Data visualization - a simple example
Keen IO - Pros• Easy to integrate into existing projects• Free plan gives to 50,000 event entries• Also built for larger companies, with up to 100 billion event entry
options available• Support for Javascript, PHP, iOS, Andriod, cURL and more.• Data visualization is more powerful than I showed• Good documentation
Keen IO - Cons• It's a startup - could die off• Have to place Keen IO function calls in all data creation functions• An event collector isn't very unique• To take advantage of data visualization you need a big event base
