Margin Assurance Analyst at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
A stable open source suite for modern business analytics with a useful replication feature
It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products.

Interactive dashboards have transformed reporting and now speed up team decision making
One area where Plotly Dash Enterprise can be improved is the learning curve for beginners. It can take time to understand the callbacks and app structures. Debugging can sometimes be tricky, especially for complex apps. Improving documentation and providing more built-in templates or examples would make it easier for new users to get started. Another improvement could be around performance optimization in Plotly. For example, with a large dataset, a dashboard can sometimes become slow. Better built-in support for handling big data efficiently would help. Additionally, smoother integration with other data tools and cloud services would make it easier to fit into different tech stacks.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Being able to schedule necessary jobs needed for production jobs and programming run times"
"The most valuable features to us are application implementation, development, and analysis."
"I am satisfied with the product in general given what the company invested in it, which was just our time."
"Our customers really appreciate the self-service BI functionalities."
"Unified interface, a lot of tools for BI, easy configuration, standalone SDK."
"SpagoBI makes delivering reports to our clients very easy."
"Customer Service: Excellent."
"I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage."
"One of the best features of Plotly Dash Enterprise is the simplicity of deploying changes."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise positively impacts our organization as we have started projects completely with Plotly Dash Enterprise, implemented for the last four years, focusing on real-time data where we check the real-time data every ten seconds."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise helped me to visualize data better as the color schemas provided were very contrasting, and anyone new who saw the data could interpret it much quicker compared to any other platform."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise is amazing because it makes excellent dashboards."
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"I literally save about one month of development time using Plotly Dash Enterprise and around thirty percent of costs compared to other three-tier architectures."
"The best features that Plotly Dash Enterprise offers are that it is a great no-code solution if you want interactive visualizations without using the tools within Python or R."
"Using Plotly Dash Enterprise has helped us share insights faster across the team, as the dashboards became easily accessible, allowing stakeholders to view real-time data without depending on manual reports, which improved decision-making speed and reduced time spent on repetitive reporting tasks."
 

Cons

"The demands of some jobs would slow Spago and lock the site, preventing any other job from processing."
"We had stability issues."
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there."
"It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products."
"There are additional features such as Data Integration, Data Visualization, MobileBI, Cloud BI, Data enrichment and massaging should be implemented in the next release."
"We expected the community to be bigger than what it currently is."
"Tomcat configuration was tricky in earlier versions."
"For some of my colleagues, especially those coming from market research operations, the transition to Plotly Dash Enterprise needed more structured training because they heavily depended on Excel manual reporting and static PowerPoints before using Plotly Dash Enterprise."
"One area where Plotly Dash Enterprise can be improved is the learning curve for beginners."
"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"I believe that Plotly Dash Enterprise should improve the enterprise membership plan, which is restricted to some features such as AG Grid table and data table, particularly the nested feature that requires a paid membership."
"Since we are feeding Plotly with a lot of data, I think there is a security gap."
"One area for improvement would be to teach how Plotly should be used and what it can do, perhaps by providing content to understand Plotly."
"I sometimes find that the documentation is not comprehensive and more detailed documentation should be available for the benefit of other companies using it."
"The main improvement I can think of is that while creating charts, it gives you a certain format of how it could look."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Knowage is open-source, and an enterprise edition is also available."
"It allows the implementation of an effective reporting system using internal skills at a limited upfront cost."
"It is an open-source tool. My company hasn't explored Plotly's premium services yet, but I believe the prices could be on the premium side."
"I only use the free tier of the product."
