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

"The embedding feature is great."
"Being able to schedule necessary jobs needed for production jobs and programming run times"
"The most valuable feature of SpagoBI is that it is open source and 100% free without limits."
"Customer Service: Excellent."
"It improves sales and products, which motivates employees."
"It's very easy to get the historical reports you need based on the business requirements and this helps our executives for taking decisions."
"It's a great product. It has a lot more features than many other BI tools. You can get the most out of machine learning, the best connectivity to Python, and it cuts across enterprise sections."
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise significantly reduces engineering costs by seventy percent, eliminates the front-end JavaScript rewrite phase, and allows us to build, design, and deploy production-grade applications independently in Python."
"I have been using it to turn raw data into interactive, presentation-ready visuals with no extra effort, making exploratory data analysis faster and stakeholder communication far more effective."
"I advise enterprises that want to move to it that it is a very good option, reliable, and secure."
"Development and deployment time typically shows a 50 to 80% faster time to production, and there is also a 60 to 90% reduction in repetitive reporting work because organizations have self-serve dashboards and scheduled reports where one internal app often replaces hours of weekly manual work."
"Since using Plotly Dash Enterprise, it has improved my decision-making and helped me understand which regions of Brazil my customers are purchasing my books from."
"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."
"Instead of creating multiple dashboards, we can create a single dashboard with all kinds of charts, so I would say it improves the productivity and conceptual understanding of the dataset."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise helps us achieve a much more interactive and vivid form of visualization for our organization, which helps us drive better results and analytics."
 

Cons

"The demands of some jobs would slow Spago and lock the site, preventing any other job from processing."
"We are not happy with the poor graphic user interface. It looks a bit old and sometimes it is not properly user friendly."
"Unfortunately, many interesting features do not work when you are using a custom database for storing the metadata."
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"The support is very meager: We had to break our heads to figure out everything"
"We had stability issues."
"I encountered a lot of issues when I tried to integrate the map in order to realize Intelligent Location Dashboards."
"Yes, using Mobile and Desktop Editions, we would sometimes need to restart the service."
"I faced problems where legends and axis labels tend to overlap often, especially with large datasets or longer label names, which looks very messy."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise can be improved by enhancing the documentation and providing examples about how to use it and templates that can be used."
"It could have developed a more gradual learning curve."
"The main improvement I can think of is that while creating charts, it gives you a certain format of how it could look."
"Adding documentation AI to Plotly Dash Enterprise would be more useful than trying to figure it out through certain AI, LLM, or chatbots for certain functions that I would prefer to use in custom cases."
"The main limitation was the learning curve during the setup and deployment."
"To improve Plotly Dash Enterprise, I suggest that cross-filtering capabilities need significant improvement along with file uploads and downloading data as a CSV or in any other requested format, as we seek more features aligned with user requests."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise is pretty good, but it could benefit from more marketing so that more people are aware of it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It allows the implementation of an effective reporting system using internal skills at a limited upfront cost."
"Knowage is open-source, and an enterprise edition is also available."
"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."
