Using Data Visualization Tools To Create Sample POCs - Jolicharts

Jolichart is another web based visualization tool. The interface is simple and uncluttered. Options include several chart types including mapping and also video embedding in dashboard. The dashboards are pretty easy to arrange, with interactive chart placing and resizing. In addition to uploading data manually, you can connect to a database or use the Jolicharts API to automatically send data to a chart datasource within Jolicharts.

The dashboards can be shared with private links and has also social sharing option. I personally found Jolichart to be better than clicdata. Its simple, fast and accessible from anywhere.

Pricing:

PRO – 29 Euro/month – 10Gb storage , upto 5 contributors, sharing with private URL available

Enterprise – 69 Euro/month – 250Gb storage , unlimited contributors, sharing with private URL available
