Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.""The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."

More Plotly Pros →

"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals.""Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools.""Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features.""On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL.""The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis.""It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities""It's pretty easy to deploy.""The language support is very good."

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."

More Plotly Cons →

"The tool is expensive in Turkey.""It needs work with visualization.""Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial.""This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help.""Needs improvement with UI transparency.""There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use.""Better source data connectors.""Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."

  • More Plotly Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
  • "It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
