Senior Data Engineer at a transportation company with 501-1,000 employees
Python dashboards have transformed employment data into interactive insights for better decisions
The main improvement I can think of is that while creating charts, it gives you a certain format of how it could look. If you want to create something extra and go more vivid and creative with how the actual chart would look, it allows for that option but could be improved to be more artistic or aesthetically pleasing. This sort of format is missing, and I think it would be beneficial to the analytics team if it can be more interactive, with the capability of D3.js, and give us more control over how our actual dashboard would look to achieve a more aesthetic appearance. The strict format of how you can shape those charts and that extra nuance you need to keep in code to get the exact possible results are the reasons behind my rating. The rest of the features provided by Plotly are extremely good.

Data analytics has transformed our KPI tracking and now drives faster sales decisions
This tool has given me the power to convert data into new analytical applications, giving me transparency about working on multiple platforms, and since it is cloud-based, it combines different pages for a complete progress report. Overall, it is playing a perfect, fantastic role in my organization. Some of the best features Sisense offers include its speed due to the In-Chip methodology, great visualization that makes BI easier, and the ability to load millions of data in seconds, which did not seem possible with other traditional reporting tools. It also has a robust architecture and provides REST APIs for external access. I emphasized the In-Chip methodology because it allows for accessing millions of data in a short span of seconds while providing the best visual effects for our business data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"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."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise helps us achieve a much more interactive and vivid form of visualization for our organization, which helps us drive better results and analytics."
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
"There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes."
"The Sisense solution was very easy to set up, and its visualizations were effective."
"Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful."
"The customer service provided by Sisense is excellent; it's clear that the company is invested in their clients successfully implementing and using their product."
"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."
"Sisense has been an excellent tool in positively impacting our organization through automated reporting, which has reduced manual data processing, enabling our teams to focus on core tasks and hence save considerable costs for us."
"Sisense has positively impacted my organization as it has been one of the best tools available, because since we can connect multiple data sources, we are able to make data-driven decisions more easily, and we have improved our marketing and sales strategies."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"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 main improvement I can think of is that while creating charts, it gives you a certain format of how it could look."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is cost-effective, but for smaller organizations working under a tight budget, this tool might be a bit expensive for them."
"We are moving to a better tool."
"During the introductory training, our trainer wasn't able to accompany us on this subject and there is no return on experience from the community, probably because integration with R seems to be new."
"I did encounter an issue with the Dashboard load time to be slow considering that we had a basic dashboard with five reports and no more than 300 rows was disconcerting."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"Some flexibility with the labeling of visualizations would be nice."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
 

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."
"This solution is more expensive than Tableau, Qlik and Dundas. It is an expensive tool. They charge $75,000 while Tableau is $45,000."
"Compared to Power BI or Tableau, Sisense is much more expensive."
