Amazon QuickSight
Integrating Business Intelligence on a massive scale
Amazon QuickSight is a tool that delivers integrated business intelligence (BI) at hyper-scale to fuel data-driven organisations. Users can explore state-of-the-art interactive dashboards, gain insight into their applications, receive formatted, scheduled reports, and make informed decisions using Machine Learning. With QuickSight, you can put knowledge into action faster and with greater efficiency.
QuickSight is a server-based solution that automatically scales to tens of thousands of users without the need to configure or manage any in-house servers. QuickSight’s compute engine, SPICE, provides consistently fast response times for end users and analysts, eliminating the need to scale databases for large workloads. The SPICE engine automatically replicates data, allowing multiple users to run analytics on different AWS data simultaneously.
QuickSight offers two payment options – the Standard Edition, ideal for individual users, with a monthly fee per author, and the Enterprise Edition, aimed at corporate users, where reader and author payments are billed separately.
