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.

Embedded analytics has unified diverse data sources and supports real-time operational decisions
I find Power BI Embedded Analytics to be a fairly good reporting tool and dashboarding tool. The color palette and everything about it is good. It would be beneficial to have reporting on top of a data warehouse, a lake house, or directly on an Excel-based solution. If Power BI can come as a full stack similar to SAP Analytics Cloud, it can embed with Azure very quickly. However, the full suite provided by SAP, starting from ERP through reporting, is somewhat loosely coupled, which can be helpful for some clients. Overall, Power BI is a very good tool for reporting. Embedded analytics may lack some features from the modeling perspective, such as dimension modeling, and there are multiple factors that lead us to prefer analytics on top of the warehouse rather than going for embedded analytics.

"We have seen a clear return on investment with Plotly Dash Enterprise, as the biggest gains have come from reduced time spent on manual reporting and faster delivery of dashboards."

Cons

"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 would like to discuss improvements needed for Plotly Dash Enterprise, specifically regarding licensing and documentation that I wish were different."
"We need to use fewer processes because we have a great opportunity to improve the dynamic graphics as they use a lot of processors and computer clusters, which over the years become very expensive for the business."
"I have been considering improvements for Plotly Dash Enterprise, particularly regarding the native integration for heavy engineering file formats."
"I would say scalability of Plotly Dash Enterprise is low when I used it; it was not easy to adapt to different data volumes or needs."
"The main limitation was the learning curve during the setup and deployment."
"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."
"The out-of-the-box UI components currently feel basic and limited compared to modern design components, and styling often requires extra effort."
"Embedded analytics may lack some features from the modeling perspective, such as dimension modeling, and there are multiple factors that lead us to prefer analytics on top of the warehouse rather than going for embedded analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
