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.

Operations Analyst at a non-profit with 51-200 employees
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 concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"Customer Service: Excellent."
"Nice features available in SpagoBI compared with other open-source BI are Auditing, Collaborative BI, Query By Example, and User Profiling."
"The most valuable features to us are application implementation, development, and analysis."
"Instead of just relying on emails to disperse our reports, having a central server to do this for us has helped our organization and has pushed us into a better place."
"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."
"It improves sales and products, which motivates employees."
"SpagoBI makes delivering reports to our clients very easy."
"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."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise has positively impacted my organization because the easy Pandas integration meant less time on data preparation and faster chart generation."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise has made the creation of financial models and dashboards very handy and very easy for my organization, as I used to work on Power BI and Tableau, which used to take some time."
"Time saved is what we have seen as a return on investment with Plotly Dash Enterprise, as the mean time to resolve and the mean time to respond both went down, saving approximately 10 to 12 minutes per major incident."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by enabling a small team of developers to deploy numerous dashboards with ease."
"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 has positively impacted my work by making my analysis easier."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise has positively impacted my organization because decision-making becomes easier."
 

Cons

"I encountered a lot of issues when I tried to integrate the map in order to realize Intelligent Location Dashboards."
"The dashboard components could be better. They could do a lot more."
"We expected the community to be bigger than what it currently is."
"There are additional features such as Data Integration, Data Visualization, MobileBI, Cloud BI, Data enrichment and massaging should be implemented in the next release."
"I faced difficulties when using the email feature and documentation was scant."
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"Many things need to be improved, most of all robustness."
"Yes, using Mobile and Desktop Editions, we would sometimes need to restart the service."
"Documentation is something that I feel can be improved for Plotly Dash Enterprise, as it is never finished and could be polished a little bit further."
"I would like to discuss improvements needed for Plotly Dash Enterprise, specifically regarding licensing and documentation that I wish were different."
"The main improvement I can think of is that while creating charts, it gives you a certain format of how it could look."
"Since we are feeding Plotly with a lot of data, I think there is a security gap."
"The out-of-the-box UI components currently feel basic and limited compared to modern design components, and styling often requires extra effort."
"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."
"While Plotly Dash Enterprise is powerful, its default look can sometimes feel more academic or technical than the sleek, modern UI of dedicated BI tools."
"It could have developed a more gradual learning curve."
 

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."
