A web based open source visualization tool
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I used plotly chart studio during my role as research assistant. Primarily, my role revolved around processing big data , generating analytics and making visualizations to infer some trends. Being a python developer, I was using plotly's python api which itself is fairly easy to use. However, when I came to know about chart studio, I quickly jumped onto it due to no code feature and beautiful gui to do everything related to visualizations.
Pros
- Beautiful user interface (web based for app)
- Open source and free
- Connects to any type of data including json, databases, csv
- Multiple users can concurrently access visualizations
- No need to refresh visualizations on data change.
Cons
- Lack of customer support
- Sometimes fails to visualize extremely large datasets ( probably also due to computer resource constraints)
Likelihood to Recommend
[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[.]
