Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface.""The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services.""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 is very quick to turn around and integrate.""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.""The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs.""Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."

"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget.""The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control.""It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve.""All the reports are prepared automatically.""It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great.""The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation.""The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it.""By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."

Cons
"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.""The solution must be more user-friendly.""Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources.""It should support integration with Python or R.""One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards.""The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI.""They could provide more options for graphics and other features."

"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model.""The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful.""It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive.""​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD.""We would like to see better logging in the procedural world.""​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​""One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals.""Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
