"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"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."
"It is fine for basic reporting."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"Planning Analytics' best features include automatic updates and slicing."
"IBM Planning Analytics is easy to use and deploy. It is quick to develop. The calculation machine is also very fast."
"The product's stability is good."
"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"
"It's a very stable, robust product."
"Navigating through the data to make analysis is really quick."
"All the different platforms are well integrated."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"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."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"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 should support integration with Python or R."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"The local authentication part is difficult to manage in the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Extracting data is a little slow."
"It is a bit expensive, but it does the job."
"The dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement."
"The tool should include features for prediction. It can also improve the scalability."
"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."
"It would have been better if the solution was not just a tool kit."
"Planning Analytics could be improved by adding automation features."
