Amazon QuickSight vs JReport

Likelihood to Recommend

Amazon QuickSight is well suited in any organization that is making business decisions based on performance data whether it be Marketing, Sales, Call Center, etc. It is a great tool especially for mature organizations that have a lot of data to work with. Amazon QuickSight may be not as well suited for newer organizations that are just beginning to drive data/performance metrics. The data available becomes more and more valuable to more that you have.

JReport is well suited to enterprise-wide deployment such as we deliver in our data warehouse solution JOHO OneSource(TM). It provides for a seamless end-user experience to enterprise-wide corporate data, maintain user-level security regardless of location or device used. Reporting elements are always "business-friendly", reducing confusion for the less sophisticated information consumer. Since JReport is highly scalable, it is hard to imagine a deployment where it would not be well suited. The only case I can think of is possibly one where there are limited or no reporting staff onsite to create report elements.

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.

Alternatives Considered

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

When ePerformax went through the motions of determining which software to choose, we did proof of concepts with multiple applications. None were able to compare with JReport with flexibility and implementation time. We are constantly finding ways to utilize JReport
