We performed a comparison between Board and Plotly based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"We can build reports super fast."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"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."
