Overall Satisfaction with Chartio
We use Chartio as part of our Business Intelligence tooling. As data grows we need ways to prospect through it to ensure our services are helping people effectively. Chartio helps us do this by offering a simple yet powerful solution to consume data sources and visual metrics.
- Hooks up to nearly any data source and common services.
- Supports SQL but also has a nice query builder.
- Supports the creation of data stores for fast loading charts for common metrics.
- Offers a data pipeline to ETL the data as needed.
- The sharing is descent but is a bit lacking. You can embed charts but they're not as nice as when displayed on Chartio dashboards.
- The pricing model is very competitive, but just to offer embedding puts you in a very high tier.
- They need a better pricing model for adding users. User licensing is a bit expensive.
- Looker and Tableau Online
Chartio so far has been the easiest BI tool to setup and has also been the most affordable. There are some other, great, BI tools out there but they were a bit to heavy handed for what we needed. Also - despite the high cost per user in Chartio, the other tools were still more expensive.
