Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."

"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"The solution is simple to implement."
"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."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"The solution is scalable."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."

This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"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 is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
