DashboardFox is cloud-based business intelligence and dashboard software from 5000fish, built for teams that create and deliver dashboards and reports to clients, departments, or business units. It is priced by monthly active users (MAU) rather than per seat, so organizations pay for a tier instead of for every login, and accounts that do not sign in are not counted. Row-level security, white-label branding, and custom domains are included in every plan, which…

Additional DetailsA primary pricing consideration is the licensing model: DashboardFox is priced by monthly active users (MAU), not per seat. You pay for a tier, and only users who actually log in count toward it — recipients who view shared or scheduled reports without logging in are excluded. For teams with many occasional or read-only users, this is often more cost-effective than per-seat BI tools. Feature inclusion is also notable: row-level security, white-label branding, custom domains, and unlimited reports and dashboards are standard on every plan, including the $99/month Starter tier. Higher tiers scale capacity (more MAU, concurrent load, larger datasets, FastCache, Server Sync) and support levels rather than unlocking core features. Connecting data sources incurs no cost — there are no per-connector fees and no ETL requirement. Additional factors for buyers: annual billing provides a 20% discount; every plan includes a 7-day trial with no credit card required; discounts are available for nonprofits, education, government, and agencies/resellers; and for teams preferring to avoid subscriptions, a self-hosted perpetual license is available from $4,995, with the first year of upgrades and priority support included.—

We have to calculate most all Lab / Pilot / Proposals sizing and results. The automated calculations in [Excel4apps] is awesome, as once you are familiar with them, it is easy to quickly implement them when needed.

Excel4apps
  • Easy to install and maintain. After the initial installation, there is little involvement by the technical administrators.
  • Cloning production to a test environment does not require any additional setups unlike Oracle EBS which does.
  • Loading data and reporting on this data is handled via EXCEL spreadsheets which is the "language" of our financial users.

Excel4apps
  • It is possible but difficult to retrieve data or set criteria from different module into a single report or retrieve. If it is more user friendly instead of having to create a complex formula to retrieve the data, this function will be utilized more often.
  • It will be nice to have visual (graphs, etc.) report template available
  • It is helpful if we can retrieve data for a range of date, instead of just YTD, PTD etc. and multi-year data all at once for comparison too.

I am not a power user of Excel. So I find Exel4apps a friendlier version of the things that I could do on Excel and making it easier with a magic wand.

Excel4apps is more user friendly and can retrieve data much easier and in a nicer format than Jaspersoft. Qlik Sense is useful and have more visual reporting and dashboard. However, it is usually used for higher level of analyses and review. Yardi is used for specific purpose, which is different than Excel4apps. Excel4apps can pull all the financial data from Oracle, including billing and collections.
