"The solution is simple to implement."

What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."

"Adding predefined templates could be beneficial."
"The tool should include features for prediction. It can also improve the scalability."
