Room For Improvement

Plotly Dash Enterprise could improve with easier learning, modern UI components, optimized performance, and enhanced documentation plus debugging.
TIBCO Spotfire's UI is outdated, lacks customization, struggles with data handling, and users seek better integration and training.
A more guided user interface and low-code features would help with onboarding for beginners and non-technical users, making the platform more accessible.
Azure Data Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
There should be a focus on mobile responsiveness and shifting from standard CSS to Dash Mantine Components and Dash Bootstrap while utilizing grid systems for large data bottlenecks.

I wish for features such as auto detection of data and auto analysis to be included.
Student at a university with 51-200 employees
TIBCO Spotfire and ClickView need improvement in scheduling, which is critical yet lacking in quality.
Business Enabler at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
It could be very useful if the coding part of using the platform could be more user-friendly in terms of visual capability.
Production Engineer at Parex Resources Inc
The usage and flexibility need to be better compared to other analytical tools.

Mohamed Raiyan - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Consultant at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Unified data apps have cut costs and saved time while UI flexibility still needs improvement
Plotly Dash Enterprise helps me pull everything together better than other tools, particularly from a cost-cutting perspective. If I build it using React or Angular, I need separate front-end web apps, middleware web apps, and a dedicated back-end SQL database, but with Plotly Dash Enterprise, I can host both my middleware API integration and front-end HTML and CSS parts directly. In my workflow, Plotly plays a good role because it is easily scalable and does not require additional HTML, CSS, or API knowledge. Instead of needing separate API knowledge, I can use the callback feature available in Plotly Dash Enterprise, making it easy to handle for someone who knows Python. The best features Plotly Dash Enterprise offers include the seamless integration of HTML and CSS libraries without needing to pull additional libraries and the ability to incorporate my front-end and middleware in one place, eliminating the need for separate environments. The feature that makes the biggest difference for me is having everything in one environment. Building a three-tier architecture in React requires reliance on a middleware API, but with Plotly Dash Enterprise, I can manage my middleware setup and API triggers directly, significantly reducing my development time from one hour to just ten minutes. I also incorporate row-level security in Plotly Dash Enterprise, which makes it easy to restrict tool access only to authorized users. The deployment process is also considerably easier than with other three-tier setups. Plotly Dash Enterprise positively impacts my organization by providing cost savings and improved collaboration. For three-tier architecture, I need to pay for separate web apps and databases, but here I only pay for one web app, reducing costs significantly. 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 app is also faster as APIs are integrated directly into one app, improving interaction with the API server.
Jacobo Ortiz Avila - PeerSpot reviewer
Production Engineer at Parex Resources Inc
Has improved data handling and customization but requires more intuitive visual design for workflows
It was kind of tough to have the visualizations with HTML, or you have to create your own page. But it was working great with buttons and every page updated pretty fast with the server capability, and it was handling a big amount of data, maybe five years of data. It was performing quite well, taking maybe three minutes to update the whole model. It has been good, but most recently, they changed the commercial methodology to get the license. Our política in the company is to hire or get licenses year by year, but most recently, TIBCO Spotfire asked us to have a three-year license term. That made things a little bit tougher for the commercial relationship. Maybe with all these automation processes that you have, those could be more visually friendly. N8N is a good example where you could connect some platforms, and you don't have to code strictly, but you could visually create an algorithm. That capability of clicking and dragging some boxes of code could actually facilitate how people create their own algorithms. It could be very useful if the coding part of using the platform could be more user-friendly in terms of visual capability.
