SmartVault vs. Streamlit

SmartVault sends out a cover letter with the tax returns that includes a link for them to download their tax returns, avoiding the insecurity of an email attachment. It does not include a statement retrieval feature but does work very nicely with a third-party app called FileThis. The majority of the users in the office have not been able to install the Outlook plug-in due to "a certificate error." In five years, SmartVault has not addressed this issue.

- Don't want to pay Tableau $1,000 / seat? Use Streamlit - Want fully custom views and navigation? Use Streamlit - Want access to Machine Learning and not just your dev team? Use Streamlit - Want to keep things internal and secure? Use Streamlit - Want your Data Science team to be able to crank out projects quickly? Use Streamlit - Sick of Jupyter Notebooks and Business Leaders not understanding them? Use Streamlit Our D.S. strategy has moved completely to delivering pages in Streamlit. I can hand an executive a Jupyter notebook and it'll get lost in translation. I can give them sign-in access to a page and they can answer all of their own "What-If?" questions! We've used Streamlit to productize our Data Science and Machine Learning capabilities.

• They have cut back on support as have many SaaS companies recently.

• Recent Security issues (they quickly released an update to combat this though...)
• Requires a bit of HTML knowledge to really customize. If you're going quick, you don't need HTML though. Streamlit commands will pump your page out fast.

Reaching someone is more difficult than it should be. Also, they don't take possession of known issues always suggesting it is a local PC issue in initial conversations. That, of course, can be frustrating for the end-user.

Sales team was responsive, price was good, functionality was acceptable

I started using Streamlit when it first came out and thought it was really useful and powerful. A few years later and they've really hit their stride! The features / widgets / materials they provide have been well researched, well designed, and well implemented. I will take Streamlit to any future companies I go to as well as be a strong promoter wherever I'm currently at. It's free. It's easy to use. It is really powerful. Sure? You could go pay for a larger system but your Data Science team should be able to handle Streamlit easily. I'd argue a non-technical person spending a few weeks in python could pick up Streamlit really quickly.

• has forced us into using their service, or spending time to find a better alternative, in my experience.
• Speaking personally the product has cost us several thousand dollars over predicted budget costs for a 3-year projection

• I've scaled my team 2x since using Streamlit. We show off actual results that users can play with
• We're building a customer facing page that we're going to monetize.
• Incredible amounts of visibility into my team and what we're accomplishing.
