Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"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."
"A valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is that it's a cloud-native service provided by AWS. As all platforms within my company run on AWS, that's the leverage of Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight is also easy to use, and I find the native connectors from AWS valuable as well."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."

"It's a very stable, robust product."
"The product's stability is good."
"All the different platforms are well integrated."
"Navigating through the data to make analysis is really quick."
"Planning Analytics' best features include automatic updates and slicing."
"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."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"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 number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."

"Extracting data is a little slow."
"Planning Analytics could be improved by adding automation features."
"The dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement."
"The new frontend Planning Analytics Workspace is not very good, it could be improved. I like the Planning Analytics functionality but it would be helpful if it could be more customizable. You can create a prediction and receive information but you cannot do feature engineering regarding the predictive models. If this was added it would be helpful."
"The tool's transport layer could be improved when promoting development between environments."
"The local authentication part is difficult to manage in the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
