Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Data visualisation
Low code dev
Based on python so easy to implement

Cons

Would be good if Dashboard Engine was included in the Enterprise VPC plan
Would love to see ready made fintech apps

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Plotly to help with the creation of web applications for both our intranet page and outward-facing website.

Pros

Intuitive interface
Detialed user guide
Can still get by with knowledge of only python

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Simple codes to create quick graphs.
Nice exportable figures.
Good for the initial exploratory analysis of the data.

Cons

Difficult to set up.
Steep learning curve.
lot of codes to write.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
