Hassan Kamkar - PeerSpot reviewer
An interactive and easy-to-use solution that can be used to create dashboards
The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform. We need a third-party platform to share the application that we develop. In Tableau and Power BI, we can simply share the website with others as long as we use the paid version. However, for Plotly, we need to deploy our app on a cloud-based service like AWS or other third-party websites to share with others.

Offers ease of use, affordability, cloud options, and many open sources,
Our model has used various tools together. It should make sense for them to use these tools in conjunction with RStudio Connect. Currently, they use none or only PSN and a couple of other devices. There should be integration with these tools or the ability to integrate various statistical tools, both open source and proprietary, with RStudio Connect. RStudio Connect should ideally provide an add-on library where modules can be utilized. There's no need to introduce something entirely disconnected but beneficial for statistical modeling. If some popular tools they use, such as Norman or PSF, were bundled and made available as add-ons, it would create a centralized place. This centralized platform would allow individual vendors to ensure compatibility of their products with RStudio Connect and provide them on the marketplace. Customers could then choose these validated additional tools, integrating them seamlessly with RStudio Connect.
