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.

Cost effective with great capability, performance, flexibility and visuals
In general, we're happy with the solution but we're always looking to see what else is out there. The thing we've struggled with is our partnership with Tagetik UK, the consultants, and the issue we had gaining access to consultants to develop the solution on our behalf. Thankfully we connected directly with XLCubed and now have a pretty close and good relationship with them so the earlier problem we had of actually getting resources to help us develop has now been solved. One of the things that we've been asking for and would like as an additional feature is a sort of benchmarking functionality. The ability to be able to benchmark, directly against the company digital corporate numbers. That said, there seems to be improved functionality within the latest release that could help us develop that further.

Cons

"I sometimes find that the documentation is not comprehensive and more detailed documentation should be available for the benefit of other companies using it."
"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."
"The main improvement I can think of is that while creating charts, it gives you a certain format of how it could look."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"For large data sets in Plotly Dash Enterprise, it can be slow sometimes due to many callbacks that are there."
"Adding documentation AI to Plotly Dash Enterprise would be more useful than trying to figure it out through certain AI, LLM, or chatbots for certain functions that I would prefer to use in custom cases."
"It's quite a stable solution although we sometimes encounter issues internally within our IT department with regard to the structure."
"At this time, I cannot recommend this solution to others because I cannot connect."
"There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources."
"Would like the ability to be able to benchmark."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"14,000 Pounds per year for licensing."
"I am still using the two-week trial, but at first sight, the price is reasonable."
