BrightGauge vs Flexmonster Pivot Table & Charts Component

Likelihood to Recommend

Any data-driven business that requires metrics and performance benchmarks, that need to drill into data for analysis, should use Bright Gauge. If you don't require data that can be displayed in a meaningful way, and that's not important to your business, then this product is probably not for you; otherwise, it's great.

Fantastic product to embed in any SaaS solution for reporting and data exports. Excellent performance, ability to customize fields and tons of other features out of the box that makes it a well-rounded tool that is easy to use. To top it off their support is amazing for answering technical questions quickly and they provide great examples to learn how to interact with the code. We are very happy with our choice to use Flexmonster!

Cons

Support quality has decreased since BrightGauge was acquired by Continuum then ConnectWise.
It would be helpful to be able to change multiple similar gauges at one time, as opposed to individually.
Reporting system could be improved. At the moment, I am not comfortable scheduling reports to be sent to customers.

Usability

BrightGauge 9.5

Based on 2 answers

Usability is BrightGauge's strength. Granting the ability of virtually any user to be able to create a dashboard is incredibly valuable. If an organization very simple and straight forward reporting needs then BrightGauge is a perfect fit for them. Connecting to the dataset we used was very quick and easy and I imagine it would be the same for any major data source you would like to pull from.

We did not need to use BrightGauge's support for the entire time that we used it. Best support is always the one that isn't needed because nothing breaks.

We looked very briefly at Solar Winds, but due to Connectwise the reporting was not very accurate and was conflicted.

ROI can be difficult to measure specifically on a tool like this, but quicker, easier access to information is key.
Decrease workload and time in creation of reports has definitely created an ROI.
