Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	If you are looking to pull and aggregate data from multiple sources for reporting or analytics, Supermetrics is the best option for connecting those data sources into a single table. Supermetrics is less beneficial if you report on a single data source or do not need to aggregate your data into a single source. Incentivized Timothy McCormack VP, Media & Analytics Read full review

Incentivized Kenton Woods Research Assistant Read full review	Supermetrics is easy to use, the ui is helpful for creating queries. Supermetrics allows to run the created queries on triggers.

Cons	Shiny can be really time consuming to create visuals. It needs excellent knowledge of R programming and coding skillset. It still has a limited set of options to choose from. Incentivized VK Varun Kumar Data Science and Analytics Lead Read full review	Sometimes I have to refer to the website to find which metrics are what - the names aren't always the same as the platform calls them. No public data for LinkedIn. Definitely requires knowledge on how to use Google Data Studio. Incentivized Trevor Irish Digital Marketing Analyst II Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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 was a lot more seamless and welcomed by the end users.

Return on Investment	We saw a good involvement to researchers when showing their models in shiny. We can have a quicker review from the user when the model is in production. False positives can be found easily and they help the retraining of the model. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Positive!
