What do you like best about Toucan?
Toucan is a tool that is very clean for performing simple analyses. You can quickly integrate data, make some modifications, and create a dynamic and effective report.
Understanding the tool is quite easy and intuitive for both a designer and a user.
The responsiveness of customer support is very pleasant.
The UX/UI interface of Toucan has been quite appreciable since version 3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Toucan?
The simplicity that Toucan offers for use by people who do not necessarily have training in this area is a downside for me, as I have been accustomed for several years to building dashboards:
- The datasets
The logic of creating datasets to manipulate data is quite good. However, it can quickly become cumbersome and difficult to adapt when there are many modifications or many datasets. In other tools, the ability to create variables or to make datasets interact lightens this aspect considerably.
The real problem, in my opinion, remains the calculation of dynamic rates (which I have had to do many times). I have several filters in Toucan, and therefore the rate must be recalculated each time the user changes a filter, which forces me to tinker with the datasets.
The solution, initially, would be to be able to perform in the construction of a graph, for example, SUM(Field1) / AVG(field2).
- The graphs
The choice of options for each graph is a bit limited, but it's still OK. The problem here is that we cannot customize the display of graphs enough based on what is displayed.
For example, I would like a story that displays 3 sectors.
I understand that this would make the use of Toucan more complex, but it would allow optimizing the UX/UI part of certain graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
