Chose Jet Reports
Jet Report works really well for the data stored in clouds. It also integrated with a few digital channels which makes grabbing the live data easier. One of the best tools to schedule report and it has done wonders for a small advertising agency which do not have a bandwidth to …
Chose Jet Reports
[Jet Reports is] So much better. Jet Reports works with Excel so you can use a base knowledge of something everyone is familiar with to create any kind of report possible - not only single reports but cross referencing other report and data tables.
Chose Jet Reports
Jet Reports is light weight and has a minimal barrier to entry for new users. Tableau has a higher learning curve and is more cost prohibitive.
Shiny
Chose Shiny
Whilst dashboarding may be comparable with some of the other products we evaluated. Nothing compared to the analytical capabilities on offer with Shiny. An added advantage was that we had colleagues knowledgeable in R which meant bringing in Shiny and getting to grips with it …

Shiny is much cheaper to use than Tableau Desktop and Microsoft Power BI. It's not as fancy, and maybe not as effective, but you save lots of money by using Shiny over the previously listed alternatives. The graphs and charts you can make in Shiny are very good for …
Chose Shiny
Both Tableau and Power BI are easier to learn and allow you to develop dashboards in a faster and more intuitive way, but both have limitations in what you can do with them and if you want to do something more specific it is always more complicated. RStudio is much more …

Shiny can be a good tool in academic but its not upto standard of TMT industry but could possibly be useful in life science industry (which is where its more prevalent usually), its good as its mostly free (not including cost of servers and compute). I would rank its …

Jet Reports is well suited whrn you have all the data handy in excel files. But it gets a little tricky if you want to get the live data from social media or any other channels. I wish it had a better integration abilities with other websites or/and channels

Shiny is very good for developing dashboards or web applications with specific functionalities. But it is not so easy to use to develop from scratch, it is always better to use another tool to have a general idea of ​​what is expected of a dashboard and then develop the most specific functionalities in Shiny. It is much more flexible than other tools and that is why I consider it to be better for most cases, only that it is more complex to develop or has a longer learning curve.

Because it is not the costliest tool in this category but it serves the purpose. It is easy to use, cost effective, and works really well with the data stored on cloud.
