Reviews of Geckoboard
Easy dashboard solution.
Comments: The experience with Geckoboard will depend on an organization's specific needs and requirements, and it is recommended to carefully evaluate the tool to determine if it is a good fit for their data visualization needs. The ease of use and customization options, make it simple to create visually appealing and informative dashboards. Real-time updates and integration with multiple data sources are also highly valued features.Geckoboard can be expensive compared to other dashboard tools, and that it may have limited data storage capacity and data manipulation features.
Pros:
It is possible to create dashboards that automatically refresh. The people in the office love it because they don't have to look for a report in our CRM. The people in the warehouse don't have access to a computer so they love it. It keeps them on task and allows them to plan.
Cons:
Some of the integrations do not have enough support. We're working on the documentation for pushing our own data in, but it's a little hit-and-miss, but it seems to be going ok.
Alternatives Considered:
A cool looking dashboard creator
Comments: Mostly good.
Pros:
Definitely how the dashboards look. The information can be seen in a compelling way, which is super important considering that sometimes you need to communicate hard to understand KPIs. Dashboards are easy to create and deploy, there are some very pretty prebuilt ones. Another positive thing is how the Geckoboard Team constantly adds new data sources to increase compatibility.
Cons:
When I was using it, the integration with Google Analytics was relatively limited, unfortunately, I needed to add a calculated metric on the dashboard and Geckoboard didn't allow me to do it.
We have used Geckoboard and its good, but lack some connectors. More connectors to Office365 thanks
Comments: Good, Always very helpful support. For now we are not use it, but we will use it again if there are more connectors to Office365, The platform we use a lot
Pros:
Easy to use and looking good without lot of Work. Give it 10 min and you are up and running. And some days if you want to use more advance features.
Cons:
More connectors and also lack of custom data to extract. But I think its not only a Geckobord problem. Its lack of API information from the sources?
Time Saving Efficiency and Motivation
Comments:
It has been a fantastic experience. I am not tech savvy at all and [sensitive content hidden]
at Geckoboard made setting everything up very easy. He put time into understanding why I wanted a dashboard system, how I wanted to use it, and how Geckoboard could help me accomplish what I set out to do.
A big goal for me was to not have to change how I already did things. I didn't want to add more work/steps to what I already did in order to have a dashboard system. This is HUGE for me and he/Geckoboard was able to make it happen.
My journey to having a dashboard system for my company started out as a very frustrating one. Other companies I reached out to for assistance during their free trial period were not very helpful or were just flat out unresponsive. I had quite the opposite experience with Geckoboard and I couldn't be happier.
Pros:
I have been tracking sales and commissions through Google Sheets for 5 years now. After getting my sheets dialed in, saving me tons of time, I was still spending significant time each week updating our sales boards in the office. Geckoboard has automated everything and did it using the sales tracking Google Sheets I was already using. This has saved me hours each week. The boards are visually appealing and easy to understand. I can now also have this information in front of our entire company at all times, on their phones or computers, instead of having to be in the office to see the boards. Agents are competitive. They love to see how we are doing as a company and where they fall on the leaderboards. This has provided motivation and healthy competition within the company. I am already seeing many more possibilities I can utilize Geckoboard for to make our company better. I am excited to implement them.
Cons:
Nothing to mention at this time.
Easy and Simple for our SME
Comments: Ye always been a solid bit of kit for us. Would recommend to anyone trying to build consitency and project business performance.
Pros:
It's really easy for us to project those key metrics that run our business. We are by no means tech guys and it's the spearhead data that helps managers continually improve
Cons:
On the roadmap but duplicating dashboards would have been helpful early days. Some of the widget creation is a bit repetitive especially of data moves in an excel spreadsheet. Minor moan! For us as well we could do with a data connection to Zoho.

Hi Dan, Thanks so much for your review - really appreciated. Absolutely get the need for duplicating dashboards, it's very much on our radar. We've shared your other comments around widget creation from a spreadsheet and the need for Zoho with our product team for consideration. Thanks again :)
