Add a review of RStudio
Review 1 26 Jun 2020

Usability

This tool requires a good knowledge of how to code in R in order to manage the data to be visualised. Additionally, some understanding of html and CSS is useful in order to visualise data.

Overall

R shiny gives very impressive results 'out of the box'. However, a lot of learning is required to match the generic examples in R Shiny to one's own data.

Beauty

The tool provides very clear visualisations with almost limitless customisation options.

Review 2 7 Jul 2020

Usability

R Studio is one of the more intuitive IDEs. It’s easy to navigate through different folders, files and plots. There’s also a useful help section. You will, of course, need to know R.

Overall

R Studio is always my first port of call when beginning a data project as it’s a “one stop shop”. R and R Studio can handle data processing and manipulation, analysis and then also visualisation.

Beauty

The default graphs produced aren’t the prettiest however, it’s very easy to customise them.

Review 3 6 Jul 2020

Usability

Out-of-the-box R is difficult to use if you are not familiar with programming. For non-technical people this would be problematic. R is primarily centred around statistical insights.

Overall

If you can get used to the programming interface and understand the statistical theory, R is a very powerful tool.

Beauty

Basic R graphs are very basic but perform the task adequately. R Shiny is better for presentation of data.

Review 4 14 Jul 2020

Usability

If you are cleaning/preparing your data in R, then you have the knowledge to use R's graphics packages. If not, then it would be a steep learning curve to use R just for its graphics.

Overall

For experienced R users, there is little need to go elsewhere for statistical and graphical needs. Learning R takes time, so it's a long term investment, not a quick fix.

Beauty

With R's multiple graphics packages, you have unlimited access to graphic capabilities constrained only by ones imagination and technical coding skills. Every aspect of every graph can be controlled.

Review 1 28 Jun 2020

Usability

As a novice Python user, I found I could learn in an hour how to make a couple of basic graphs. It will take a bit of memorising to remember the forms, which are different for different graph types.

Overall

This will be a really useful tool to quickly generate visualisations without leaving the coding environment, once you are familiar with the language.

Beauty

Produced professional looking graphs quickly with basic skills and the examples in the gallery look great.

Review 2 5 Jul 2020

Usability

It has quite a steep learning curve, and the docs are not always great, but the main devs will usually respond quickly to queries via Twitter or StackOverflow, so support is available.

Overall

A very powerful and flexible library with good Pandas integration. I've previously had issues with compatibility between versions, but its now much more stable. Well worth taking the time to learn.

Beauty

Default plot styles are attractive. It is very flexible so with some effort/programming knowledge you can customize almost all aspects of a plot to suit your needs.

Review 3 15 Jul 2020

Usability

Bokeh is the default library for interactive data visualisation in Python.

Bokeh has a power server feature for stand explanatory data analysis but also a smooth integration to jupyter notebooks which makes it easy to use during explanatory data analysis.

Beauty

Bokeh has a vast selection of Glyphs so there are unlimited possibilities on visualisation

Review 1 4 Jul 2020

Usability

Intuitive layout and user journey. Good for users who have used Microsoft Excel (and Power Query) may find it familiar layout. Not available on macOS.

Overall

Good for creating simple dashboards with basic charts. Nice user interactivity between visuals and hierarchical drill down abilities. Can connect to many different data sources.

Beauty

Good range of basic visuals (and can download more from online), but perhaps not quite as aesthetic as some Tableau visuals.

Review 2 15 Jul 2020

Usability

Power BI is quite intuitive and easy to use. It has a Python and R integration also but it is limited

Overall

Power BI is Microsoft's dashboard creating software. There are significant limitations still in the software like number of points on scatter plots or visuals that display lines and points.

Beauty

There is a limited amount of dashboards that you can create

Review 1 28 Jun 2020

Usability

Really easy to use. Instantly see the changes you are making and see previews on different screen sizes.

Overall

Limited in what visuals you can make, and you need to pay to remove branding and keep your data and visuals private. A couple of other quirks like the map not showing when you download the visual.

Beauty

Looks really good and good flexibility

Review 2 6 Jul 2020

Usability

Easy to understand layout, with useful pop-up help guides that I appreciated as someone new to using vis tools. It was fun and interesting to explore different techniques without getting overwhelmed.

Overall

Lots of options in the free version but there are limitations such as branding and privacy. I had issues exporting in the survey option, but I have heard there is a work around by using story editor.

Beauty

These are simple designs that are engaging and fun to interact with. I would be interested to see what the differences are in the paid version to manipulate the design templates.

Review 3 6 Jul 2020

Usability

Easy to use, clear layout and handy that can easily switch between data (and selections to visualise) and preview of visual.

Overall

Good level of basic customisation but does have some limitations. Has nice feature of creating 'stories' which is great for data story telling and guising end users through your data visualisations.

Beauty

Visuals are really slick and has nice functionality of being able to 'play' visuals to show how the data changes over time.

Review 4 5 Jul 2020

Usability

Definitely has a few quirks but in general is very usable. The main positive over other similar tools on the market (datawrapper for example) is that you can instantly see any changes you have made.

Overall

Although the free account allows you access to 99% of functionality, it does have the drawback of making your data public.

Beauty

You can make very beautiful charts in Flourish and it generally uses good practice in datavis and design as default. With the number of customisation options available you can also make bad charts!

Review 5 11 Jul 2020

Usability

The UI is quite clear. While the charts are very customisable, all the UI elements are well grouped and highlighted when necessary, help is contextual, activities are intuitive.

Overall

Great tool to explore your data with different visualisations. A possible drawback is that you can't manipulate your data once uploaded (you can edit it and filter it, but not change its shape).

Beauty

Generated charts are quite nice, there are sensible color palettes included, simple animations are provided, and the ability to create presentations is a nice addition.

Review 6 30 May 2022

Beauty

Looks clean and professional but does not allow for much custom design

Overall

Great if you need to produce a volume of visualisations at pace

Usability

Really easy to get started because of all the pre-built template - but the constraints of the templates can be frustrating

Review 1 6 Jul 2020

Usability

Tableau is intuitive to use to produce various visuals and dashboards. Tool does not require a lot of coding knowledge in order to provide intended visualisations.

Overall

Tool is relativity easy to use for building dashboards and maintainable visualisations and has supportive online community. However, to produce a more complex/creative visuals might not be as easy.

Beauty

UI of the tool is intuitive and allows user to create quickly basic visuals. On the other hand, a more bespoke visuals might require "visual hacks".

Review 2 6 Jul 2020

Usability

For what it does, it's pretty good. Its drag and drop features are particularly good and intuitive to use - you drag and drop to preview a set of data, or to create a chart, or to customise it.

Overall

As a newbie in vis I appreciated the intuitive UI for exploring data and visualisations. At least as a starting tool, it seems like a good one-stop app for data prep, analysis, vis and publishing.

Beauty

Clean layout, with good central space in which to create chart, and data fields and customisation features to hand without cluttering the workspace.

Review 3 29 Jul 2020

Usability

Does not work with Linux. Not intuitive for the novice/beginner user.

Overall

I used Tableau Public not Desktop so that may have affected the experience. I received a lot of emails once signing up for an account for this data vis tool, it felt like being spammed.

Review 1 28 Jun 2020

Usability

Seriously easy to get your data in and get started. Instant results make experimenting easy. Helpful output formats.

Overall

This isn't the most swish package but it is so quick to get data in and see results that it's a super useful tool, especially for exploratory data analysis.

Beauty

Not nearly as pretty as a lot of the others, but the default colour palettes are inoffensive. Some customisation is available and you can export svg.

Overall

It does what it says on the can - in a colourful and easily communicated way.

Beauty

Functional - Supports Big Bold use of Colour. The finer points of the dendrogram were lost in a large dataset.

Review 4 6 Jul 2020

Usability

Very easy to get started, loading data and making basic charts. Ability to experiment with different charts on the same data is very good. Not always clear what the options mean.

Overall

This is a very good tool for those who are not familiar with visualisation. The ease of creating something useful is impressive. I like how there is a HTML snippet available to cut and paste.

Beauty

Charts look very good without labelling. Labelling is somewhat random and large data set with many values results in overlapping and unreadable. If the chart could zoom-in it would solve this issue.

Review 5 6 Jul 2020

Usability

Easy to use. You just need to import your data, select your preferred visualisation and the relevant dimensions.

Overall

RAWGraphs is a good starting point when approaching a visualisation as it's quick and easy to use and has a good number of available charts.

Beauty

The charts are slightly basic however, with customisation I'm sure you could make them quite "beautiful".

The process is broken down into clear steps and you can quickly get a basic visualisation. Struggled a little bit with Alluvial diagrams, sort function didn't work as expected on numerical data.

Overall

Great, accessible tool. Good starting point to figure out what can be done.

Beauty

I found it pretty uncluttered and easy to understand. Colour coding helped with directions in each step/error flagging.

Usability

Data type is easily defined and process is intuitive

Overall

Creates basic charts quickly

Beauty

Average beauty

Review 3 4 Jun 2021

Usability

The interface is clean and uncluttered and it was easy to navigate back through previous steps or to move forward.

Overall

I found the step by step walk through process easy to follow. It didn't feel overwhelming to create something, and the 4 step buttons along the top of the page showed you where you were in the process

Beauty

The interface for creating isn't super fancy looking but it doesn't need to be! Less is more. My resulting chart looked good and I could control a lot of the detail on the final visualisation.

Review 1 28 Jan 2020

Usability

D3 takes a lot of prior knowledge to use, but it's very powerful.

Overall

Despite usability issues, d3 is such a powerful tool.

Review 2 14 Apr 2020

Usability

Requires a lot of practice to master

Overall

Beauty

If you are able to code it, you can make very nice things!

Review 3 3 Jul 2020

Usability

D3 requires prior knowledges in HTML,CSS and javascript.

Overall

D3 is generic tool. Not really adapted to very specific applications if you to go fast.

Beauty

Possible to customize visualization to a high degree.

Review 4 6 Jul 2020

Usability

As a programmer this tool is more advanced than I am used to but it is not such a far step that I cannot utilise existing skills. For beginners D3 is a very big ask especially of non-technical person.

Overall

Gold standard of visualisation. Vast collection of libraries available for all purposes. Large online community supporting and guiding non-experts.

Beauty

Designs are limited only by the artists imagination.

Review 5 10 Jul 2020

Usability

API: good. Documentation: good. Examples: plenty. However, the learning curve is quite steep; it's split into many packages and quite a few of them assume theoretical knowledge of the desired charts.

Overall

Not for beginners, and it may take a while to integrate it with other frameworks. But immensely powerful.

Beauty

There's no "provided" beauty here; it's up to the developer. But its level of customisation, together with all the examples at https://bl.ocks.org/ and https://observablehq.com/, are a great showcase.

Usability

No coding knowledge is required. There are many tutorials freely available on the internet.

Overall

Qgis is a very good alternative when your organization has no GIS software. I am using QGIS to visualize pre-processing of spatial data.

Beauty

Qgis can allow you to make amazing static maps

Review 2 7 Jun 2021

Usability

QGIS is diverse and user friendly GIS software. Many processing tools are built into the standard release, and many more are available by downloading plugins, it's very flexible.

Overall

Excellent open source software with a large support community. Many tutorials are available online. Only downside I can think of is to a novice GIS user all the options may seem daunting.

Beauty

It’s possible to use a wide range of cartographic tools in QIGS, the options for symbology and labelling are numerous and excellent. Great if you want to make maps without programming.

Usability

You don't need to be able to code, and it is quite quick and easy to learn to use. You can start producing something within an afternoon. Like anything, getting really good with it takes more time.

Overall

It's free and you can produce some great quality stuff quite easily.

Beauty

You'll be starting from scratch (no pre-existing templates), so the beauty of what you produce is up to you!

Review 2 18 Jul 2020

Usability

I personally find it easier to use than many options made specifically for data visualisation because it offers great flexibility for visual expression.

Overall

As a tool for graphic design and technical drawing, it does not offer specialised options for simple data visualisation.

Beauty

Capable of almost anything 2D, It works nicely with drawing tablet as well.

Usability

Relatively easy to use for people comfortable with GUI-based tools, but data filtering is not particularly intuitive.

Its an expensive tool. Not as widely used as e.g. Tableau, while offering similar functionality. Difficult to customise.

Beauty

Quite easy to create attractive charts using presets.

The code, well... is lengthy, more complicated than that in Matplotlib/Seaborn and it runs slower.

Overall

Plotly Express is a Python library for data visualization while Dash is is an app for building web applications. Together, they allow to run interactive visualisations on the web browser!
