"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."

"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 notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"The solution is simple to implement."
"The product's stability is good."
"The most valuable features of IBM Planning Analytics for streamlining planning processes include a unified database where all data are centralized."
"IBM Planning Analytics is easy to use and deploy. It is quick to develop. The calculation machine is also very fast."
"All the different platforms are well integrated."
"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"
"The most valuable feature is that it is able to slice and dice the data."
"The tool is flexible."
"It's a very stable, robust product."
"One area is that integrating data from different sources into QuickSight can be a bit tricky, especially with Amazon Connect. To get data flowing, you need to use two additional services and configure them correctly."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"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 would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"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 could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"It's highly competitive right now, and all the vendors are in a race to put out new versions with additional features. IBM comes out with new versions too often, and it has an impact on quality."
"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."
"Extracting data is a little slow."
"The tool's transport layer could be improved when promoting development between environments."
"Planning Analytics could be improved by adding automation features."
"The tool should include features for prediction. It can also improve the scalability."
