AP
Highly scalable with very good configuration, customization, and migration
Technical support assists us all the time and has a good response time depending on the case or severity. For a severe issue, support helps us a lot and continues to coordinate until our issue is resolved. Severe issues are ranked as a three or four technical level. Responses depend on the technical level, the questions asked, and what we discuss regarding the issue. The support person you get plays a role but overall the support team is excellent. Support is rated a eight out of ten.
SUBRATADEY - PeerSpot reviewer
Addressing installation challenges to utilize interactive dashboards effectively
Posit is valuable because many geo-scientists I work with are more comfortable writing R scripts and using R Shiny, making it a suited choice for them. On top of that, it integrates with the application and database, creating interactive dashboards. While there's a need to manage a significant portion manually, the performance overall is stable.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."
"Overall, I think Posit is a stable product."
"I have found Posit’s integration with R, such as the autocomplete feature and the help panel, to be invaluable."
"The most valuable feature of Posit is that it allows users to host different models in one place, making it easy to share with colleagues and teammates."
 

Cons

"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"Quality of support varies."
"I would like to see improvements in SSH capabilities."
"Posit lacks a smooth solution for the build and release pipeline, requiring duplicate effort for production transitions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle products are always going to be on the higher end of your price scale. You have to kind of accept that going in."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other products."
