We used Shiny to develop a web application to ingest data from the source system and create interactive dashboards to display the consolidated reports to stakeholders. Users were able to interact with the app. The visuals allowed the business to communicate the insights with necessary people. We could leverage the analytical capability of R to add further value to businesses. We automated multiple processes to save man-hours, published reports across the firm and performed predictive and time series analytics to add value.

Near real-time reporting: When data is changed, visualisations are refreshed rapidly due to the low latency Minimal knowledge to get started: HTML, CSS knowledge isn't necessary Automation: Reports can be automated by following a preset procedural flow Analytical capability: Strong data analytical capability to extract insights Pricing: open source Community support: a lot of documentation, use cases and demos available online

Administrative privileges: need the functionality to provide role wise and rule wise access Limitation in usage: Specific number of hours available for your app in the free version

You can explore new ways to code using Shiny as your regular tool.

For me is an improvement to the experience of coding, the visuals are great and make you feel more comfortable while coding.

Nothing, all about it is great, an all of it for free.

Overall, we had a great experience utilizing Shiny in some of our analytics projects. Limiting its use for the right use cases, we're able to take advantage of its flexibility and relative ease-of-use for R programmers who aren't necessarily good at web development.

I like how Shiny makes app development a whole lot easier for R programmers.

While it's great for building custom data apps, it's not necessarily ideal for BI workflows. It's prohibitively complex for creating simple dashboards. Other than that, there's not much I dislike about Shiny.

Excellent! You can create your own apps, customize to make your work look professional and aesthetic.

This extension of R is a great way to improve your coding skills, and way better with a practical and beautiful interfase.

The tutorial can be more advertised, it is not at first sight.

I enjoy working with Shiny. Well designed, the commands are very simple and intuitive. The incorporation of the web design has helped me a lot to understand how my job might impact to others

We are already familiarized with Shiny. It is in every app I use! Now, managing it for my job, and creating more tools has been amazing. I love how easy it is to develop my codes and the language reduction

I'm not a huge fan of how "hide" it is. R has been always a bit complex for me so, adapting to R, is a bit complicated but worth it once you get familiar with it

When you learn how to code, you can start to improve your work, and this package of R is a great help to apply your knowledge and advance you progress beyond your imagination!

The visuals are beautiful, and it is very intuitive for the ones that start to develop his own apps, and for someone as old as me, it is a tool that help you to gain confident in coding.

It is difficult for me to work the codes online, but with enough practice, you can do what you put your mind!

Excellent! You can improve your data and graphical analysis, making very pro-looking reports.

As a new user of software for coding, Shiny is very helpful with its visual interfase, making very easy to learn.

The organization of the interfase can be confusing at the beginning.

As an addition of R Studio package, Shiny is a great software to create new ways to present data and do a more sophisticated analysis.

Linking your desktop work in a available webpage is a great opportunity to enhance the reach of your work. The interphase helps to all your work flowing.

Linking three softwares (R, RStudio and Shiny) can be troublesome at the beginning.

Its a great app that helps you to increase your knowledge.

I like to use it to improve my skills in coding and create new apps.

Sometimes it bugs outs and do not show how to solve it.

It is easy to create a minimally working unit. It is fun and extremely useful to create interactive figures for collaborators.

Figuring out how to publish the Shiny application online was difficult at first. But it has gotten a lot easier with the integration with RStudio.
