Overview of QuickSight

The Amazon web services team has been in the forefront of providing real solutions that are designed for massive scale; their S3 storage is the most popular cloud storage service and it is used by companies like Netflix, Nasdaq, Airbnb, and Redfin to name just a few. QuickSight is a new cloud BI service specifically designed to address the need for every day analytics and reporting. QuickSight allows enterprises to get started in minutes, access data from multiple sources, build interactive visuals, get answers fast, and tell a story with data.

While QuickSight has competitors, I believe it is poised to become the leader in cloud powered BI due to the deep connectivity to AWS services, next generation distributed architecture, with an in-memory caching layer on the worlds most scalable infrastructure. Additionally, AWS has made it extremely affordable that competitors will find it hard to match. Let's review in detail how QuickSight differs from other BI tools.
