# What are the top tools for visualizing big data?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hi G2 community, I’m trying to figure out the best tools for visualizing big data. Our team works with large, complex datasets, and we need dashboards that can handle scale without lagging. Ideally, the right platform should connect to multiple data sources, process high volumes quickly, and still produce visuals that are easy to interpret.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Here are a few <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/data-visualization-tools">data visualization tools</a> I’ve been looking into:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/sap-hana-cloud-2023-07-11/reviews">SAP HANA Cloud</a>: Built for high-performance analytics on massive datasets. How well does it handle visualization compared to traditional BI platforms?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/sisense/reviews">Sisense</a>: Known for managing complex data models while keeping dashboards interactive. Do large enterprises find it powerful enough for cross-department use?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/looker/reviews">Looker</a>: Offers strong integrations and real-time queries with Google Cloud. Does it remain fast when running analytics on really large datasets?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/mongodb-atlas/reviews">MongoDB Atlas</a>: Handles real-time data at scale and integrates with visualization layers. Is it better as a data backbone, or can it stand alone for visualization?</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For those managing big data:</p><ul>
<li>Which platform has given you the most reliable performance at scale?</li>
<li>Do you prioritize processing speed or dashboard flexibility when working with large datasets?</li>
<li>Any tips on avoiding performance issues when visualizing millions of rows of data?</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Thanks for sharing!</p>

&lt;p&gt;I’ve also seen &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.g2.com/products/explo/reviews&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Explo&lt;/a&gt; used to build dashboards directly on live databases. I&#39;m curious if anyone has tested it against larger enterprise tools like Sisense or SAP HANA Cloud.&lt;/p&gt;
