If you have a dedicated tools admin - Planhat is super customizable. You need reliable data sets to build off of and a vision for how you want to visualize your data sets (you start with a true blank slate and can build ANYTHING - which is too much for some)

most customisable. The newer challenger which is surprisingly nice to use, clean, and powerful. Requires once again a lot of tech knowledge however

2

Data Infrastructure Prerequisite

medium implementation

Planhat requires clean, reliable data sets before implementation. Companies without mature data infrastructure may need to invest in data cleanup and integration work before the platform can deliver value.
