    Grow.com is well suited if you have a lot of data or client data to manage. If you do not have tons of data, there are other options out there that are a bit more simple and easy to use and a better price.

    [Plotly Chart Studio is] a great tool to make visualizations on a web based portal. For python developers, it can ease of some burden of writing code again and again for the same thing and also refreshing visualizations on old scripts when data changes. All in all, a simple yet effective tool for your report generation and visualization needs[.]

    Pros
    Epicor Software
    • I love the fact that you have a team of developers who can help me build metrics or fix metrics that I do not create properly. I had to learn SQL in order to really build the metrics that mattered, which was a lot of fun, but resulted in many broken metrics. The vendor's team was great in responding to me requests for help!
    • Really, really appreciate the fact that Grow has SQL formulas to reference when building metrics. Again, as a novice, this accelerated my ability to learn and not have to leave your site and resources and stay within the Grow web properties.
    • Great account managers who check in regularly and are willing to help out whenever needed.

    • Connects to almost every kind of data source like SQL, Excel, MS Access, flat files and more.
    • Charts get saved to the repository and are re-used by multiple users.
    • No need of manual intervention in order to refresh the charts every time the data gets changed.

    Cons
    Epicor Software
    • There are basic labeling issues with some of the graph types. Wish there was more customizability here, especially on complex graphs.
    • Could help more with analysis of data and trends, but that's going into full-fledged BI territory.
    • The functionality of being able to snapshot data isn't quite there.

    • Lack of customer support
    • Sometimes fails to visualize extremely large datasets ( probably also due to computer resource constraints)

    This tool is definitely a little bit difficult to be able to figure out at first, but after some time of learning you can definitely pick it up. I do wish there were more resources online that would be able to help speed up the learning process

    Grow doesn't have as many advanced analytics features and other capabilities as some other 'dashboard' platforms on the market. Simply, if you want a tool for internal use only that has high-level analytics capabilities (regressions, completely custom visualizations, modeling), Grow probably isn't the platform for you. To put it another way, if you have a team of data engineers and scientists doing complex analysis, Grow might not make the most sense. However, if you understand the value of data/visualization/dashboards, but lack some of those skillsets in your company, Grow might be the perfect fit. Not only is it incredibly scalable and reasonably priced compared to other market solutions, but their transform capabilities really stand out. They have many native data transformations that mimic SQL coding of a dataset, without requiring any knowledge of SQL. They've converted these transformations to easy-to-use tools in the platform, which are perfect for the less-technical user.

    • Improvement in productivity as charts can be shared with teams and feedback can be collected, consolidated and incorporated in the design and charts.
    • Charts are aligned with the organization theme and colors and one doesn't need to put in effort every time to do that.
    • No upfront capital expenditure and minimum user criteria helps the organization to keep the costs down.
