What is DisplayR?

DisplayR  provides two functionalities in a single app.
* Complete Data Science Platform
* Comprehensive Reporting Platform

You create online dashboards and export to PowerPoint & Excel. Since it is cloud based, you have access from anywhere in any browser.

The workflow in DisplayR is similar to other software of this genre.

It does all of the above in one step. Well, Power BI can also do this as R is integrated with it and Power BI is also integrated with reporting services. Report update is a nice feature as you can start with a partial set and finish off after importing the whole set. Future updating can be automatic. More importantly, DisplayR has the  'no need for code' slogan.

Here are some main features:

• Quality Control and Reproducibility
• Easy updating and automation
• Simple to create and manipulate variables
• Statistical testing based on data type

You can have an app for free (DisplayR Public) that does a few things, but if you need more advanced features you need to buy DisplayR Professional ($2399/Yr) or DisplayR Enterprise(available on request)
