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.""One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created.""Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage.""The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services.""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 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 product is easy to learn.""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."

More Amazon QuickSight Pros →

"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control.""I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code.""All the reports are prepared automatically.""The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background.""We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance.""The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it.""Where it used to take me three days at the beginning of the year to create the new financial statement, now it is a matter of minutes because all the data is in the system.""It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."

Cons
"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.""The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI.""The product has some storage and SPICE data issues.""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.""It's not ideal for reports that are more complex.""There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations.""There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."

More Amazon QuickSight Cons →

"​My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. ​""We would like to see better logging in the procedural world.""It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use.""We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model.""We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability.""​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​""The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used.""If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets​, I would like that going forward."
