Pros
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.""The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me.""When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."

Cons
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement.""The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information.""The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."

More Plotly Cons →

"There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources.""Would like the ability to be able to benchmark."
