Easy to use dashboarding tool supporting many data sources
Pros
- It is easy to connect your datasources and it supports over 15 different type of datasources.
- It is easy to create your first dashboards. You can learn the basics just by trying it out. It also has great documentation to find the solution for more difficult problems.
- You can save your data into Chartio's datastores. Using these datastores on your dashboards makes them super fast to refresh without querying your own database. You can set when you would like to refresh your datastores.
Cons
- I really miss usage statistics. We don't know who, when and how many times were viewing our dashboards. It is a real pain point when you have created hundreds of dashboards and you need to maintain those too which are not used any more.
- Would be nice to have version control to easily revert changes.
- Data-stores are limited to 1 million lines. Using multiple filters on a dashboards makes hard to fit into this limit.

Great first time tool. We used it for a while, and eventually moved away.
Pros
- Really easy to get going. We tested many solutions - and Chartio is by far, the quickest. Took us a legitimate 30 minutes from nothing to up and running.
- Chartio visually illustrates your database structure. This is phenomenally helpful for users who need to understand how to join tables and get the data they need.
- The UI is pretty typical of other tools, so there's not an additional learning curve if you've used other BI tools. It's actually more simple than most, but still pretty similar.
Cons
- Slow - the queries aren't optimized for speed. In order to combat this, you may need to build aggregate tables for date ranges and typical calculations.
- Expensive. We negotiated down to $25k a year. That's pretty typical for BI tools, but the value ended up not being equal to $25k.

Simple and Effective Business Intelligence made to get your feet wet and possibly the long haul
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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.

Chartio - User friendly and powerful dashboard creation
Pros
- Chart manipulation after an initial query.
- Extensive choices for dropdown menus.
- User interface is very easy on the eyes and intuitive.
- The new drag & drop method for arranging charts is much more efficient than before!
Cons
- I'd like to be able to see two dashboards at once.
- Sometimes I do find myself limited by the chart types - not quite as flexible as Excel would be.
