Comparison Results: Microsoft BI is the clear winner in this comparison. It has excellent customer support, is scalable, reliable, and has a good user interface. In general, it is a more mature solution than Amazon QuickSight.

"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"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."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"The solution is simple to implement."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."
"We have found that the reporting and publishing are great."
"It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."
"The product is intuitive and user-friendly."
"What I like most is that I can do everything in Power BI that I can do in Excel."
"It's easy to create reports and it's easy to download the data from the corresponding report."
"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."
"The stability is good."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"Compared to Power BI, I felt QuickSight lacks some features, like delayed drill-downs. Drill-downs were the main area where we found QuickSight lacking."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"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."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"Microsoft BI could improve by having better collaboration between developers working on the same dashboard. The developer platform is all done on a single laptop and it's difficult to have the same project files work. Two developers have to go back and forth. You have to have the project file on one developer's laptop making it difficult to co-develop."
"We would like improvements made to the paginated reports so that it produces quality similarly to SSRS."
"The cost of the solution can get high."
"Microsoft BI can improve some of the visual level filters or visual functionality, that are available in other BI tools, such as Tableau or Qlik Sense."

"I would like to see a more user-friendly interface with Microsoft BI."
