Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review It's great for the accumulation and assimilation of various data formats to be channeled into a single end-point, whether that be a table or a report. It reminds me so much of SPLUNK in that regard. The application is also very easy to use and has been configured in such a way that it is appealing and productive for both novice and expert users. I was able to pick up the basis after a solitary day's training. We've mainly used it to create bespoke dashboards and visuals, thereby allowing for effective report writing. This was a major consideration from Senior Management before the application was purchased. There haven't been any real drawbacks with the software thus far.
Read full review Pros User self-help - the video tutorials and a robust publicly accessible knowledgebase. Geckoboard can aggregate data from a number of other apps into a singular dashboard. Sleek, dark UI. Read full review Easy to use with a very user-friendly interface, making onboarding with the tool a lot easier. Able to mash up/integrate data from different sources and file types which helps a lot with consolidation. Good customer service/support that makes solving problems/issues a lot faster. Read full review Cons A bit more flexibility in the number of columns would be nice. Ability to scale to mobile device (web). App capabilities are missing on Android. Read full review I think the user interface is in need of an upgrade, as its starting to show it's age a little. It looks like it needs a rehaul in the department. Hopefully, the company can grow and then have more frequent interactions with their customers. I am slightly wary that support may not have the same proficiency at the very highest level, as my company reaches the expert user level.

Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review InetSoft is a more cost-effective option that offers the same functionality, features, and usability. It is a great option, especially for SMEs. It also has top-notch customer service/support which is a key factor in selecting any agency or tool. I recommend using InetSoft especially for small businesses
Read full review Return on Investment 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.
