Heartbroken - found out yesterday that someone very close to me in my family who has been clean for 10+ years (addicted to coke and alcohol, used it as a crutch for sexuality issues), relapsed recently and has started casually drinking again. I am the only one who knows this, and if it gets around, it will mess everything up for him. At a loss about what I can do to help, but also want to communicate to him that I think it’s a very bad idea that he start drinking again. I think the main reason he has started drinking again is because he is a single gay man in his 50s who wants companionship. Advice and support is appreciated.
Churchill once said, "Datorama is the worst data viz option, except for all the others".
Serious answer: They're ok, depends what you need it for.
Hit or miss. At scale, for a large client it’s expensive and tedious. For a small to mid client, worth it.
Terrible BI tool. Very limiting. All of your data needs to fit into a pre defined schema. Look into DOMO.
It’s just expensive if you are working with large sets of data. However their built in API connectors are very reliable and are worth it alone if you don’t have resources dedicated for an engineering team to build the data pipelines. They charge based on rows. Something like 1100 dollars per million rows plus have fairly expensive licenses too
We use it and it’s been great. It saves a ton of time in reporting and allows our teams to focus on more interesting work.
It’s good if you have an analytics team that’s not data savvy since it’s fairly easy to understand. If your team is data savvy, there’s better alternatives out there because it’s clunky and industry specific.
Hahaha. Love it :)
I feel like this question comes up every couple months. From my experience, it’s not as good with visualization as Tableau and not as good with backend data pipelines as Domo. But it’s decent at both.
Agree with a previous responder that it can be expensive at scale. You can limit this with a data lake like a S3 bucket, but need to have the technical savvy to pull that off.
I just realized the OP was from a month ago.
