Overall Satisfaction with BrightGauge

We utilize internally for leadership metric roll-ups, for individual tech level dashboards to track tech level KPIs, for manager level roll ups of their staff, for client dashboards for both internal and external use. We utilize BrightGauge for our Business Review metric reports to show trends and valuable stats. We also leverage the goal pages to track team utilization, KPIs, and customer KPIs.
  • Easy to read graphical visuals
  • Drag and drop fields and data within a gauge
  • Endless customization of dashboards
  • Swift and helpful support when needed
  • Annual or more than annualized data is desperately needed for MSPs to show trends, current limitation is previous 240 days for ConnectWise tickets
  • Alerts when datasets do not sync properly, I have to rely on my team to notice vs get an automated alert from BrightGauge
  • Small thing, but it would be nice to have more options on the report scheduler to enable a start date. If you wish to do it quarterly, you have to start the schedule exactly 3 months from the next run.
  • Faster compilation of Business Review material
  • For larger customers, the dashboarding has helped our customers to remain sticky and add services/revenue to our MSP. They want to add more fragments of their IT for the 1 pane rollup.
  • From a leadership perspective, BG has allowed me to make difficult staffing decisions with confidence. Detailed metric driven decisions on who is hitting KPIs/who isn't - as well as when data proved we were overstaffed and understaffed.

Yes

Would you buy BrightGauge again?

Yes

I think this tool is an absolute have to have for MSPs, especially those using ConnectWise PSA for a ticketing system. From internal KPIs to showing customer's the value of your Managed Service, you will need this tool. 9/10 because the need for longer data sets is growing for my team. Trend lines over time are a big push industry wide to show improvements in our customers over the time as our MSP customer. Presently my team has to use CW PSA's Report Writer and that tool is the least user friendly we've encountered. Looking forward to the evolution of BrightGauge for our business.
