Amazon Forecast is well suited when you are a company that's looking for a simple and effective solution in terms of understanding and predicting your resources planning in the AWS. However, it's also good to know that the cost that is incurred is higher and not suited for anything other than the AWS solutions integrations.

Amazon Quicksight is a truly cloud-based solution so it works perfectly fine and saves a lot of expense in terms of hardware and maintenance. We can maintain it by ourselves by giving commands on UI. If you have connectivity issues then it can cause headaches because it's a cloud platform and it's a bit costly as compared to other services

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
