We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""A valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is that it's a cloud-native service provided by AWS. As all platforms within my company run on AWS, that's the leverage of Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight is also easy to use, and I find the native connectors from AWS valuable as well.""It helped the managers to visualize the data activities.""The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs.""The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use.""The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards.""It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis.""From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."

"We can easily do our own customizations.""The embedding feature is great.""I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage.""The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."

Cons
"The solution must be more user-friendly.""The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView.""The product has some storage and SPICE data issues.""It should support integration with Python or R.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""It is a simple tool with limited features. Its visualization set is very limited, and it also has limited functionality. An intelligence tool should not be only for creating reports. Currently, we have to do all computational and mathematical operations outside. We should be able to do such operations in an intelligence tool like this. As an intelligence tool, it should support dynamic refresh. QuickSight currently supports the refresh at a minimum of one hour, and it is not suitable for dynamic dashboards that require frequent refreshes.""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."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills.""The dashboard components could be better.""It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products.""Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there."

    Top Answer:My company had a corporate discount and other arrangements, so I'm not familiar with the standard pricing.
