"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"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."
"Microsoft B's beneficial features are that it is a Microsoft product and it is well known by the staff here in the company. It suited the available skills."
"The solution is not that difficult to install, although this will vary with the experience of the person responsible for its installation."
"The solution has a good toggling feature."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"PowerBi is used to import our production data and generate dashboards, then integrates other Excel sheets to provide managers dashboards. This helps them get insights to make better OEE improvement decisions, mainly where to focus resources. We became able to see indicators from any time frame (day, week, month, or year), then could make better decisions."
"The drill-down capabilities and automatic charts are the best ones. The visualization is also very good. In terms of visualization, no competing product, such as IBM Cognos or any other product, has the same capabilities."
"It works well with SSAS, which we use to generate all different kinds of trending and analytics reports. Sometimes we use Power Query and DAX to build some aggregations on the Power BI side as well."
"There are some great automation elements in the product."
"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."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"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."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."
"It seems that the solution could use more analytics to help users draw more contextual business insights. Right now, you need other solutions for that."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"The initial setup is a little bit technical."
"If you need data in real-time, it's not an ideal solution."
"I think that there should be visuals for financial reporting videos. It should just be a plug and play because there is a lot of coding that goes into it with different clients."
"Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution."
"BI is scalable, but there are some problems with limited online storage."
