Data is better analyzed
Comments: It allowed me to run survey analytics quickly helping to uncover valuable information to improve marketing strategies and drive customer interest.
Pros:
The software made my job easier because it is very powerful where the survey data is analyzed in a more detailed way and with better statistics represented that are easier to understand. It saves me time creating reports with the collected data, being more efficient and providing better designed and implemented research projects to stand out from the competition and improving the low points that can be seen with the information provided.
Cons:
I felt that your learning curve is too long to learn how to use all the software properly.
Alternatives Considered:
Brilliant tool, can't imagine life without it anymore
Comments: Since starting my own consulting business, Displayr has been an indispensible tool. It had effectively replaced the data processing and marketing science departments i used to rely on when working for a larer firm. It's also allowed me to continue to work in R, but dramtically improved productivity. It contains all of the majr functions I wish I had access to while working for a larger company. Remarkably well designed product.
Pros:
If I had to pick one things about this tool that stands out, it is the elegant design of its advanced analytics functions. With a high degree of customization and sophistication that I don't see any many other tools geared for survey analysis, as well as compelling visualization that consistently wow clients, it substantially improves the speed and quality of my work.
Cons:
The only major challenge with this software is its processing speed when you start working with large data-sets and/or large analyses with many complicated visuals. You can buy additional server time, but I wish there was an option to upgrade the machine instance on an ad-hoc basis as well.

Thanks Kenneth! We really appreciate the feedback. Rather than giving an option to upgrade the machines we are: 1. Investigating upgrading the machines for all users. 2. Focused on identifying exactly what is causing the slowness and fixing that.
Displayr-A good innovative product that can help enhance the productivity of Data Visualisation.
Comments: All in all, I will rate it 7/10 for the data analysis and it's data visualization properties.
Pros:
I liked it's Data Visualisation and Data Analysis properties. It can aid in generating data tables, report population at a higher speed as compared to other software like Microsoft PPT.
Cons:
The only con that I find in Dispalyr is that as it is online software, so many times there is a lag in speed. If that can be resolved then it is great.

Thank you Angad. We are constantly working on the speed, so hopefully it will one day get to the point where you don't notice this!
Increased report quality in reduced time
Comments: Overall, DisplayR has vastly improved our reporting quality and its seamless integration with our survey software has enabled us to spend more time drilling down into the extra detail clients need from our reports. The live dashboard capability has also been a great addition to our project deliverables.
Pros:
The key feature for us is the capability to produce reports more efficiently whilst also removing the element of human error which comes with manually inputting data into reports. The ease of which we can produce updated, filterable reports with each new wave of survey data has enhanced our output and provided more capabilities for our clients to receive quick turnaround and tailored reports.
Cons:
It is a bit fiddly to produce perfectly branded client reports - fonts, colour, chart styles and general layout guidelines are not easy to replicate from PPT into DisplayR, and sometimes the export to PPT isn't as desired. We can sometimes experience load time issues with larger data sets.
Game changing product
Comments: I love it. When I was hired to develop an assessment practice, I immediately made the case to purchase Displayr because I knew what kind of reports I could get from it. Clients love our reports and find them easy to read and interpret. It's been a huge help in making this practice a success.
Pros:
The flexibility of this platform is amazing. I can connect it to most any data source I want, including direct connections via API to my survey platform. The ability to create, recode, combine or separate variables means I can do much more in this platform than any "home" platform my data is coming from. It's comparable to Tableau in many ways.
Cons:
There are only two things that, for my purposes, this software could use. First, data source filtering. You can filter, but at the "widget" level which can be tedious. A filter at the data source would be a massive improvement. Second, some more flexibility in table design. I would love to be able to add the columns I want freely; as it is, you can't really do that and sometimes I have to "cheat" and make two tables I combine later in PowerPoint.

Thanks Michael! You can filter the data source. Select the filter in the Data Editor, right-click on the selected cases' row numbers, and delete them. We are actively working on the table design side of things and you can expect to see a lot more functionality like this in the coming months.
Extremely high recommendation for Displayr, without reservation
Comments: Exceptional, what I have wanted for data set up, analysis and reporting all my working life. I have come across and even trialed other packages which have promised great things, but never fully delivered. Displayr does deliver it all and does exactly what it promises. The development team also take on board any comments or requests, so it is evolving dynamically, not standing still.
Pros:
Two things - its comprehensiveness - it includes all the analysis types and tools we need and more. And secondly the ease of use and operation, which is spearheaded by superb training upfront and by ongoing support which is second to none. Any problemsm or something you cannot work out how to do - just ask.
Cons:
As of yet there is honestly nothing! And I am not easy to please!
The best ever Data processing/analytics & Visualization software for Survey based research
Comments: Can easily move data processing and reporting work in-house eliminating the need for data processing vendors, allowing faster turn-around, saving cost, controlling the quality, and helping with keeping your data secure within your organization. Their support team is simply amazing. They are very knowledgeable and are able to provide timely and extremely relevant solutions.
Pros:
1) It allows for creating Data tables, performing weighting, performing open-end coding, creating editable ppt reports, and creating online interactive dashboards. 2) You can set up your studies while you are collecting the data and can quickly export the results as soon as you are done with data collection. Allows offline as well as real-time data connection with popular data collection platforms.3) It has a lot of additional useful data analytics and visualization features that are mindblowing and very easy to use. 4) The interactive dashboard capabilities are extremely helpful for end clients.5) Allows for standardization of report templates, allows high reusability, provides controls to researchers, and cuts dependency on special data engineering teams or data processing vendors.
Cons:
One of the useful features that could come in handy for integrating repeatable solutions may need knowledge about "R" which can be difficult for a researcher to understand and only can be worked by those who have technical programming knowledge. However, we easily managed to avoid R code for our regular work and have been using Displayr for more than 2 years and worked across 100+ research studies, some of them were huge and complex but still easily managed it within Displayr.
Powerful Tool with Great Customer Support!
Comments: My experience with DisplayR and the customer support team has been extremely positive.
Pros:
I like the ease with which I can generate / manipulate tables, run various analysis, and create visualizations to uncover insights from my data. I like the variety of analytical tools and the ability to use R code. Finally, I appreciate how responsive and knowledgeable the customer support team is.
Cons:
Sometimes there is a lag in speed. Also, it would be great if I can apply multiple filters on a series of pages rather than on each page one by one.
Displayr Review
Comments: Overall it has been a fun journey easing a lot of our manual task.
Pros:
1) User-friendly interphase2) Interlinked modifications3) Easy publications 4) Minor modifications is needed after we publish.
Cons:
The interface goes slow at times when there are too many users using it.

Review Displayr
Comments: My overall experience with DisplayR was good, i have learned it in a few weeks and i helped my team to learn it too
Pros:
We can do a lot of anaylsis and automate our reports and dashboard without using like power BI
Cons:
We don’t have a big choice in terms of visualization and analysis, only one licence per user
A comprehensive data analysis platform
Comments: Very satisfied, meets all my analysis/reporting requirements
Pros:
Ease of getting started, creating output
Cons:
Steep learning curve for some of the advanced features
All in one market research data analysis software
Comments: Our experience with Displayr has been excellent. It is what technology should be - something that improves working processes, efficiency and outputs. It has a depth of features which means as a user you can continually develop your skills. The support team are outstanding if you ever need help.
Pros:
All in one - data preparation, analysis and visualisation are integrated and easy.Enables us to complete our own data analysis rather than be dependent on others. Means we can complete better analysis, much quicker.The online help, webinars and support team are great.It feels more up to date than other business software.
Cons:
Nothing - Displayr is continually being improved and this addresses issues over time. Like much software, to get the best results, it's about your ability to learn and adapt to it, as much as it is about the software itself.

Thanks Marcus!
Powerful, intuitive. Great support team.
Comments: Displayr has so many ways to display and analyze our data (employee populations and focus group results), but if I need a type of table that is somehow not there (only happens occasionally), it is easy and quick to customize everything with R. It's easy for new analysts on our team to catch on due to the Powerpoint-like environment, responsive support team, and intuitive interface. It is a bit pricey, but in my opinion, we get what we pay for!! We are always growing and changing how we do our analyses as we discover more and more of the power of Displayr.
Pros:
The interface is so intuitive - dragging and dropping, right-clicking, etc. There are so many helpful capabilities (text categorization, statistics, etc). The support team is amazing - I always get detailed, meticulous responses. These have really helped me better understand and use Displayr.
Cons:
Sometimes, there are weird things we have to do to display things how we want. For example, I can't freeze the row titles column in a table, so I have to screenshot the row titles and paste it over the table. However, these are few and far between and the support team always helps me find the easiest way to accomplish what I need to do.
Displayr feedback
Comments: Displayr really helped us to push forward our research and increase the value of what clients receive. It became integral part of our process in a short period of time and we are always looking into the ways it could push our analysis more.
Pros:
I like the easy manipulation of variables in the data tree. It works a treat especially for small to mid-size data sets. The dashboard function has also been transformative for our work. And whenever I need help the staff is super helpful and quick to respond. Although most times I can find what I need on help.displayr.com
Cons:
Honestly, there isn't much I can complain about. It would be nice to have a bit more control over the dashboards. For example to be able to set the logic when applying multiple filters (and//or) rather than having to group filters accordingly. As well as being able to apply multiple filters on the whole dashboard when exporting it. It can discourage people from using it when they have to apply the filter on each page individually before exporting.
Interactive dashboard for your data needs
Comments: It has been good. We are still pitching it to clients and working on it.
Pros:
It’s interactive, if you understand it once - it can be used in a very useful manner.Customer care is supportive so much!
Cons:
Some complicated features of charts or how it’s so slow.Each command takes some time to load - this is the worst drawback of displayr.

Hi Nancy, Thank you for your review. I appreciate that with big and complicated documents, it can just feel painfully slow, but we're very focused on it. For example, at the moment, we've got a team of seven engineers just focused on tracking reliable data on how long every operation takes for every user at any time. We're also working hard on the visualizations.
All-in-one data analysis software
Pros:
DisplayR does great in handling survey data. I like how it is able to integrate R and JavaScript in data management and visualization.
Cons:
I wish there are more options for formatting the elements in a slide. Also, I deeply wish that the speed be improved.
DisplayR built for researchers
Comments: The primary business problem is how to conduct rapid analysis and reporting. I frequently am crunched for time on projects. Having a strong analytical engine and reporting interface allow for rapid report development.
Pros:
The depth and breadth of the analytics and reporting options. This was clearly a package designed with time crunched researchers in mind.
Cons:
In some cases it can seem overwhelming because of so many available options. At times I feel like I am going down a rabbit hole. With that said, they do offer some powerful training tools which can guide the learning process.

Thanks Greg. We're always thinking about how to reduce the effort of users to choose the features they need. Hopefully, you've found Search. We've got quite a few things coming that will help a lot with visualizations, as we think that's where the biggest pain point is in finding options, but please tell us more if it isn't!
Displayr is a great for data visualisation and dashboards
Comments: Displayr fits very well with the survey software we use and with a bit of practise and research produces good looking and functional dashboard for clients.
Pros:
Very easy to produce professional looking dashboards. There are many options for filtering and control. Displayr is intuitive to use.
Cons:
Sometimes don't have as much control for visualisations as in excel say but minor issue
Complete product
Comments: Very positive
Pros:
- Power Point Structure- Possibility to update report with layout on power point-Lots of vizualisation / analyses-Support very responsive and competent
Cons:
-Filtering system is a pain... would be good to be able to "change filters"

Hi Myriam, Thanks for your review. There are a couple of ways to change filters: 1. You can click on the green dropdown on the right of the screen to change. 2. You can edit any filter in the Data Sets tree (bottom left). If that's not what you mean, please contact us with more information.
An analyst's review
Comments: Overall been very happy, and it has opened up pathways of opportunity for our company that otherwise wouldn't have been there.
Pros:
Easy to use and learn the functionality, and the service team is always available to help and provide very detailed and helpful responses.
Cons:
I have discovered a few feature bugs that caused problems with my dashboards. But when i showed the problem to customer service, they either showed me another approach, or sent the bug to IT to fix (which they actually did)
I'm trying to move all my clients to Displayr
Comments: As the title states, we are trying to move all clients over to Displayr for reporting. We can pull data from our studies in real time and develop the dashboard/report while in data collection rather than waiting for all data to be collected before we begin reporting. This has cut weeks off of our project times.
Pros:
This is a very thorough data visualization/dashboarding product. We can run any type of analysis desired and it offers a host of powerful visualizations.
Cons:
There are two things to point out here. First, there is a very steep learning curve. It runs on Java and r code. Second, it is memory intense and can bog down computers at times.
