BrightGauge vs. Flexmonster Pivot Table & Charts Component

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!

• Near real-time data in dashboards is a game changer for decision making
• Easy of setup of gauges, dashboards and reports makes the product versatile
• Automated scheduled reporting increases visibility and reduces workload.

• 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 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.

Checks all the boxes! Easy to use, great out of the box feature set and fantastic support team

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.

Quick response to questions and feedback, excellent documentation for learning about the product and tons of examples to leverage.

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.
