    For data control as it works in the background and identify sensitive data and secures it by encrypting the PHI and PII type of data. Also it is very useful if you need to set rbac for your users within the organisation as it let you control what each user can access and action they can take.

    Great value for the money. Excellent for smaller agencies with multiple projects and teams in a smaller space. We can quickly roll out mobile displays to help with a particular deployment push or monitoring a clients website engagement. It's also useful for showing live data without requiring analytics to run reports from a CRM, etc.

    Usability
    Actifile
    It has been very helpful as it has reduced the number of traditional system and software that is being used and it does the work of 5 softwares in 1. Also it has been useful as I don't have to worry about the number of resources as one admin can help us maintain the data and its policy.

    With a simple interface and available templates, creating basic dashboards is easy. Obviously depending on the data you want to visualize, there may be higher learning curves. That being said, they have a huge amount of integrations and extensible frameworks. If you are using anything made in the past ten years there is an API function or integration that can get it talking to the platform. As such, it's pretty easy to hit the main data points you want and get it on a cheap display in front of your team.

    The support levels vary based on the level of plan that you have but that's to be expected. Virtually everything except the Enterprise plan has basic chat/email support. While they are responsive they are not going to be much assistance in helping you figure out API calls or implementing 3rd party integrations. That is to be expected and the support community can pretty much get you in the right direction if you look.

    Domo is more robust. We do use both because Geckoboard is really easy to show the rest of our team without the need for additional licenses.

    Return on Investment
    Actifile
    • It has been a great addition to the application and software our org usage and the ROI has been great. As it eliminates the multiple app or software to just 1 and it reduces the cost by almost 35 %
    • Operational cost savings as traditional systems or application require lot of manpower in ensuring the same which Actifile does without any additional cost and resources.
    • Do overall it is best fit for the mid sized to large organisations.

    • While we originally used this as an internal IS tool, we eventually have expanded it to be used by nearly every department.
    • Because pricing is monthly, we can grow or decrease our usage based on our current client needs.
    • Because it is low cost and easy to deploy, we can utilize it in place of considerable resources in analytics and reporting by delivering snapshots of data without pulling reports.
