We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like that with Amazon QuickSight, you don't need to install an app to use its services. With other BI tools, you need to install the app, so Amazon QuickSight is better for me in this area.""It has a lot of valuable features, but the most important aspect is the affordable cost. This solution costs much less in comparison to the competitors like Qlik Sense, Power BI, and Tableau.""It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis.""Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports.""It is fine for basic reporting.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage.""Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."

"The company dashboard is useful because we could share it via a link as a reminder for everyone to check it weekly. We observed the progress of our portfolio from last week to the current week, allowing us to compare revenues.""The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources.""This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves.""I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts.""The ability to design complex data models and equations.""Data Studio integrates seamlessly with other Google products, and we can use it with other APIs if we like.""I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility.""The solution is free so that is a good feature."

Cons
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production.""An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes.""One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards.""There should be better connectors for different data sets.""It should support integration with Python or R.""Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources.""You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire.""The solution must be more user-friendly."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base."
