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. ----- ### "Shiny has been a day to day problem solution" — 5.0/5 > **Guadalupe** | *14 April 2022* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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 > > **Cons**: 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 > > 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 ----- ### "Great tool for developing highly-custom data apps" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 June 2022* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how Shiny makes app development a whole lot easier for R programmers. > > **Cons**: 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. > > 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. ----- ### "Code like a pro\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mariana** | *30 November 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For me is an improvement to the experience of coding, the visuals are great and make you feel more comfortable while coding. > > **Cons**: Nothing, all about it is great, an all of it for free. > > You can explore new ways to code using Shiny as your regular tool. ----- ### "Excellent\!" — 5.0/5 > **Veronica** | *30 April 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This extension of R is a great way to improve your coding skills, and way better with a practical and beautiful interfase. > > **Cons**: The tutorial can be more advertised, it is not at first sight. > > Excellent\! You can create your own apps, customize to make your work look professional and aesthetic. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1027386/shiny?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1027386/shiny) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
