"It is really astonishing how easy is to implement good looking dashboards. I am very pleased with the software and my experience with it has been top-notch. DSP is well designed, intuitive, easy to use and yet very powerful. The charts are professional, colorful and provide lots of functionality programmatically. Frankly, DSP made my job easier and funnier"
