What are business intelligence tools, and which solutions have you used in the past?

Remember to describe the features and functions of any custom solutions you mention within your response. Interviewers who ask this question are likely to be familiar with popular vendor developed business intelligence solutions, but they may struggle to fully understand the impact of your work if you are unable to describe custom built solutions properly.

"Business intelligence tools are solutions that help businesses analyze large data sets and identify trends for use strategically or tactically. Some BI tools are more complex than others, but many can be leveraged by users who do not have a professional background in analytics once the initial setup is complete.

I have worked with SAP Business Objects, SAP Business Intelligence, Tableau, and Microsoft Power BI. I did some research about the AWS business intelligence solutions currently available. It is my understanding that there is an AWS developed solution as well as several partner provided solutions. I look forward to working with the BI tools available here at Amazon if offered the open position."
