Due to the fact that our platform infrastructure is mainly based on AWS, it was seamless and effortless for integration. Our second consideration is the operating cost in which QuickSight is reasonably low compared to other tools we had evaluated. From a development …

QuickSight is best suited to augment your other BI solutions, not as a primary tool. It still very immature when you compare it to products like Tableau, Qlik, Microsoft Power BI and others. However, it is very easy to get connected to data sources and a good way to …

All of the other reporting platforms my organization has used previously were within our CRM and not a standalone program. In that we were very limited in being able to slice and dice the data the way that we wanted to.

In our case, we are storing our large amount of data in the cloud so using QuickSight adds up to the performance of the reporting. We are using it as a secondary reporting tool so that a business user can generate their own report. We are using Tableau as our primary reporting …

They have minor similarities, so they are not easily comparable. Keen is one of a kind and does not have a great alternative. It just needs a little work and developers will be addicted to it.

Chose Keen IO
Keen IO is powerful and comparable to many of these programs. I have personally found the Google alternatives best for my company because they are much more user-friendly and have a familiar interface for most users. Pendo.io, Optimizely, and Segment are great as well but …

Overall I think Keen IO is generally easier to use and more friendly towards new or novice users than other platforms. If you are just looking for a quick and easy solution, Keen IO might be the way to go. The cost of obtaining the software is a con when compared to some other …

Likelihood to Recommend
I'm likely to recommend it because it would become so native if other cloud services are based on AWS infrastructure, like our current setup. It is very seamlessly integrated with other services to feed in data for the visualization. In addition, supporting a reasonably large number of users concurrently is not an issue and should be able to scale horizontally as needed.

Keen IO is well suited for a young company with employees who are quick learners. It may still take some time to get the hang of using the program, but it will be a much speedier and more efficient endeavor if the employees are already on top of that. It is not as appropriate for older employees because they are likely already used to other programs and it will be a big jump for them. The data representations can be excellent if you just have some time to fiddle with the settings.

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.

  • Customer service.
  • Slightly overpriced.
  • Customer service does not seem to understand every aspect well enough to effectively help.

Usability
It is easy to use and set up no need to put in so much effort. Once build, the dashboard can be used with multiple clients with the same domain. It provides multiple connectivity options which makes it a versatile option for reporting.
