		elliott34 on Oct 20, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Pandas 0.15 has been released we've shifted to plot.ly for visualization and moved away from expensive BI tools. We set up python/pandas scripts on CRON to output realtime data to our local plot.ly web server, which makes a local copy of the data and updates the chart. You simply embed the chart as an iframe where ever want internally, and BOOM, you've got a real time chart (beautiful I may add). www.plot.ly

$60 per user per month is a bit steep...

Considering enterprise BI software/platforms these days can costs upwards of 4k per month, this is roundoff error.

I agree, just doesn't fit the projects I wish to use it for.
