Overview
The ScaiPlatform is a free, modern business intelligence and centralized reporting web platform for Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS (Aurora, MySQL, SqlServer, PostgreSQL, etc). It combines the power of real-time data analytics, reporting, and SQL database management functionality in one platform.
Business intelligence Beautiful graphs (scatter, line, point, bar charts, etc.) and dashboards can be created and shared with other Scai users. With a couple of clicks, users can easily explore or perform multi-dimensional data analysis to compare between different KPIs or segments.
ScaiPlatform is a real-time business intelligence tool, making it possible to show the most recent data in the dashboards, tables and views. Moreover, it does not add any performance overhead to your database system, because it generates light-weight SQL code.
Centralized reporting system Technical and non-technical users can create their own reports (pivots, aggregates, filters, joining data sets, etc.) or insert, delete, edit records through the graphical interface. Thus, it is a versatile data entry, cleansing and reporting solution. Moreover, spreadsheet data files can be imported into/exported from your Amazon Redshift, RDS or any supported SQL database without writing any SQL-specific code. Scai will take care of it for you.

Great product, great support
I usually do not give reviews, but the ScaiPlatform and ScaiData's team have been great. The tool is easy to get started with and free. It took me 5 minutes. If you search for a dashboard tool and UI for your db, look no more. The support person is helpful and knowledgeable, if you have questions.
Great customer service, easy platform
We were looking for an alternative to PowerBI since it doesn't like to play well with MySQL in RDS, and we found this product. I was having issues linking the platform to my EC2 instance, and in just two email exchanges with a very friendly customer service person, we got it sorted out. Very easy to use for someone who's familiar with BI already, with some great features like joining tables while making a graph so you don't have to write the queries in the back end to do so. Thanks Scai!
Really great, easy to use BI tool
I was looking for a tool to visualize membership data in a quick and easy to use manner. I picked up Scai after browsing through the number of BI offerings on the aws marketplace. The features it offered were exactly what i needed and after installing it ( very easy ), it was very easy to start using. I just set it to be in the same VPC as my RDS instance and was able to connect almost immediately to RDS running Aurora mysql 5.6 db. Creating your first dashboard took a little getting used to (maybe about 30 minutes of playing around with it) but its eventually very intuitive and simple to visualize your data and make stuff look good. The Graph controls are somewhat lacking but it has all the basics there. I especially like the sql console which i can just run queries against and then visualize on a dashboard via what Scai calls a View.
Overall a great BI product, would recommend to anyone wanting a simple and easy way to visualize their data.
