User Testimonials
	D3.js	Plotly Dash
Likelihood to Recommend	Open Source It's well suited for dynamic data, especially when multiple users are using the application and generating data, it helps us to get analytics of the data for users. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Plotly Applicable for data visualization across disciplines. I have used it for data from buildings, building occupancy, public health, and statistics. It is a useful tool to use for big data. It has nice templates and a number of interesting visualization types. If you are familiar with R and python it is easy to use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Open Source It provides multiple ways of visualizing data easily. It is fast and light on system resources. It is built with JavaScript and visualizations can be easily hosted on the web across browsers. It has a huge community backing it so it is easy to find people to help with whatever you're doing.

Cons	Open Source Hard to code, not a kids play toy. No tutorial from official documentation. Requires web development experience.

Alternatives Considered	Open Source Protoviz does not require as much knowledge of programming to build visualizations as with D3.js or Google Charts.

Return on Investment	Open Source Rapid Development using templates helps faster delivery of the project. Documentation requires a lot of time to study.
