• 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.

• Limited customization options for report/dashboards design. You are kind of locked in to their chart color options, placement of certain element (i.e. chart legend), etc.
• No intuitive way to handle fiscal year calendars. A custom solution needs to be built in order to handle variable fiscal calendars.
• Learning MAQL programming language is necessary to be able to use the product meaningfully.
