We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""The product is easy to learn.""One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created.""The solution is simple to implement.""Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports.""The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs.""From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."

More Amazon QuickSight Pros →

Cons
"Compared to Power BI, I felt QuickSight lacks some features, like delayed drill-downs. Drill-downs were the main area where we found QuickSight lacking.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""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.""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.""I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it.""One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards.""The solution must be more user-friendly.""The product has some storage and SPICE data issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
