We are using Plotly Dash Enterprise open source as a gateway to allow business users to interact with the Sentiment Analysis machine learning application built to understand and influence customer feedback received from Trustpilot, Google, and other social media platforms. Plotly Dash gives the business powerful visual representations of customer intent, emotion, and urgency.
  • Data visualisation
  • Low code dev
  • Based on python so easy to implement
  • Would be good if Dashboard Engine was included in the Enterprise VPC plan
  • Would love to see ready made fintech apps
Plotly Dash open source components are quite powerful, fit for purpose, and easy to implement. We used a combo of bootstrap, trich, material UI, and data visualization components to allow marketing and product to interact with a wide range of sentiment and churn data analytics based on key markets, demographics, and product type.
  • Open Source
  • Generous allowance for 5 devs and unlimited business users
  • Perfect building block that brings our machine learning applications to life for the business

  • Reduce product monetization lead time
  • Real time performance monitoring
  • Deep learning to allow better marketing segmentation models
Tableau is great for basic dashboard visualisations using an ETL transfer layer from production. However, Plotly Dash is specifically designed for visualisation of machine learning applications. That's the key difference.

We use Plotly to help with the creation of web applications for both our intranet page and outward-facing website.
  • Intuitive interface
  • Detialed user guide
  • Can still get by with knowledge of only python
  • A bit of a learning curve
  • While the interface in intuitive, it takes getting used to at first
  • Difficult to create more complex application layouts
Dash works well to deploy your applications to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and many other cloud providers. If it is not used regularly, you'll have to reread the documentation to refamiliarize yourself with the code structure. This can take at least an hour, which does use up time in getting your work done.
  • Major cloud provider support
  • Can be supported on any server that supports Flask apps
  • The deployment server comes with it

I used Plotly for a course I was taking at UC Berkeley that required data visualization and plots. I was looking at options and came across Plotly and tried it.
  • Simple codes to create quick graphs.
  • Nice exportable figures.
  • Good for the initial exploratory analysis of the data.
  • Difficult to set up.
  • Steep learning curve.
  • lot of codes to write.
Applicable for data visualization across disciplines. I have used it for data from buildings, building occupancy, public health, and statistics. It is a useful tool to use for big data. It has nice templates and a number of interesting visualization types. If you are familiar with R and python it is easy to use.
  • Options for advanced data analytics.
  • It is customizable but I have not tried that feature.
  • Nice features.

We use Plotly Dash to provide online data analysis tools and BI reports for our internal customers. Final products are hosted in a sandbox environment. Data analysis tools aim to quickly visualize small portions of time series data from various aspects. BI reports are interactive reporting tools. They query BI model tables using the user input and automatically generate a new report.
  • Powerful visualization options.
  • Ability to create in-browser interactive visualization apps.
  • Ability to create hosted apps.
  • Allows you to develop web-based reporting applications without requiring web application development expertise.
  • React JSX syntax support can be added/improved.
  • Built-in UI components can be improved.
  • The API used for AJAX calls can be made more understandable and simpler.
Plotly Dash suits well where you need to build a web-based reporting tool as a minimum viable product. You will be surprised when you build your first hosted web-based reporting tool in a few minutes without the need for web development expertise. However, when it comes to building a more complete solution, you may feel a bit restricted by the options provided by the API. But as you imagine, this is the cost of the abstraction of the web development layer, in other words, simplicity vs completeness. Still, Plotly Dash is a powerful option whenever you prefer simplicity over completeness.
  • Requires only Python expertise.
  • Ease of maintenance.
  • App-based API.

Plotly Dash covers all my data analysis visualization work. We use it to create interactive and updatable graphs and are very easy to use if I am working with a large amount of data set. It can be used to quickly generate reports and you can convert JSON data to graphs right from the website.
  • You can easily create interactive graphs using Python.
  • It has a vast range of customization options, fonts, styles, etc.
  • You can create dashboard with very easy and quickly methods.
  • It will great if the callbacks could be more dynamic.
  • If the interactive labels will be customizable then it will good.
  • All the other features in this software is good.
We are working on large datasets and we needed a BI tool to create the visualization and dashboard for our report Plotly Dash is well suited here. I can now easily make the dashboard. We primarily use Plotly for comprehensive business reports, which sometimes support up to hundreds of business users. Our report specifically supports business needs like being able to drill down to details and allowing interactive filtering across the dashboard.
  • You can build and deploy analytic web apps using Python, R and Julia.
  • It creates really beautiful graphs and charts.
  • It allows to build fully functional data software.
