We're using iDashboards across our entire organization for all departments. We're addressing financial, operations, human resources, safety and employee performance. The major problem that iDashboards resolves: allowing all levels of the corporation to get a clear understanding of the numbers via pictures. The graphs and user interface allow the user to "see" exactly where they stand. The flexibility to put this information into the appropriate departments' hands allows them to drill down and see exactly what they need/want.
  • Visual impact on the numbers really hits home with all levels of employees.
  • The drill down ability - to go from a large general picture down to the details is priceless.
  • As a programmer I would love to have more options for complex queries.
iDashboards Enterprise Suite is well suited to keep everyone in the company up to date on their divisions' performance in real time.
iDashboards is easy to use right out of the box. The price point is very, very appealing and it offers everything the other products offer - ease of use and low cost.

iDashboards is being used to perfect new presentations of financial information to our Boards (we have two, one regular, one for our Foundation). We have designed new Board KPIs via iDashboards to let Board members see where we are at, for different departments. Finance (AR, Budget, and Revenue) is the main user, with Resource Development using iDashboards to track the performance of directors. The main problem it addresses was the need to have clean, easy-to-read reports to present to our Boards and committees.
  • Designing a dashboard is easy. In other words, it is fairly easy to make data look really nice!
  • Data Analytics. This makes it easy to do calculations on your data (averages, etc.)
  • Training and examples: Our introduction to iDashboards was thorough. There are plenty of tutorials as well, plus manuals.
  • Excel is better at customizing a graph. In iDashboards, you can't change the font size of legends. You can't swap axes. You can't manipulate the data labels (you can't move them independently.)
  • Printing a dashboard is not easy. To get the best result, you have to screenshot your dashboard and crop/paste it into a Word document to print. And HOW you screenshot it is important, or you will lose sharpness.
  • The data analytics iDashboards uses are wonderful. HOWEVER, there is not enough documentation on this specific topic. We are forever hearing them say, "Oh, here's a function you can use; it's not in our manuals, though". Well, why not? There needs to be a cheat-sheet of all their functions, formulas, and macros.
  • For most graphs, you have control over using axis labels or not. However, for some graph types, you don't. We need to have that control.
  • For some graphs, you can select to have the graph ignore zero values; meaning, they will not show up on the graph. However, for some graph types you can't. Again, we need to have that control.
You need to make sure that iDashboards will be able to connect to your databases you want to use. Working with an Excel spreadsheet is easy. However, one reason iDashboards was selected was the need to have a single source for all our presentations. After 6 months, we are just now getting connected to our main database.
I was not present at my organization for the selection process. I was, however, here for the launch.

Comparing iDashboards to the other products I have used, I find iDashboards the easiest of them to use, and that it makes the nicer dashboards. The selections available (report type, chart type, etc.) are all available only in iDashboards.
For the most part, iDashboards does what we need it to do in beautiful, easy-to-use ways. The main issues that are negative, i.e. connecting to databases, are being addressed with iDashboards directly and are being resolved. Their customer service is exemplary. Continuing Education is exemplary: they have 2-3 webinars each month showing us different ways to do things, expert-level graph set-up, etc.

Finance and Resource Development use iDashboards to present financial data. Resource Development also uses iDashboards to track job performance.

  • Design: dashboard design is easy and logical.
  • Connecting to Excel data sources
  • Re-developing dashboards: graphs are like building blocks--they are easily manipulated and can be used in any dashboard.
  • Dashboards are like puzzles. Add the graphs you have already created (or create new ones) and put them together like a puzzle!
  • Connecting to databases (this may be just for us; we have a unusual database system)
  • Graph individualization: The design capabilities of a graph are limited. There is not much customization you can do.
  • Not being able to position data values (the values for datapoints on a line graph, for example) is a big problem. Many times you are left with having to either not use them, or use them but many values are unreadable because of where they are placed.
Yes, but I don't use it
iDashboards are fairly logical and easy to use once you get started. I have taught myself most of what I know on my own, by taking webinars, reading through all the knowledge base, and doing the tutorials. Expertise is needed to do some of the data manipulation, but most graphs are simple to make.

We have a CRM that is very manual and does not provide any dashboards whatsoever. Idashboards provides a bridge to that gap to look at the state of our business in several capacities, from marketing lead generation and conversions all the way to the forecasting for our schools. It allows us to look at things from different angles in a rapid fashion in order to make improvements and address problems as needed.
  • As long as the creator of the dashboard keeps the user experience in mind, it is very intuitive for end users.
  • Dashboard creation and chart creation is relatively easy and can be as robust as needed.
  • Drilldown features are strong and can be linked within dashboards.
  • User management is very easy from an administrative standpoint.
  • Relatively low limit on the data sources (10 MB). For companies that want to intertwine a lot of data, this could prove problematic.
  • Anything that is beyond some basic yes/no questions can be cumbersome in terms of set up--programming is something that is needed.
  • Because it is not set up as a direct link to any CRM, this tends to make iDashboards isolated and non-relational.
It would be wise to ask about the creation of dashboards and charts in terms of the "BI" or "analytics" portion. What iDashboards shows you during demos is very slick, but I would ask to see the "how" behind it to get a full understanding as to how complex some of these items can be to create. Likewise, be deliberate prior to the conversation as to the things you want to see and ask those questions very specifically.
We have Tableau for more BI things, and we utilize this solely for information, reports, and what not. The visual aspect of Tableu is more difficult to create from a dashboard perspective, and in order to deploy this to other users, it requires an additional purchase of a server or licenses. Idashboards, on the other hand, is more flexible and is available on the web for users to see at anytime. While the creation of charts and reports in idashboards is a bit more cumbersome than Tableau, both serve the purpose for what we need.
We are actually going to be going to a CRM that has built in customizable dashboards that is relational. By having this available, we will no longer need iDashboards. However, us doing this was in no way a "driver" as to a negative reflection on iDashboards. It just made sense to have a one stop shop.
No
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
  • Analyst Reports
We needed a solution that our CRM could not provide at all. This meant having reporting available to a diverse set of users that could be accessed quickly and efficiently. We did not want to spend a lot in order to do that (who does?), and idashboards provided that type of solution.
Not necessarily change anything in terms of the scoping, but perhaps would have loved to have seen our data in a demo in order to see the full impact, as well as the how to get there in order for us to see what technically was needed to administer the product.
