Margin Assurance Analyst at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
A stable open source suite for modern business analytics with a useful replication feature
It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products.

Operations Analyst at a non-profit with 51-200 employees
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

"Unified interface, a lot of tools for BI, easy configuration, standalone SDK."
"Being able to schedule necessary jobs needed for production jobs and programming run times"
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"Customer Service: Excellent."
"It's very easy to get the historical reports you need based on the business requirements and this helps our executives for taking decisions."
"Instead of just relying on emails to disperse our reports, having a central server to do this for us has helped our organization and has pushed us into a better place."
"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."
"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."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise has positively impacted my organization because the easy Pandas integration meant less time on data preparation and faster chart generation."
"It is as though you are writing a novel, not just code."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise significantly reduces engineering costs by seventy percent, eliminates the front-end JavaScript rewrite phase, and allows us to build, design, and deploy production-grade applications independently in Python."
"The positive impact of Plotly Dash Enterprise includes the speed to production, the accessibility it provides, and the enhanced security and compliance."
"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."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise positively impacts our organization as we have started projects completely with Plotly Dash Enterprise, implemented for the last four years, focusing on real-time data where we check the real-time data every ten seconds."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise helped me to visualize data better as the color schemas provided were very contrasting, and anyone new who saw the data could interpret it much quicker compared to any other platform."
 

Cons

"The demands of some jobs would slow Spago and lock the site, preventing any other job from processing."
"Unfortunately, many interesting features do not work when you are using a custom database for storing the metadata."
"Many things need to be improved, most of all robustness."
"Yes, using Mobile and Desktop Editions, we would sometimes need to restart the service."
"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 only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"I faced difficulties when using the email feature and documentation was scant."
"Tomcat configuration was tricky in earlier versions."
"For large data sets in Plotly Dash Enterprise, it can be slow sometimes due to many callbacks that are there."
"If they could enhance the exploratory data analysis aspect and leverage generative AI to provide patterns and trends automatically, it would set them apart in the market."
"Plotly Dash Enterprise works well for most cases, but for some large data sets, it can be a bit laggy."
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"We need to use fewer processes because we have a great opportunity to improve the dynamic graphics as they use a lot of processors and computer clusters, which over the years become very expensive for the business."
"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 would like to discuss improvements needed for Plotly Dash Enterprise, specifically regarding licensing and documentation that I wish were different."
 

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."
"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."
