So I do BI/analytics at a big company with a team of 6 people, here is my take. We need something like this aimed at business analysts with little to no coding experience and we need it to be priced in the $100-300 per year, not more. Such tool would compete with the MS Office package and would be great. Most of the stuff is available in various open source packages, it would be about putting all together in 1 easy desktop install, adding a nice gui interface on top of various functions (like ipywidgets but more high level). For instance, we could totally add a basic gui on top of altair to do some basic charting, that basic charting is 80% of business needs when it comes to explorative analysis.
- mahmoudimus 7y agoThank you for leaving this feedback. Essential for product development.
- akrymski 7y agoisn't that tableau.com ?
- kfk 7y agoHow is that tableau.com? Tableau only does visualization and a very small subset of it, business analytics is a lot more than visually appealing dashboards

- kvlr 7y agoWhat you're describing is close to our long-term vision for the platform. Having it be easy to use for non programmers but with the ability to customise things and always "peek under the hood" to see how things are built. Our GitHub and S3/GCS Components (see it in action in my launch post) are actually just thin layers that execute code from other notebooks and we plan to offer this ability to create custom components like this in the future.
