Usability
AmazonQuick is a powerful tool for my organization
Pros
- Amazon QuickSight is a really easy program to learn how to use.
- Amazon QuickSight allows our team to customize the data using the various data sets, which makes the available reports incredibly powerful to our organization.
- Our organization has the ability continually adjust our reports and build new reports as business needs change.
- Even though our organization has different reports built for different departments, each department can still access and understand reports from across the company.
Cons
- One of the primary challenges I've had with Amazon QuickSight so far is that some of the reports I want to build use data from different data sets. Instead of being able to put all of the information I want to see into one report.
- Some of our Amazon QuickSight reports only update every 24 hours. It would be great to see that data in real-time.
- I would remove the various time zones from Amazon QuickSight and only use the time zone we are in.

AWS QuickSight Review
Pros

- Cost friendly since users are charged only for basis of usage
Cons
- Still limited options for different type of graphs/charts. If possible with extension or API to customize the visualization would be better
- Mainly supports the rendering for large screen device/PC/laptop, not auto layout properly in small mobile device
