"The solution is simple to implement."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"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 best thing about this solution is that it is very user friendly. It is interactive in terms of visualizations. It is very eye-catching, and it attracts users. There are a lot of options to visualize the data in different drafts and views. I have used different visualization tools, and I found Power BI to be more efficient in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"The product is stable."
"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."
"There are some great automation elements in the product."
"The visualization and reporting are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The advantages of Microsoft Power BI stem from the fact that it is really easy to use. The drag and drop facilities provided by the product are good."
"We have found the product very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."
"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."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers. This is an area for improvement in the product. What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"Maybe they can enhance the UI a bit. Right now, it's very basic, I would say, compared to the MicroStrategy or Qlik."
"The smart phone application could be improved, along with better graphics and faster updating."
"There are some problems with the functionality of this solution. The dashboard is not very user friendly and is quite complicated."
"Most clients have MacBooks. Therefore, they use Tableau as Power BI Desktop is not available for the MacBook right now."
"My data is restricted to my DB and I'm not sure how this would handle an extremely large dataset."
"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."
"Things can slow down if you create too many pages."
"The solution could improve by providing more free visuals. A lot of them are very nice but you have to purchase them."
