We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions.""The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good.""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.""Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage.""From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics.""The solution is simple to implement.""The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available.""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.""Amazon QuickSight's visualization could be improved.""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.""I just want a few more features to be added.""You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire.""It should support integration with Python or R."
