Scalable platform with efficient data set creation features
It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category. Our customers want to improve the business into a SaaS model. They analyze the telecom-based transaction data with SaaS, including the number of subscribers, usage of 4G and 5G networks, etc. The platform improved data analysis for our customers by providing a visualization library. We can drag visualization graphs to create weekly sessions. There is no need to implement any extra coding. It has no code interface allowing us to track the dimensions and measure the canvas. It automatically generates the chat once we select the graph. The most efficient features are data set creation and data manipulation. We can directly use the raw data table and summarize it dynamically by processing the data manipulation window. SQL Editor enhances the data scoring process, helping us write queries directly during dashboard discrepancy issues. We can store the query for future analysis as well. It enables a customizable integration with other data sources. The main benefit of using the product is the ability to access the data source without using any coding. Any user can create reports easily with minimal training. I recommend Apache Superset for customers who are considering open-source vendors. I rate it an eight out of ten.
