Visual insights have improved marketing analysis and still need smarter automated data exploration

  • April 12, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case when I tried Plotly Dash Enterprise was creating insightful results for my needs.

I was visualizing data for an e-commerce platform's marketing data analysis, and Plotly Dash Enterprise helped me by providing a robust visualization tool.

I don't have much else to add about my use case or how I used Plotly Dash Enterprise for my e-commerce marketing data analysis. It is regular usage to visualize the data, find the flaws, where the e-commerce platform lags, and where it is not performing well.

What is most valuable?

Plotly Dash Enterprise is for data visualization, and I hope to create meaningful insights through this process.

In my opinion, the best feature Plotly Dash Enterprise offers is versatility. It is versatile to use in every case, and that is what I feel is a good feature, along with how it is being used.

When I say versatility, I mean it is easy to adapt for various kinds of products, and that is what I mean.

Plotly Dash Enterprise has positively impacted my work by making my analysis easier. It is also quite easier to draw insights rather than regular coding.

I did notice specific outcomes, such as making more accurate decisions and improving data-driven decision making using Plotly.

What needs improvement?

I don't feel there are any significant challenges, but being in the race is very important. Plotly could add better AI-based features to make it improved.

I wish for features such as auto detection of data and auto analysis to be included.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Plotly Dash Enterprise once or twice.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In my experience, Plotly Dash Enterprise is stable with no crashes or issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm not sure about its scalability since I did it only for a small dataset and haven't tested it on larger projects.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't interacted with customer support for Plotly Dash Enterprise at all.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used a different solution for data visualization. I do code using Python.

How was the initial setup?

Setting it up on my local machine was straightforward.

What was our ROI?

As a student, I haven't seen a return on investment or any metrics or examples such as saving time or resources.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Plotly Dash Enterprise was okay, but I do feel that you could offer a free tier.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Plotly Dash Enterprise, I evaluated other options such as Power BI.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale of one to ten, I think that rating Plotly Dash Enterprise is subjective, so I don't know if I could give a number. I chose seven because it works on synthetic data, which I tried to work on, but I don't know how far it would work well for non-synthetic data. That is why I rated it seven.

My advice to others looking into using Plotly Dash Enterprise is that it is a good one. I would say it is beneficial for real-world applications. In companies, it would make your work easier if you are in HR or anything where you need to put a lot of visualizations to do your daily work. I give Plotly Dash Enterprise an overall rating of seven.

Interactive dashboards have transformed real-time energy forecasting and team collaboration

  • April 10, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Plotly Dash Enterprise is completely about the dashboards for all my web applications and for my energy forecast dashboards.

A specific example of how I use Plotly Dash Enterprise for my energy forecast dashboards is completely based on the requirement from the team, where there will be a dashboard based on Siemens standard with some dashboards showcasing the real-time interactive dashboards. The interactive dashboard works fine for us when compared to any other solution.

Regarding my main use case, I add that it is very interactive.

The best features Plotly Dash Enterprise offers are mainly the callbacks, which is what we are using. There are layouts and callbacks forming the logic, with interactivity involving dropdowns, drags as sliders, callback updates, and Plotly figures at real times. Everything is extremely easy to implement, and you just assign a widget to a variable, making it rapid for data science, internal tools, and simple interfaces. This makes it a very easy method to create a dashboard with Plotly Dash Enterprise.

The callbacks and interactive features have specifically helped my team with speed and collaboration. For example, clicking on a data point in graph A automatically filters the data shown in graph B, which represents cross-filtering. Interactive ranges between sliders and selectors are very useful, and when we use LaTeX support for technical notations like E=mc² in titles or labels for mathematical clarity with dynamic tooltips, as we apply extra variables, and HTML formatting like hover labels and HTML formatting.

I would like to add that the most important point is the interactivity provided.

To improve Plotly Dash Enterprise, I suggest that cross-filtering capabilities need significant improvement along with file uploads and downloading data as a CSV or in any other requested format, as we seek more features aligned with user requests.

What is most valuable?

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. Everything works fine without complications.

What needs improvement?

Needed improvements relate to enhancing user experience across various functionalities.

Some ways Plotly Dash Enterprise could be improved include customizing the HTML loading screen or implementing server-side rendering logic, like state management that involves Dash Patch and partial updates. Previously, to change one graph's color, the entire figure had to be sent back to the server. There should be a focus on mobile responsiveness and shifting from standard CSS to Dash Mantine Components and Dash Bootstrap while utilizing grid systems for large data bottlenecks.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Plotly Dash Enterprise for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Plotly Dash Enterprise is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Plotly Dash Enterprise occurs in three layers: execution, data transport, and infrastructure, where background callbacks come into play. If Python is single-threaded, one user triggering a heavy calculation can block others. Regarding data scalability, the payload problem surfaces, along with our server-side output store that I have previously mentioned. Partial property updates result in network traffic reduction by up to ninety percent. For infrastructure scalability, we are thinking about Docker or Kubernetes while also utilizing Redis for a shared state, making auto-scaling based on CPU or RAM usage available.

How are customer service and support?

I have not gone through customer support, as my role does not involve the management side.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use any different solution before Plotly Dash Enterprise. When I entered Siemens, my first task was to learn and start using Plotly Dash Enterprise for the UI, and I have been working with it since then.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment with Plotly Dash Enterprise, particularly in terms of saved time, as Plotly Dash Enterprise has enabled significant efficiency.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Plotly Dash Enterprise, my team did not evaluate other options, as they had already started with Plotly Dash Enterprise before I joined, which is when I learned and implemented it.

What other advice do I have?

To improve Plotly Dash Enterprise, I suggest that cross-filtering capabilities need significant improvement along with file uploads and downloading data as a CSV or in any other requested format, as we seek more features aligned with user requests.

My advice for others looking into using Plotly Dash Enterprise is that it is very useful for implementing dashboards, so I always suggest Plotly Dash Enterprise for real-time and interactive dashboards across any application. In our new projects, we have forty-two sub-applications in our tool base, where tracking how and when tickets are created, resolved, or completed through an API-based tracker is essential, and we are training a few students in Plotly Dash Enterprise for this purpose.

I rate this product an eight out of ten.

Interactive data apps have transformed static reports and now empower real-time business decisions

  • April 09, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Plotly Dash Enterprise is building and deploying interactive, production-ready applications for business users. I primarily use it to convert complex data analyses into user-friendly dashboards that support decision-making. I have worked on various projects where we build performance dashboards, pulling data from multiple sources such as databases and ETL pipelines, using Python to process and transform data into interactive visualizations that cover different regions, products, and time series data.

Although I have not worked with client projects yet, I have securely deployed the applications for internal usage, enabling real-time updates for daily sales tracking. This application helps businesses grow, identify trends, track KPIs, and make faster decisions without relying on static reports.

My experience with Plotly Dash Enterprise helps bridge the gap between data engineering and business users. Beyond just dashboards, it turns backend data pipelines into interactive applications and reduces static reports such as Excel or PDF. Instead of sending daily reports, we can create live dashboards where users can explore data independently. This enterprise application is not only suitable for small business use cases but also integrates seamlessly with existing data ecosystems such as databases and ETL tools, making it powerful in real-world enterprise environments.

Overall, it is not just a visualization tool for me; it is a platform that delivers end-to-end data solutions for business growth. These data applications directly support business decisions and are user-friendly, allowing even beginners to easily understand and build automated pipelines for tracking reports or dashboards.

What is most valuable?

The features of Plotly Dash Enterprise that I have experienced include several powerful capabilities that make it suitable for enterprise use, such as easy deployment, security, interactive dashboards, scalability, performance, and collaboration, allowing for real-time sharing of reports with stakeholders. The centralized data platform holds dashboards and supports version control and app management, along with interactive capabilities such as KPIs and data pipelines connecting databases, ETL systems, and ML models, fitting well into modern data stacks.

Overall, these features assist me in building secure, scalable, and interactive data applications, making it easier for business users to access insights without any technical background.

In my organization, I have noticed that the dashboards provided by Plotly Dash Enterprise have had a very positive impact. I recommend it for faster decision-making, reduced manual efforts, and self-service analytics for business users, enabling them to drill down, analyze, and have real-time visibility while integrating seamlessly with data pipelines. After deploying sales dashboards, reporting time has been reduced from several hours to almost real-time access. These main features are crucial for our client-side projects, and it aids in moving from static reports to interactive ones, helping to speed up the reporting process.

What needs improvement?

There are definitely a few areas where Plotly Dash Enterprise could improve to become even more effective. Currently, most dashboards need to be built from scratch, so having more ready-made templates, such as those for sales, finance, or monitoring dashboards, would significantly speed up development. A more guided user interface and low-code features would help with onboarding for beginners and non-technical users, making the platform more accessible.

While the visualization capabilities are flexible, some advanced charts require extra customization, so more out-of-the-box visual components similar to those found in Power BI or Tableau would be beneficial. Additionally, performance optimization tools for large-scale apps need to be improved, as performance tuning requires manual intervention. Enhancements in version control could make deeper interactions with CI/CD pipelines and tracking smoother for enterprise workflows. 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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Plotly Dash Enterprise for approximately two to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Plotly Dash Enterprise demonstrates reliable stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Plotly Dash Enterprise is dependent on how we design and deploy our applications. It is a SaaS-based tool, capable of horizontal scaling with built-in Kubernetes and containers. We can scale by adding more instances to handle multiple users efficiently, with the ability to support hundreds to thousands of users with proper backend performance control. While scalability challenges and bottleneck issues exist, our limited experience in that area means we have not faced them extensively.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support for Plotly Dash Enterprise is commendable, as it considers all elements necessary for enterprise-grade projects. They assist with installation, deployment, performance tuning, scalable architecture, and troubleshooting, which are valuable for initial setups and production-ready configurations. Plotly also manages hosting concerns by handling upgrades, monitoring, and maintenance.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Power BI and Superset for user-friendliness and a simple ecosystem environment. We switched to Plotly Dash Enterprise because we sought tools that are more user-friendly, effective for business use cases, cost-effective, and capable of handling large data scales. Upon identifying this tool, we implemented it in our proof of concept.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment with Plotly Dash Enterprise, notably in time savings, productivity, and faster decision-making. Ad-hoc analyses that used to take days have been reduced significantly, with one case where the team saved seven to ten days per month. The faster creation and iteration of dashboards have led to less back-and-forth communication between the business and data teams, less dependency on other teams, and substantial cost savings.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing for Plotly Dash Enterprise is based on custom and variable factors, with no fixed public prices. It depends on the number of users, deployment type, support level, and scale. The enterprise price can reach around one hundred thousand dollars per year, varying according to organizational size, and different licensing models are available based on platform access, security, and admin control features.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before finalizing our choice, we evaluated several alternatives, focusing on tools with data visualization and scalability features. While I have experience with Microsoft Power BI and find it to be great for standard dashboards and business reports, we chose Plotly Dash Enterprise for its flexibility, Python integration, and ability to build fully customized data applications that better matched our requirements.

What other advice do I have?

I advise others to understand that Plotly Dash Enterprise is not a typical BI tool such as Microsoft Power BI. It is more than just dashboards; it is a custom data application that integrates with Python, ML models, APIs, and complex workflows for user interactions. I would rate this product an eight overall.

Interactive dashboards have transformed how my team analyzes used car market data

  • April 07, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Plotly Dash Enterprise is to build dashboards. A specific example of a dashboard I built is an analysis on the used cars market in the United States. I used a Kaggle data source to get all the data that I needed and used Plotly to create different charts and graphs. The experience of building those charts and graphs with Plotly Dash Enterprise was good, and the visuals were very good to look at.

What is most valuable?

What I appreciated most about the visuals was the customization and simplicity. The best features Plotly Dash Enterprise offers include designing beautiful apps without using CSS or HTML and also the control access. The control access feature helps my team by using authentication code, so we can ensure only the people who should have access can view the dashboard. Plotly Dash Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by giving us valuable inputs through the interactive visuals, which we can use to make concrete decisions that help us improve our top line or bottom line.

What needs improvement?

Plotly Dash Enterprise is pretty good, but it could benefit from more marketing so that more people are aware of it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Plotly Dash Enterprise for a few weeks.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Plotly Dash Enterprise is stable in my experience.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Plotly Dash Enterprise's scalability is pretty good. I have not personally seen Plotly Dash Enterprise handling increased loads or more users effectively, so I cannot provide more details about what makes scalability critical for me.

How are customer service and support?

I did not need to use customer support for Plotly Dash Enterprise.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to others looking into using Plotly Dash Enterprise is to go for it. I would rate this review an 8.

Building rich Python-based dashboards and chatbot UIs has transformed internal analytics

  • April 07, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I have been using Plotly Dash Enterprise for quite some time, and I have used it for internal testing, making dashboards, and creating the UI for internal chatbots.

Primarily, since the UI is straightforward and Plotly Dash Enterprise allows us to use Python, we use it internally. I use it within my team to create UIs for chatbots. I also create KPI dashboards, many data dashboards, and business dashboards.

For one of our clients, we integrated a Power BI dashboard within Plotly Dash Enterprise UI. Along with that, we also enabled a chatbot to be built on the side using Plotly Dash Enterprise.

What is most valuable?

The best features Plotly Dash Enterprise offers are the fact that it is built on Python and the fact that we can customize many things. CSS can be added, and JavaScript can be added. There is significant customizability that is offered by Plotly Dash Enterprise.

As an end user, you want the dashboard or the chatbot UI to look interactive. In order to make it more interactive, we use custom CSS and JavaScript. That is how I feel that Plotly Dash Enterprise is a really good tool. All you have to do is create an assets folder, and anything inside that folder can be used by the application very quickly.

The DAQ feature is amazing because you get all these cool LEDs, displays, dials, and toggle switches. Many of the components, such as the Bootstrap components and the different themes that are offered by Plotly Dash Enterprise, are amazing. Overall, I think a person who is not that involved in UI development can start here because ultimately, it is Python code that helps us build UIs. It is a really good application.

For my internal demos and personal projects, I notice specific outcomes such as better visualization. It has been much easier to create many good and amazing dashboards easily because I am myself a Python coder, and I do not prefer to code in JavaScript and React. Creating things in Python is easier. Obviously, faster prototyping occurs, and better visualizations are achieved. Easier collaboration is something I am uncertain about because I usually end up opening a dev tunnel to all the demos that I make, and then other people can access it.

What needs improvement?

Nothing comes to mind at the moment about how Plotly Dash Enterprise can be improved. It is simply the fact that people do not discuss Plotly Dash Enterprise much, and it is such a good tool. I feel that Plotly should focus more on how they can improve the product's reach to other people as well.

The capabilities of Plotly Dash Enterprise have not been discussed that much in the communities. It is a really good platform.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Plotly Dash Enterprise for four years.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Plotly Dash Enterprise a solid nine. Honestly, nothing can bring anything to a perfect ten because there is always some scope of improvement. The fact that I have given it a nine means that it works for me, so I cannot generalize any score. At the moment, I feel that Plotly Dash Enterprise can definitely increase its reach and become a topic that is more discussed, compared to now, which is basically nothing. In my current company, many people do not know what Plotly Dash Enterprise is and what all Plotly Dash Enterprise can do.

The documentation for Plotly Dash Enterprise is amazing because I have gone through the documentation, and it is straightforward. Anyone trying to go through Plotly Dash Enterprise can understand it. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.

Python dashboards have transformed employment data into interactive insights for better decisions

  • January 25, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

We use Plotly Dash Enterprise mainly for creating dashboards using Python. With Plotly's support of Python, it helps us to develop interactive dashboards according to the customer use case and the kind of applications that are required.

We have Federal Reserve Economic Data as well as Bureau of Labor Survey data sets for our economic data. We take this data on a per state basis or on a per county basis monthly to detect or determine economic government data sets, such as unemployment rate and employment rates in the manufacturing sector. We take that data using their APIs, and once we have this data in our database, we use Plotly to create dashboards with interactive visualizations that help our analytics team to make decisions and tune our machine learning model accordingly.

We have both internal and external use cases with Plotly Dash Enterprise. With our machine learning model, we develop interactive dashboards to have a picture of how things are going in terms of the employment rate and other economic data sets. Also, with our clients, who are hiring companies, we project this data to them to compare their statistics with the provided government data set. Since we are a private company, they evaluate their performance against the government provided data.

What is most valuable?

Integration with Plotly Dash Enterprise involves only the databases that we have, and interaction depends solely on the controls, meaning we have drop-downs, radio buttons, and other interface elements. We utilize multiple visualizations along with different types of charts that Plotly helps us to interact with.

The ability to develop dashboards using Python has been our great use case with Plotly Dash Enterprise. With this capability, we are able to create a GitHub repository or a central version control system that helps us manage different versions of the dashboards. If we need to improve something, we simply go back to a previous version and make immediate changes if necessary. Furthermore, we also have the ability to control how our dashboards look and design them according to our own use cases, achieving the required scalability with the help of the enterprise version.

Since we have ties with hiring companies that require high scalability, Plotly Dash Enterprise helps us achieve that. With the GitHub version control system, we have created a repository containing our dashboard code. With the help of Plotly, we integrate our dashboards with GitHub to provide us much more control over how our dashboards look and manage different versions of them simultaneously.

We use Python mainly with Plotly Dash Enterprise, which is an added use case instead of doing a drop-down and using Power BI. Coding provides us with much more ability to design custom visualizations tailored to our specific needs. 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. It also helps us derive decisions that are beneficial for our use cases and create different versions for different sets of companies that we partner with.

The main advantage we have is that we manage different forms of files or different forms of data that we have stored, including semi-structured, structured, and unstructured formats. With the help of Plotly Dash Enterprise, we tackle these challenges and create a unified data frame or dataset that helps us achieve a common goal. We are not restricted to any form of data. No matter the data format, we can handle it clearly with the help of Python libraries and scale our visualizations to another level.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Plotly Dash Enterprise for nearly two to three years.

What other advice do I have?

It's a great tool to incorporate in your organization to develop dashboards that help your analytics team derive better decisions and generate more business profits. It gives you much more control with Python and helps you interact with multiple file formats to easily bring them to a common platform, such as a Pandas DataFrame or PySpark DataFrame. Plotly Dash Enterprise helps you create the visualizations you want and achieve better results. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

A flexible tool that offers an open-source version

  • February 02, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My company builds products. With the help of Plotly, the dashboards and reports my company builds are used by our clients. My company uses Plotly to present our data to clients so that they can understand and improve their performance.

My company uses Plotly as it is a very light and flexible tool. We use the free version of the solution based on our requirements. With a bit of technical skills, anyone can use Plotly. Any data analyst can use Plotly with a very small amount of training.

What needs improvement?

I believe that the price of the tool's paid services is on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Plotly for nearly more than an year. My company is a customer of Plotly. I use the latest version of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven or eight out of ten.

I have not encountered any troubles while using the product, but I feel that it has some feature limitations.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.

In my company, there are around five resources that use the product. My company's clients use the product a lot on a daily basis.

I use the product twice a week in my company before I get any call from our clients.

How are customer service and support?

My company gets a lot of support from blogs and GitHub. Everything is good with the technical support. I rate the technical support an eight or nine out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

My company has been using Power BI for many years. My company has experience with Tableau aswell.

My company switched to Plotly from Power BI since the former allowed the flexible use of certain views. Plotly's link with Python language made it here for our company to get the views that we wanted. Plotly was used to overcome certain limitations related to views, especially when it comes to the creation of custom views.


How was the initial setup?

I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup process, and ten is an easy setup process.

The solution is deployed on a private cloud.

The solution can be deployed in a day or two since I had to set up a lot of custom views., after which the deployment process can be managed in a few minutes.

What about the implementation team?

One of our company's in-house teams managed the product's deployment phase.

What was our ROI?

Plotly has been a good product, and it has only been a few months since my company started using it. Based on the scalability and client adaptability, my company should be able to get a fair return on investment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It is an open-source tool. My company hasn't explored Plotly's premium services yet, but I believe the prices are on the premium side.

I rate the product price as five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price.

What other advice do I have?

I am only in the picture when there is some decision-making process that happens with Plotly. Plotly is mainly used by the team in my company.

There is hardly any requirement for maintenance until and unless we change the views and colors or add additional views. Maybe a few hours are required every month to take care of the product's maintenance phase.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

Helps to visually present datasets

  • January 31, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is most valuable?

In my approach to data analysis and presentation, especially when dealing with a substantial amount of code for data processing, I find Plotly to be a valuable tool. After running the code and obtaining results, I focus on presenting these results using it acceptably.

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't contacted the tool's support.

What other advice do I have?

In my experience, I primarily work with R when using Plotly. However, I understand that the integration of Plotly with Python is also excellent. I'm working with a sales and marketing consultancy that has operated for 20-30 years. They are transitioning to incorporating machine learning, AI, and statistical analysis into their traditional methods. The consultancy primarily works with B2B companies, recognizing that B2B firms with a limited pool of potential customers tend to be less engaged in social media than B2C companies. The focus is on platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram while acknowledging that TikTok is not considered valuable for their analysis.

The consultancy actively uses large language models to analyze various aspects, such as social media engagement, and assess how companies present themselves. In statistical and analytical terms, we aim to create impactful analyses for our clients. The approach involves comparing the target company with four to six similar companies, keeping the identity of these competitors confidential. Our goal is to assist clients in understanding their position in the market and provide tailored insights using modern tools. The focus is on identifying areas of weakness and highlighting strengths to refine sales and marketing efforts.

To make this process effective, we utilize Plotly, as they offer impactful presentations. Building databases of company data and conducting analyses on various aspects like websites, social media, and other marketing presentations, we present comparative analyses of how a particular company stacks up against its competitors.

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

An interactive and easy-to-use solution that can be used to create dashboards

  • June 30, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I am using the solution for creating dashboards that can be deployed on web-based applications. It involves data analytics, graph representation, and table representation.

How has it helped my organization?

The good thing about Plotly is that it is based on Python. I know Python, so I can use it very easily. The level of interactivity that Plotly has is very useful. Users can play with the data and modify the filters of the images and tables.

What is most valuable?

The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me.

What needs improvement?

The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform. We need a third-party platform to share the application that we develop. In Tableau and Power BI, we can simply share the website with others as long as we use the paid version. However, for Plotly, we need to deploy our app on a cloud-based service like AWS or other third-party websites to share with others.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Compared to Tableau and Power BI, the product is less stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Compared to Tableau and Power BI, the product is less scalable. Three to four people in my organization use the solution.

How are customer service and support?

I have been in touch with the support team through GitHub for some issues with my applications. My experience was very good. The team members are very good. They usually respond within two or three days. I'm happy with that. The solution has a really good community on GitHub. Most of my questions are already answered there. They usually respond within two or three days if it is something new.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was moderately complex the first time. I use AWS to deploy my app on the web.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment of the app does not take too much time. It depends on our level of expertise in both AWS and Plotly. If we want to deploy an app on the web, it must satisfy some criteria. As long as we maintain those criteria, it is easy to deploy on the web. It is a little bit costly to deploy the app. If we want to deploy it on the web, we must have the paid version of AWS. We cannot use a free version.

It took me almost a day to do all the setup, setting, and everything in Plotly and AWS. After that, it takes only half an hour to deploy the app on AWS. I did the deployment myself. While deploying the product, I had to change my code a little bit to maintain specific criteria. Then, I created some additional files for the application, like the asset files, the folder containing all the images, and all the things we will share. Then we need to zip everything together and go to AWS. We choose the services we wanted to use and set up our instances on AWS Connect. Finally, we upload the application onto AWS.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I only use the free tier of the product. I haven't studied the paid version, but I don't think it will offer a lot because it's all on Python. All that it offers is a desktop version of the software. I'm not sure how useful it's going to be for those who are coding Python.

What other advice do I have?

I want to explore Tableau and Power BI. My organization did not have access to these solutions. As long as someone does not have access to the paid version of Power BI and Tableau, Plotly is the best option for them. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
