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.

Shiny is well suited where an organisation is looking to empower their analysts to minimise time spent on repetitive analysis by deploying repeatable analytical pipelines, but also looking for them to add greater value to the organisation by utilising more advanced analytical techniques. Ideally it is well suited where IT are on board and supportive of some of the more advanced features such as deploying R Shiny dashboards.
