Datameer vs. Plotly Chart Studio

Datameer's workbooks include an intuitive GUI for maximum usability. Anyone with an analytical mind may easily compile data using the built-in worksheet capability without requiring much technological knowledge. Ad hoc reports may now be made and scheduled. In addition, I haven't had too much problem fixing things because I can get most of the answers I want there.

Plotly Chart Studio is great at creating interactive charts and also maintain a repository of every chart ever created in the organization. Moreover these charts can be searched by other users and used for different purposes. It is also very useful for data science companies as it has APIs for Python, Julia and other languages to create charts within the development environment and then publish to Chart Studio.

• It leverages scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of hadoop to deliver an end-user focused analytic platform for big data without involvement of IT.
• It overcomes Hadoop`s complexity by providing GUI interface with pre-built functions across integration, analytics and data visualization .
• Excel feature is awesome for business users which is already provided by Datameer.
• Using datameer now user can do smart analytic using Decision Trees, Column dependency and recommendation.
• Recently HTML5 inclusion is making application to available on a wider range of devices, including the iPad and other mobile devices which does not support Flash.
• It can be used in premise or in a cloud computing environment.
• Wizard-based data integration designed for IT and business users to schedule and do transformation of large sets of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data without any knowledge of Hadoop ecosystem.

• Connects to almost every kind of data source like SQL, Excel, MS Access, flat files and more.
• Charts get saved to the repository and are re-used by multiple users.
• No need of manual intervention in order to refresh the charts every time the data gets changed.

• Data visualization and graphics. Right now it's not very user friendly. Creating dashboards requires a lot of work that can be done by the application

Incentivized

• Lack of customer support
• Sometimes fails to visualize extremely large datasets ( probably also due to computer resource constraints)

Employees with intermediate SQL and Hive knowledge can generate reports faster than using Datameer . It does have visualization tool but I don't think it is anything that cannot be accomplished by importing the data in Excel

Easy to use for most things, starts to require some planning as your projects get more complex.

I have compared Datameer with the tools listed above and it blows them out of the water. Datameer is much more user friendly than these tools and is also a lot more powerful. Once the Q1 release comes out with drill down capabilities on the infographics, Datameer will surpass Tableau and Spotfire in visualization.

Incentivized

• Quick time to value. Transition from developer to learning Datameer is less than a day.
• Workspace is drag and drop, which makes it intuitive and easy to use.
• Speed of data transformations.
• Pulling data from various sources.
• Easy to schedule data pipelines.
• Tailor made for Snowflake and Redshift.
• Documentation is sometimes not updated quickly.
• Training videos are a bit long.

• Free software for faster visualization generation
• Better collaboration with other researchers on visualizations
• Real time inference on data changes
