Overall Satisfaction with Amazon QuickSight

It is being used as a dashboard to visualize telemetry data from IoT assets as well as threshold crossing for some of the business rules and ML model.
  • Easily to set up for data sources, already supports quite a few of AWS and non-AWS data sources
  • Cost friendly since users are charged only for basis of usage
  • 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
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 perspective, it had a low learning curve for the engineering team to incorporate into our product.
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.
