User Testimonials
Amazon QuickSightPlotly Dash
Likelihood to Recommend
I'm likely to recommend it because it would become so native if other cloud services are based on AWS infrastructure, like our current setup. It is very seamlessly integrated with other services to feed in data for the visualization. In addition, supporting a reasonably large number of users concurrently is not an issue and should be able to scale horizontally as needed.

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.

Cons
  • One of the primary challenges I've had with Amazon QuickSight so far is that some of the reports I want to build use data from different data sets. Instead of being able to put all of the information I want to see into one report.
  • Some of our Amazon QuickSight reports only update every 24 hours. It would be great to see that data in real-time.
  • I would remove the various time zones from Amazon QuickSight and only use the time zone we are in.

  • 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.

Usability
It is easy to use and set up no need to put in so much effort. Once build, the dashboard can be used with multiple clients with the same domain. It provides multiple connectivity options which makes it a versatile option for reporting.
