, and no charges for inactive users. To get started with

The volume of data that businesses create and process is growing
every day. To get the most value from this data, organizations need
to make it easy and inexpensive for all users, regardless of
technical skill, to access, explore, and use data to derive
insights that drive well-informed business decisions. However, the
cost and complexity of traditional business intelligence (BI)
solutions prohibit most organizations from making analytics
ubiquitous. Licensing terms of traditional BI solutions force
customers to forecast how many users will need access to the BI
system, and to predict the expected access patterns of those users.
For customers with tens of thousands of users that have a mix of
access patterns (e.g. some need to use the system daily, while
others may only need to view reports and dashboards once a month),
this leads to either over-provisioning and paying for access they
don’t use, or under-provisioning and preventing many users from
accessing insights at all. Smaller organizations with tens or
hundreds of users lack the scale to justify the large upfront costs
of traditional BI licenses. And, while some solutions offer monthly
or annual subscriptions, these still require customers to pay full
price even for infrequent users.
With the pay-per session pricing from Amazon QuickSight,
organizations can give everyone the ability to interact with Amazon
QuickSight dashboards and pay only for actual usage of Amazon
QuickSight. Because each session is a 30-minute window priced at
$0.30, infrequent users only pay for the access they need.
Additionally, the $5 per user maximum on monthly charges allows
more frequent users to view dashboards as needed, while still
allowing organizations to easily predict their maximum spend,
giving them the peace of mind that they will not pay too much
during unexpected usage spikes. For users that need to do more with
Amazon QuickSight, including performing ad-hoc analysis, creating
visualizations, and publishing dashboards, full “authoring”
capabilities within Amazon QuickSight are available starting at $9
per user, per month.
“With highly scalable object storage in Amazon Simple Storage
Service (Amazon S3), data warehousing at one-tenth the cost of
traditional solutions in Amazon Redshift, and serverless analytics
offered by Amazon Athena, customers are moving data into AWS at an
unprecedented pace,” said Dorothy Nicholls, Vice President of
Amazon QuickSight at Amazon Web Services, Inc. “What's changed is
that virtually all knowledge workers want easy access to that data
and the insights that can be derived. It's been cost-prohibitive to
enable that access for entire companies until the Amazon QuickSight
pay-per-session pricing-- this is a game-changer in terms of
information and analytics access.”
Rio Tinto is a leading global mining group that focuses on
finding, mining, and processing the Earth's mineral resources. “At
Rio Tinto, safety is paramount, and we want to empower everyone to
make decisions with the best data available. 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,” said Anthony Deakin, Chief Advisor - Critical Risk
Management at Rio Tinto. “We asked AWS for a better solution, and
they listened. Readers in Amazon QuickSight, with pay-per-session
pricing, will help us scale the dashboards to more end-users across
the world and only pay for what we use.”
The National Football League is a professional American football
league consisting of 32 teams, and the most popular sports league
in the United States. “Through the use of technology and our Next
Gen Stats platform we have been gathering a large amount of data,
leading to new metrics and insights. Along the way we have been
looking for ways to best visualize and provide access to those data
insights, but what is important to us is to provide our Clubs a
secure and easy way to access this information,” said Matt
Swensson, Vice President, Emerging Products and Technology at the
NFL. “Amazon QuickSight will allow us to quickly build fast,
interactive dashboards that will seamlessly integrate with our Next
Gen Stats applications. With the Amazon QuickSight Readers and
pay-per-session pricing, we are able to extend these secure,
customized and easy to use dashboards for each Club without having
to provision servers or manage infrastructure – all while only
paying for actual usage. We love the direction, and look forward to
expanding use of Amazon QuickSight.”
Siemens AG is a global leader in the fields of industry, energy,
and healthcare and for infrastructure solutions. “The Amazon
QuickSight Reader role is perfect for operational dashboards, as it
allows secure, fast and cost-effective access to interactive data,”
said Massimiliano Ponticelli, Product Manager for Manufacturing
Operation Management, Siemens PLM Software. “As a cloud-based
solution, Amazon QuickSight automatically scales to our needs. The
combination of being able to connect to data from a private Virtual
Private Cloud (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 pay-per-session pricing - makes it the obvious choice. We
look forward to enabling more customers on our platform.”
Volvo Group Connected Solutions leverages data and technology to
take service innovation and development to the next level within
the Volvo Group, a leader in commercial vehicles. “As we accelerate
our AWS adoption journey, timely visibility to cost and usage
information has become critical to cost awareness among our
development teams. The Amazon QuickSight native integration with
Amazon Athena makes it the ideal serverless analytics solution,”
said Anders Rahm-Nilzon, Cloud Manager at Volvo Group Connected
Solutions. “With Amazon QuickSight pay-per-session pricing, we can
easily extend access to interactive dashboards across our teams and
only pay for what we use. Amazon 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 Amazon QuickSight has
been great!”
Auto Trader Group plc is the UK and Ireland’s largest digital
automotive marketplace. “Timely access to relevant data is the key
to success in our business. Amazon QuickSight has enabled our
analysts to move from static graphs and dashboards to fast,
interactive dashboards automatically updated with the latest data.
The native integration with Amazon Athena has allowed faster time
to analysis and saved us effort involved in additional data
curation,” said Jim Stamp, Head of Product - Data Engineering at
Auto Trader UK. “With the new pay-per-session pricing for dashboard
access, we can extend interactive dashboards with a focused
consumption experience to the entire team, with the assurance that
we only pay when we use the product. The serverless nature of
Amazon QuickSight aligns with our vision for the data platform,
with no infrastructure management needed to scale across the
company! We look forward to enabling more use cases in Amazon
QuickSight.”
