"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The product is easy to learn."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The solution is simple to implement."

"The most valuable features of IBM Planning Analytics for streamlining planning processes include a unified database where all data are centralized."

"IBM Planning Analytics is easy to use and deploy. It is quick to develop. The calculation machine is also very fast."
"It's a very stable, robust product."
"The ease of use is valuable. The fact that it's plugged into Excel spreadsheets is also valuable. It provides additional functionality where you can slice and dice the information in a way that you can't do with spreadsheets"
"A lot of the platform is in-memory, so Planning Analytics can run calculations quite fast. It also offers several user interfaces. And in the newest version of Planning Analytics, there is a new one called the Planning Analytics Workspace. Maybe it could be useful for the business side."
"The tool is flexible."
"Navigating through the data to make analysis is really quick."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"It can be made more user-friendly as some users might find this solution hard to implement. Qlik Sense, for example, is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"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 dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement."
"Planning Analytics could be improved by adding automation features."
"The tool should include features for prediction. It can also improve the scalability."
"The local authentication part is difficult to manage in the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It would have been better if the solution was not just a tool kit."
"It is a bit expensive, but it does the job."
"It's highly competitive right now, and all the vendors are in a race to put out new versions with additional features. IBM comes out with new versions too often, and it has an impact on quality."
"Adding predefined templates could be beneficial."
