"The tool is flexible."
"All the different platforms are well integrated."
"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."

"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"The tool should include features for prediction. It can also improve the scalability."
