We used Amazon QuickSight as a database platform. It helped the managers to visualize the data activities. I rate its integration capabilities with existing data sources and ecosystems an eight out of ten. Overall, I rate it a six out of ten.

We are currently proposing Amazon QuickSight to some of our customers primarily because of the Generative BI capabilities built into it. Amazon QuickSight does not need a lot of maintenance because it's a service managed completely by AWS. Amazon QuickSight has evolved a lot in recent years, especially because of generative AI capabilities. It is evolving and is a go-to solution for customers looking for generative AI capabilities and building the solution on AWS. Overall, I rate Amazon QuickSight a seven out of ten.

A minimal amount of maintenance is required for Amazon QuickSight. I rate the overall product a six and a half to seven out of ten.

I wouldn't strongly recommend Amazon QuickSight to other users. If they have the budget, it is better to explore other BI tools. However, if a company is looking to cut costs and is already using AWS for its infrastructure, then QuickSight might be a viable option. Overall, I would rate Amazon QuickSight at a six out of ten. While it has room for improvement, the fact that they are continuously adding new features every month is promising, so the rating might increase in the future.

It’s a completely cloud-based system. I am using the cloud link provided by my organization. I directly access the tool through the URL. It is a good tool to learn. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

If a client is already using a competitor solution like Qlik Sense, then on most occasions, they wouldn't want to migrate to Amazon QuickSight. I personally believe that this solution is going to blow up the market very soon. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I'm an end-user. I use the product in my company. I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. That said, everything is cloud-based and therefore it is likely it is the latest version. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

You can use it with confidence and you can trust in a product that is evolving very fast. It is better than Tableau, which is another leader in the market. Amazon QuickSight is easy to use and cost-effective. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Amazon QuickSight an eight.

The only BI tool I have experience with is Amazon QuickSight. I'm using the student version of the tool. I didn't work with a significant amount of data, so at the moment, I won't be able to advise new users of Amazon QuickSight. My rating for Amazon QuickSight is six out of ten. I'm a user of Amazon QuickSight.

We're a customer and end-user. One big lesson that I have learned is that first, you identify what kind of reporting you want to do. Then, just go and check whether that kind of reporting is already available in QuickSight or not. If yes, then you have to think about the cost. It's pretty much in your face, and you can precalculate it without any issue, and then you have to just play around with a couple of average users. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I'm an enterprise architect, and I work for a service desk company, so within the company, people use many other tools for day-to-day activities, such as tools for data ignitions, data orchestrations, data migration, big data, platform management, etc. Currently, I'm using Amazon QuickSight for semantic layers. There's no specific version for the solution because it's cloud-based and it's managed by Amazon. My advice, if you're looking to implement Amazon QuickSight, is that if your reporting is too slow and you're using an AWS platform, I'd recommend Amazon QuickSight. If you're reporting with multiple data sources coming from different clouds, then you should go with a different tool. My rating for Amazon QuickSight depends on the data sources I have, the number of reports I'm going to build, the number of users that require reporting, and the cost. For my current environment, Amazon QuickSight is the best, though it won't be the best for everybody. I'm rating it based on my requirements, and because it meets my requirements, so my rating for it is nine out of ten. It's the perfect solution for my company currently. My company has a partnership with Amazon.

My advice to others is that there are many good solutions but it depends on your use case. If you are building something for C-level employees, use Tableau or another solution. If you want to do data analysis on Amazon, use QuickSite. And if you want to build production-ready software use Javascript. These BI solutions are built with some thought in mind, they're good at what they do, but they don't solve all the problems. The features I need, they cannot provide me because they're not built like that. I rate Amazon QuickSight a six out of ten.

I'm very excited about their product. We were using others, other things for visualization analytics, however, within the AWS stack, it's actually proving to be pretty capable. It was a whole AWS stack that we're shaping out. Given our partnership with Amazon, they've been pushing a lot of different services and products at us. But the QuickSight was something that was remarkably quick to stand out and recreate some use cases within, for example, Power BI. So we have found that to allow for a really rapid, quickly produced prototype. I would recommend QuickSight as, if you were a citizen developer, it's very approachable. Learning something like TIBCO or Power BI is a bigger learning curve. What I do like about QuickSight, is that it gives a relative beginner the ability to really start seeing results quickly. I don't think it's a competitor yet for some of the more sophisticated tools. However, if a developer or developer's client was relatively unsophisticated, it's a very smooth and quick place to start. I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten simply due to the fact that, in its class, it does well, however, in comparison to some other tools, it's not as robust.

It is a simple intelligence tool. It is quite simple as compared to other advanced intelligence available in the market. If you are working on real-time applications, such as Robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT), and want dynamic dashboards with frequent refreshes, then QuickSight is not a suitable option. I would rate Amazon QuickSight a five out of ten based on my experience with other products.

I would advise others to have quality developers and ensure that the security patches had been in place and be mindful of that moving forward so that if there are any security issues, you can call it out before the client calls it out. I would rate Amazon QuickSight a five out of ten.

I am planning to use this solution in the future. I am going to use it by recommending it to my clients where I can suggest that they can explore Amazon QuckSight as one of their options for business intelligence reporting. If the customer is satisfied with the pricing and other features compared to other products such as Tableau or Power BI, then I would go ahead and start analyzing. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.
