It has different varieties of visualisation like histogram, scatter plots, etc that can help the user to showcase data in different forms. **What do you dislike about ROOT?** Since it's a framework, it needs a lot of storage and other resources to work in a system. The UI can also be improved to a large extent. However, analysis of data is accurate and very helpful. **What problems is ROOT solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has helped in analyzing huge data and portraying in a meaningful way. Various visualisation techniques helps in showing your data from different angles and understanding it altogether. ### 4. Best Software for Analysis **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Muskan V. | HR Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2023 **What do you like best about ROOT?** Root is one of the best framework software for big data processing gives the best functionalities with storage and visualisation which visualize data in many different formats **What do you dislike about ROOT?** ROOT consumes lots of storage but whereas, its best to handle more data and visualize data in many different formats **What problems is ROOT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Root Analysis is is very helpfull for understanding and to solve problem. Helps to fine the errors and describes problem determine primary cause and helps us to identify solutions. ### 5. Recommend root to a friend. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Akash C. | Technology Associate ( HPC & Linux ), Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2023 **What do you like best about ROOT?** Everything is best about this so I recommend this to my friend. **What do you dislike about ROOT?** As of now, there is nothing dislike about the ROOT. **What problems is ROOT solving and how is that benefiting you?** In high-energy physics experiments, vast amounts of data are generated from particle collisions. ROOT provides efficient tools for storing, managing, and analyzing this data, enabling researchers to extract meaningful insights from the massive datasets produced by experiments like those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). ### 6. Great opensource tool for your analysis work **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Javeria R. | UI/UX Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2023 **What do you like best about ROOT?** ROOT has a built-in graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to visualize data in many different formats, including histograms, scatter plots, and 3D visualizations. It also has open-GL capabilities for 3D models of equipment. **What do you dislike about ROOT?** While ROOT is a powerful software for scientific research, it has a steep learning curve with limited documentation. It also needs memory management specially with large datasets. **What problems is ROOT solving and how is that benefiting you?** Root has provided great analysis for the data we worked on for medical industry dealing with dementia. It helped us visualize the early detection of dementia and propose the next steps based on analysis ### 7.
