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.
