DashThis

It's great if you have to provide reports (either internally or for clients) on a regular basis. It takes a little time to set up your structure (surely comparable to the time you'd spend in another tool and definitely faster than doing it manually), but then it saves so much time on an ongoing basis. It's also really important when you want your reports to look good -- which is pretty much all the time! No more Word documents here and Excel spreadsheet there with mismatched formatting all over the place. Now you can have one streamlined look, which allows you to view the data more easily and not get tripped up on the report itself.

Honestly, I think it's appropriate in pretty much any situation! I guess maybe if you were just pulling one report one time, then it might not be worth the time it takes to set up, but even then it depends -- you still have the benefit of one clear, streamlined look for all your data. And it's less error-prone.

Good but could be better. Needs to look at acquisition reporting in more detail.

No idea.

I have used DashThis with all my clients, because it is the fastest, easiest, and best-developed reporting platform. I have tried Google Data Studio and many other reporting integrations, but they just don't have the speed or capabilities of DashThis.

With in-depth filtering, you can create reporting modules not available in any other dashboard, like deep source-medium targeting or landing page data, etc. Whatever data you need, you can get access.

Their API integrations are increasing all the time, and if they don't currently connect to something, request access.

DashThis can be a useful tool if you are working with a small data set that is already cleaned up an does not require any manipulation. However, if you are dealing with a situation that requires data clean-up, custom visualization and you need to slice and dice the data then DashThis is probably not a suitable tool to use.

Even if you are only pulling analytics from Google, I think the ease of use is worth it.

I always get a same day response to my questions and they reach out enough that I feel like I can ask questions but not too much that I get annoyed.

DashThis has worked well for us because many of our clients can't afford hours and hours of reporting and analysis fees. This has cut costs for both our agency and the clients, all while providing useful information. For our larger clients, some additional information and work is still needed to provide the whole picture so I'm not sure what our next steps will be to accomodate that.
