9 Spokes vs Datadeck

9 Spokes

Good for letting your investors, employees and others know at a glance how your company is doing. The interface is clean and organized well. I just wish more of the app's functionality was available for testing and implementation. "Coming soon" is not really encouraging when we already have been waiting for a year or more.

Datadeck

DataDeck is an excellent solution for those who need to analyze Google Analytics daily. You can have an exclusive deck for an exclusive GAt account and select the reports and instances needed. No need to go deep into the GA menus anymore. Just pick the info you need and that specify data will be easily available. We feel that sharing the dashboard with our clients does not work well once, sometimes, have difficulties to understand the dashboard and data.

Pros

Grouping several apps in one place for easy viewing.
Clean dashboard interface that looks uncluttered when viewing several apps at once.
Setting up the apps is a breeze when the platform supports them.

Cons

Integration with apps that are listed. Some of them are not supported yet and it seems the wait is taking longer than I'd like.
iPhone support. It would be nice to have this in the app store. Not available as of 04/25/2018.

We think the DataDeck dashboard can be a little easier to organize
For first time users, they can get lost with all the functionality DataDeck offers

Support

9 Spokes5.0

Based on 1 answer

Support was helpful in the beginning but no longer needed because I didn't use the software as much. The experience that I did have with support was very friendly but not enough to give a good review. If the support team was called for initial setup, video chat or messenger app was used.

Alternatives Considered

I actually chose QuickBooks (currently using) and Method (used for a month) before deciding that 9 Spokes is just good for looking at a few apps in one place. I'll keep checking back with them to see if they have improved. I wouldn't be surprised if 9 Spokes improves their product within the next 6-12 months.

DataDeck definitely makes the reading and analyzing data easier than accessing the GA dashboard.

Based on 1 answer

Access control capabilities are OK. Ease of sharing is great because the app design is made special for that purpose. I haven't dove that far into the app enough to generate reports. Formatting is very flexible because 9 Spokes allows the user to customize how the info is displayed. Security or lack thereof is not a factor for me so I am unable to give feedback on security.

As I mentioned before, the sharing with our clients is a little difficult because they are not ready for this kind of data, even if we try to simplify as much as we can.

Data Integration

9 Spokes5.0

Based on 1 answer

I gave 9 Spokes a five because the range of data sources is minimal. Ease of merging data from disparate sources is pretty good for the ones they do support. I just want to have more apps available for arranging on their nice looking interface. Perhaps next year my review for 9 Spokes will be better than 5

The connectivity and range of data source are very good. I basically found the main apps (sources of data) we use to be available to to integrate to their dashboard
