"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"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."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very good product, stable, and has good technical capabilities."
"BusinessObjects can handle a lot of usage on the front end, and many users can view these reports. It's a relatively stable and secure tool."
"The reporting features the solution offers are excellent."
"The feature that allows pivot users to create the report dashboards and run them when they want with a lot of flexibility with the drill-downs is very useful. The drill-down features are very good because, in other solutions, such as Excel, you have to create separate pivot tables and a lot of other operations to do drill-downs. SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform tool does the drill-downs automatically. Overall the solution is user-friendly and has a lot of drag and drop features."

"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"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."
"Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."
"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."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"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."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"There is still a lot to be done on the mobile side to make Web Intelligence truly seamless between the desktop and mobile versions and I would like to see SAP pay a lot more attention to this."
"When we implemented BusinessObjects, the setup was straightforward. After SAP bought BusinessObjects, it gradually became more and more stepwise. There are too many steps, and they take too much time."
"Over the years, the product tends to rename and rebrand itself and change its direction. This is a deficit of the solution."
"The user interface should be easier to use and navigate."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is an outdated solution that is missing many features."
"The performance could be improved, like when we extract a large amount of data."
"More thorough testing of Service Packs before release."
"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
