Easy to customize, cross-platform capable, and very stable
The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills. When we come to the integration with the single sign-on facilities, that part is very challenging. In Power BI and other tools, it's very easy to integrate with active directory and single sign-on, and identity management is very easy in other business intelligence tools. However, when it comes to Knowage, it's a bit heavy, it's time-consuming sometimes, it's not very fast, and definitely not as fast as other business intelligence tools in terms of getting graphical reports. The solution could be cheaper.

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

"In terms of ROI, much better than any other solution when it offer full fledged features in open source, planned to have direct contact with SpagoBI for better support."
"The most valuable features to us are application implementation, development, and analysis."
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"It's very easy to get the historical reports you need based on the business requirements and this helps our executives for taking decisions."
"Being able to schedule necessary jobs needed for production jobs and programming run times"
"Customer Service: Excellent."
"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."
"SpagoBI makes delivering reports to our clients very easy."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise has positively impacted my work by making my analysis easier."
"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."
"One of the best features of Plotly Dash Enterprise is the simplicity of deploying changes."
"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 impact of Plotly Dash Enterprise on my organization has been very great."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise has positively impacted my organization because decision-making becomes easier."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise has transformed my projects by moving them from local scripts to secure production-grade applications that drive faster data-driven decisions."
"The best features Plotly Dash Enterprise offers is the clarity."
 

Cons

"We are not happy with the poor graphic user interface. It looks a bit old and sometimes it is not properly user friendly."
"There are additional features such as Data Integration, Data Visualization, MobileBI, Cloud BI, Data enrichment and massaging should be implemented in the next release."
"The dashboard components could be better. They could do a lot more."
"Yes, using Mobile and Desktop Editions, we would sometimes need to restart the service."
"Tomcat configuration was tricky in earlier versions."
"I faced difficulties when using the email feature and documentation was scant."
"As all software and especially the open-source ones have always something that can work better, in this case, SpagoBI is slightly difficult to implement."
"I encountered a lot of issues when I tried to integrate the map in order to realize Intelligent Location Dashboards."
"One area where Plotly Dash Enterprise can be improved is the learning curve for beginners."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise is stable but not one hundred percent stable; there are rare instances where it takes longer to load the environment, but these do not greatly hinder my work."
"Lastly, production pricing flexibility is essential, as current pricing models seem more geared towards large organizations, which may limit accessibility for smaller teams and startups."
"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 works well for most cases, but for some large data sets, it can be a bit laggy."
"Since we are feeding Plotly with a lot of data, I think there is a security gap."
"The main limitation was the learning curve during the setup and deployment."
"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."
 

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."
"I only use the free tier of the product."
"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."
