Being able to put these in front of our end users is fantastic! I have also been lucky enough to test out a beta version of the upcoming release and it's great to see they are constantly implementing new features & improving the project. People in the office love it because it brings the data to them without having to search for a report in our CRM. And our people in the warehouse love it even more since they don't have regular access to a computer. It keeps them on task and let's them plan ahead accordingly. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** At this point, nothing. Geckoboard works perfectly for us. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Geckoboard is great at making data accessible to everyone. The ability to have automatically refreshing dashboards is a great advantage to any company. And it's use and implemention is so easy anyone can do it! **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We utilize Geckoboard for departmental dashboards that we put up on tvs in those departments. This allows the department quick and easy visual access to the numbers that are important to them. Upcoming tasks, goals, & for one fun little pictures make their day to day jobs much easier ### 5. Dashboards quick & Easy. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Graham R. | IT Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** I can create a dashboard and get it published on a tv, quickly. With little or no stress. Going to the next level, with customization, proprietary data, was a breeze, using tools like Python and Pandas. The new beta features are super cool, and I look forward to them going into production. Support team is phenomenal, quick response and solutions forthcoming. All in all, a good choice for our company. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Being on an unfavorable exchange rate (14:1), the price is quite hefty for us. GeckoBoard did come to the party and made some concessions around their licencing for us. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Great service and support from company, the more advanced stuff, is well documented. I just found stuff just worked. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Motivating call center teams, with real time data, displayed attractively. IT and Operational Dashboards allow staff to be proactive to problems. Providing super cool dashboards, makes me look like a super cool IT Manager :) Benefits are increased performance, rapid turn around time and making dashboards is now fun. ### 6. Great tool for a growing business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Annie V. | Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Geckoboard is so intuitive! Very quick to get started, and so easy to make an eye-catching, impactful (is that a word?) dashboard. Have been using the beta version as well, and it's all very exciting - can't wait for it to go live. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Dislike would be an unfair word to use, but I am waiting for the team to finish up the HubSpot integration. That's the only thing missing from my Geckoboard life at the moment! **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've brought KPIs to the front of the team's mind and have been able to celebrate their successes in real time. Clients, investors, and board members coming into the office are able to get a bird's eye view of how we're doing - and everyone always asks what this marvellous dashboard is! ### 7. Excellent dashboard creating platform **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Being able to create dashboards and pull data in from a variety of sources. It allows us to display critical business information on TV's in the office. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Some of the integrations are a bit limited, or have a lack of support. The documentation for pushing our own data in via API is also a little hit-and-miss, but we're working on this and it seems to be going ok. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** If you need to pull data from a variety of sources and display them easily, then Geckoboard is perfect for this. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We want to display data on certain business critical information so that colleagues can see them publicly. Geckoboard allows us to do just that. ### 8. Quick look at Numbers **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** I love being able to go to a home screen and see all my team's goals and their status' in one place. When I come in in the morning the first thing I do is check Geckoboard to see where we are at. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** It's a pretty straightforward and helpful tool for data visualization. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We mainly use it to track our big goals, but we've also used it for some friendly internal competition. If we are trying to hit a certain number or pass a goal, we will sometimes set up a big screen in our office with people's names and how close they are to a number. It inspires some friendly competition. ### 9. Great Visual Tool **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** From a company perspective, it's a great visual tool to show the company's goals. We have TVs in the office where we show our company's goals. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Beyond displaying goals, there's not much else that this tool does. Also, the visuals themselves don't have that many options. I wish some of them would be animated beyond when you originally load the page, or when you hit specific goals. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** If you're looking for a consistent visual representation of goals across your company & department use this tool. Otherwise, I would look for something a little jazzier if you're trying to visually represent your goals. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visually benchmarker of company and department goals. ### 10. Real Time tracking made easy **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Colby W. | Nevada Public Notary, Renewables & Environment, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** The real time data and bar graphs that can be easily implemented from day 1 with other satay analytics tools! This is awesome. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Customization for time ranges. We generally use this for call center data and would benefit from being able to edit more fields. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking call center data to find where most calls are associated with and when they occur to better service our customers. ### 11. Best designed for Beginners to website management **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Think Tanks | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Great design .. It's really easy to configure the settings. Its intergrated with 3rd party applications **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** what I have found least helpful is that it doesn't offer any notifications. It also isn't meant to be used alone. You have to use the intergrated websites to get the most out of this **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its perfectly designed for my small business needs. I am used it through the trial period. but did not continue after the trial. ### 12. Very useful **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Ease of setup and visually engaging. Well priced **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Nothing that springs to mind really in my experience **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great visualisation of kpis and various stats ### 13.

Geckoboard connects the company and allows us to share data **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** They have a live action chat, which has been very useful at these early phases of using geckoboard. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Nothing. It is very easy to drag and drop the metrics into the dashboard. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Benefit is that we can communicate important metrics in real time ### 15. Superb software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Liked the User Interface. Liked the customization options too. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Initial installation is little painful. Otherwise it works great. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps to keep the team on the same page. ### 16. It was easy to use **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Very easy to use and quick process I would recommend **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Could have more detailed in areas for the consumer **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Everyday use at work ### 17. One stop shop for wallboard requirements **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Ease of use, cost, integration availability, flexibility and feature set. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Some integrations missing. Some duplication without obvious explanation as to why both exist and which one you should be using (nothing that a bit of playing around can't solve). **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Trial the platform and you'll be surprised at it's capability **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm using it as a Contact Centre Wallboard but I'm going beyond the norm by connecting the team more to the business outcomes such as total orders and revenue (shopify), web traffic and site conversion (google analytics) etc etc. We're then using some zap's with typeform and google sheets to pull out complaint information as it comes through the customer access points. I'm no techy but was able to achieve without any digital product support. Any investors coming in to see how we operate are constantly blown away by how we're using it and every single one to date has noted down the name.... ### 18. Super **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erik B. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** A very intuitive tool and easy to use and integrate with different data sources **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Pricing. A little bit expensive. You should reconsider the pricing packages. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allow to centralise data from different area of our company, Ex: Customer support, Financial. Tracking quarterly metrics. Sharing progress on goals ### 19. Beautiful Yet Informative **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** The dashbiards are extremely flexible and amazingly smooth-looking - easily the best I have seen on any reporting tool! The dashboards themselves can be extremely customized (in terms of their size, layout, etc) and provide access to all sorts of data from numerous integration platforms in the market **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Not all integration platforms offer equal flexibility - with some tools offering a lot more comprehensive data than the others. Furthermore, it would also be very helpful if it was possible to report on any personalized data from the tools as opposed to simply the few options provided by the tool. Geckoboard also offers fairly limited set of integrations considering the near infinite number of tools out in the market. Finally, it is important to note that Geckoboard can only be used to display statistics from various tools - it does not offer any analytical, prediction or forecasting options thus, severely limiting the potential of the tool **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Make sure Geckoboard supports the platforms that you would like to gather data from. Also, make sure the specific data fields that you would like to display from the platforms can actually be shown by Geckoboard because if Geckoboard doesn't natively support the data fields you'd like to display then it'll be very difficult to capture live data from those fields **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a single tool that can display data from a number of tools used by our organization and showcase them based on specific criteria (such as leads generated in last month, revenue generated by individual users and so on). We would've preferred to also do some in-depth analysis of the statistics but unfortunately Geckoboard does not provide that option. Nonetheless, Geckoboard became a one stop shop to display the overall company performance (plus individual sales performance) over given time periods ### 20. Great Design **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Easy to read as it has amazing dashboard views, that one can also share with stakeholders and extend and shrink as needed. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Integrating is not as user-friendly as one would like, it does take slow to load and refresh, and there are a couple of times when parts of the dashboard views are a bit buggy. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Great for lite data inputs. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visibility into mission-critical data in an easy to consume format. ### 21. Powerful, but not beautiful **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gillian W. | Product and Community Specialist, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Geckoboard allows us to build at-a-glance dashboards and track our most important metrics in a visual way. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Maybe this is just me, but I'd appreciate more options for customizing the look and feel of each Geckoboard, so that we can quickly differentiate between them. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** GeckoBoard has allowed us to increase visibility of our KPIs and track whether or not we're hitting our metrics. It also looks cool when it's up on a monitor in the office. ### 22. Great way to Visualize Company Goals **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** The way you can show trend data on a gecko board is extremely helpful when you need to see how teams are doing based on the previous month. Love to be able to create endless boards and easily switch them out depending on our screens. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** A good amount of the widgets need technical support if you want to pull data in from Salesforce, Heroku, etc. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Decide what metrics you really want to share and make sure Geckoboard can accurately showcase them. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sharing individual department's goals with the entire company. Wins and Losses. ### 23. Keep your team up to speed **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2017 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Good interface for sharing dashboards with the team. Tons of different integrations and options for collecting data; ties easily into a lot of tools that we're already using at work, like Salesforce, Google Analytics, and Heroku Dataclips. We have TVs throughout the office with individual goals for different teams, and can quickly spin up new ones throughout the year. They're pretty opinionated about what sort of graphs are effective; their approach is pretty good at keeping you from shooting yourself in the foot. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** One of my favorite graphs for trending data is to show rolling averages; I really wish that they supported this out of the box since I have to build it myself in a ton of different formats. Some of their older charts types (RAG type) especially are sorta hard to read. It is pretty much on you to figure out how to show projections and daily targets, I wish they'd provide a little support around those problems, which can be kind of tricky. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking daily / weekly / quarterly metrics. Sharing progress on goals. Rallying team members behind a very visible goal. ### 24. A great way to run stats boards across every department in your company **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** The built-in widgets for core products companies already use. The API for custom widgets is great and easy to use. Having a dedicated customer success person to call on with the "Company" plan has been excellent. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** More default skins to theme different boards would be helpful. We never got around to making Custom versions. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting lots of data from different sources and making it easy to digest so each team can monitor performance, critical events, etc. ### 25. Perfect dashboard for the office **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ben L. | Angel Investor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Easy to set up Dashboard is beautiful Tons of integrations with every service possible **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Design of dashboard is not very customizable I wish there was more I could change for the design and how it looks when we put up the dashboard in our office **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Buy a monitor for your office to show the dashboard **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** transparency in our office easy to view and access analytics for the office. ### 26. Great product but could use some more customization options **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** I love this product very inexpensive and great way to display your company metrics **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** This product could use some customization in the various chart and graph selections. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Great product easy to use its a no brainer for metrics display system **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using geckoboard to display our company wide metrics as they continuously pull from excel ### 27. Works great -- provides a comprehensive view of several metrics at once **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Variety of connections available -- can view just about anything in any way. You can also design and move things around to suit your business needs. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Occasionally metrics time out for one reason or another, and the free version of the platform is fairly limited. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're able to see a snapshot of our business in the office -- everyone can view how we're doing at any time. It's super helpful. ### 28. Track whats going on across multiple departments in real time **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2017 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** I love all the real-time dashboards. It allows me to see what is going on across multiple departments at all times. We can see when users are submitting content to our site, monitor leaderboards, and track performance metrics. I have it up on my second monitor at all times to see what is going on that day. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** I wish you could click on the dashboards and take a deeper dive into that specific metric. This functionality could exist but not currently in the way ours is set up. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** I am not sure of the cost, as I was not the one to purchase it, but I can say that the product is very good for what we use it for. We have dashboards displayed all over our office and can access them on our personal computers as well. I personally have mine up at all times. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Performance tracking and real-time feedback on site metrics. A benefit I have realized is it is also easy to create new dashboards for internal campaigns and incentives (for example - our sales team is currently running a team competition and we have a leaderboard tracked on our geckoboard displayed on the sales floor). ### 29. Metric Overload **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2017 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Geckoboard is really powerful, and has a ton of really useful integrations al ready built in. It also makes it really easy to create you own integrations. The graphs and designs they have created are perfect for what we need, and make conveying the goals and metrics really easy to understand. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Not being able to easily color differentiate metrics, you can custom style all of them per dashboard, but you can't just have one be highlighted orange and the rest not. You also cannot easily brand the dashboards. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Its so easy to create and measure metrics the we now have dashboards with 18 different graphs on them, and 4 screens of dashboards we see everyday. We have too many metrics I don't know what I am looking at anymore. We either have a wall of green metrics(yay) or a wall of red metrics(boo) but I don't really know what the individual metrics are. So my recommendation is to be very careful with how you show the dashboards to your teams because if you have too many it becomes useless. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use geckoboard to track and prominently display how we are progressing for our goals in our office. It makes it easy to track the goals that we care about and actually makes it clear to everyone when there is one we need to pick up our pace on. ### 30. Practical and Pretty **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** The user interface is wonderful and the color scheme is very pleasant. All of the graphs are easily legible and updated with accurate, live data. From a non-administrator perspective it gives me all the information I need to know where I and other teams stand in relation to meeting goals. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** I really don't have many negative experiences with Geckoboard. I think sometimes it displays weird, or misleading data. That may be on the part of administrators, but it may also be an ease of use thing. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** It seems simple and straightforward. If you're looking for a simple tool to provide live updates on company information, KPIs and goals, I would recommend Geckoboard. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping up to date with goals Monitoring progress for both myself and the team Receiving more digestible datasets relevant to my team. ### 31. Good looking displays **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2017 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Love how good the displayed data looks. Once you get the hang of it there is very useful to work with an the boss is usually impressed with the data display **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Until you get the hang of it it can be quite complicated and time consuming. Certainly glad that I passed along that responsibility to someone else **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Consider this solution **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Showing the data that we use ### 32.

We have a little fatigue on dashboards as there is not much variance so it's hard to emphasize certain widgets for importance. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** KPI tracking and measurement for broad team awareness. ### 34. One of my favorite tools **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** I like the ability to create dashboards with unique statistics.

It gives us a good insight into goals and performance. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Sometimes it doesn't update immediately, so metrics might not be live or in real-time, but its usually close enough. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** It might be easier to create a series of different dashboards instead of squeezing everything into one dashboard. Otherwise, it can get crowded and cluttered. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are tracking our goals and metrics. ### 35. Needs more flexibility **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2017 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Visualization tools tied to our Salesforce data. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Visualization capabilities are limited to how the data is output from Salesforce - very rudimentary and not intuitive unless someone walks you through specifically what you are looking at. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Make sure you can leverage other data/tools that can be better visualized within Geckoboard. SFDC is notoriously behind on creating better reporting tools (trending, snapshots in time, stages, etc.) **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking goals, metrics, data to maintain progress and trends toward goals. ### 36. Nice but expensive. Not for everyone... **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Overall view of all your KPIs. I didn't change them in a while. I'm sure they have improved the widgets. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Quite expensive. Maybe it's worth for quite big companies and not for everyone. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Some of my KPIs all in a dashboard and that is nice. ### 37. Using it for years - thats gotta mean something. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** The customisable dashboard widgets and loads of integrations. Plus the charts and the way you create them is much improved recently so I can create some great graphs from things like Google Sheets, overlay several datasets and choose exactly how big I want that on my dashboard. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** The cost isn't that awesome compared to others. Also they seem to have been dropping some integrations like Xero which I really wanted to get all my businesses data on there using the tools that we have in place. They also don't have Jira on the integrations which is annoying at the moment as we run a lot of work through there. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** I wanted to see an overview of everything happening in the company across multiple cloud apps. A centralised view of the world as it were. We're not quite there unfortunately as they don't have all the integrations I need... no one does. ### 38. Fantastic Application, We rely on it daily. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julian M. | System Administrator, Package/Freight Delivery, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** The rich set of widgets that provide a plethora of view / display options with endless configurability. Managers and team leaders can review performance at a glance and Geckoboard helps remove guess work/estimates from many decisions. We have a 55” LCD display in the office that permanently displays a Geckoboard which provides our production and fulfillment staff with a view of the volume of work they have processed each day and a view of how much work remains in our back log. This enables them to prioritize, know their performance and understand what tasks are coming up. We get a lot from the set of boards we have created to provide the various areas of our business with relevant and up to date information on how we are performing. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Very occasionally some of our widgets have issues refreshing or loading. It’s an very infrequent issue that is easily resolved with a page refresh. This small inconvenience is the only thing I could even consider complaining about (and I have a feeling that this one gripe is actually an issue in our network). **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Spend the time learning Geckboard’s rich feature set then spend more time designing your boards to meet you or your businesses needs. Done well this application excels at providing an on-the-pulse view of your activities. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Takes the much of the guess work out of decision making us more accurate and efficient. Allows our staff to have a current view of the health of the business at any given moment. Motivates staff by providing a view of how we are doing and what we need to prepare for next. ### 39. Geckoboard is a great solution to display data to co-workers/clients! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin M. | Operations Manager, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** This product is a fantastic solution for taking complex data and displaying it in an easy to read fashion. I use this product in the real estate industry. The dashboards I've built-out allow me to share information that I track with my agents so they always know the most important stats and figures as a company. I also track their sales and it helps as a non-verbal accountability tool. I also use this product to externally market our team with working with public clients. Pulling up our numbers in our dashboards is an impressive way to not only help sell our services, but stand out amongst our competition as a modern and business savy real estate team. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** There was a bit of a learning curve in that I had to create new spreadsheets for my data to use this product correctly. Essentially, if you have a spreadsheet that you work out of and have moving cells/formulas, Geckoboard will not follow the cells you have linked. So the workaround is to create additional sheets of information, linked to the sheets you normally work out of, then connect Geckoboard to the newly created sheet with the cells that stay locked in. I think a nice addition to this product would be making custom widgets easier to obtain. I watched a webinar about creating custom widgets and you had to know how to code in order to use them. As this products grows and develops, it would be great to see more of a plug and play system to get the result of what are now custom widgets than you have to code from scratch. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** My problem was that I had a mass amount of information in spreadsheets that I knew my agents weren't looking at but would have value to them. This product helped me to solve that issue as I now have an 80" TV in our office that rotates our dashboards throughout the day. An additional benefit is that we figured out a way to track numbers that would be beneficial to potential home sellers. We can instantly show them how quickly we sell homes and, on average, how many showings they can expect before an offer normally comes through. ### 40. Geckoboard. Customizable and fun. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kori F. | Lead Software Developer, Hospital & Health Care, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** It's completely configurable. Need something specific to your use case? Just use custom components! The API is super simple, pull or push. We were able to quickly produce an API wrapper which we use to push all kinds of data to our various boards, and it's simple enough that the display is understood by almost all employees here at the company. We love having it displayed during meetings, and it's one of the most commented aspects of the meetings that we get feedback about. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** I wish the grid system was not so fixed. It's a bit hard to fit everything on this large screen TV on the wall. Fluid grid system please! **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Start using custom components, it really makes the system work well! **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm monitoring multiple systems in a verity of environments. Geckoboard helps me get that done at a glance, so I know what needs my attention as fast as possible. We don't have a specific operations team of employees (small company), so we needed something that would help the few of us here to do the same job. ### 41. Simple Gamechanger for Business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thomas W. | Ecommerce Manager, Retail, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2015 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** It's so simple. I don't know why it's such a great product, because it really is so simple. It lacks a lot of customization but that's okay - it excels at giving you KPIs in a way that helps give everyone in the office headlines of where we're at and whether or not we're reaching our goals. The app for mobile is sweet, too. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** It's not that customizeable. In order to make big changes you need to hire a developer, and support won't build anything for you (understandably). **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Geckoboard rules- if you're wanting a complex report, Geckoboard is not your product, but if you're wanting KPIs and readily available "headlines", you have no idea how helpful this product will be. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're giving our entire team headlines for the KPIs of our department. Having all of these readily accessible on a monitor in our office helps us all know whether or not we're winning. ### 42. Kickass dashboard for kickass team ! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marco S. | Président-Fondateur, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** A lot of plugin, and if it's not there, you can manage your data in a Google spreadsheet or push via their simple API. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Not that I dislike, but having more visual customization(color, layout of the graph, size) could be cool in the future. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a CTO, I keep an eye on my operational metric and the activity on my website, with Geckoboard. ### 43. Quick overview of analytics **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** I like the ability to change boards to view any analytics you want. The graphics are visually appealing, making the geckoboard's dashboards cool to view. On top of the interface appeal, it is also extremely easy to read. Additionally, the mobile app is straight forward and provides a great quick view of analytics on the go. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** I'm frequently logged out of geckoboard on both my mobile and desktop versions. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick and simple views of progress on business goals. ### 44. Extremely flexible and clean mobile friendly dashboards **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** The most useful feature we use currently is connecting to google sheets. We also use Basecamp. For our clients we've connected to social media information as well like Google analytics, Facebook, Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor. Having mobile access is icing on the cake. Our owners use executive dashboards for our KPIs they value seeing and we've taken those quick access features and reporting tools our client's and they love it. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Some of the customizable widgets are less intuitive, but the support portals are helpful to learn more customizable features. **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Geckoboard is extremely flexible. Setting up some of the predesigned widgets is really simple, like the Facebook connection for social network reach/ profiles. The possibilities are much greater with data pulled in from google sheets and other connections, but will take more effort and understanding and company controls around who updates the data and when. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** We started using Geckoboard after our owners were getting pulled in so many directions and have so many sources of data to potentially look at. We found it extremely helpful to filter information from a variety of sources for our owners, then project managers, sales team and marketing team. Every department has different KPI's that help them do their jobs better. ### 45. Smart and Beautiful **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris D. | Social Media Director, Religious Institutions, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Dashboards are relatively simple to set up and customize. Customer service is excellent. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Custom styling would be easier for more people if it weren't css driven. I'm no coder, but was able to create a custom style sheet from an example Geckoboard provided. There were a couple lines of code that weren't working (because I'm no web genius), but their customer support team sent me a couple lines of code that worked perfectly. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Identifying success of our site, and specific sections of our site using numbers instead of feelings. We've seen traffic increase and pages go further by watching real time data and adjusting tactics as needed. ### 46. Love Geckoboard! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Todd W. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** KPI's easy to setup, change. Visualizations are great particularly Google real time map and meter. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** Would love native stripe integration and a few others like Hubspot. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to visualize success and iterate. ### 47. Great tool for improving transparency and motivation. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jordan E. | Sales Operations Manager, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2015 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Lots of integrations with key business tools. They seem to consistently be innovating and adding functionality/integrations. Interface is pretty intuitive. We use the Custom Salesforce widget extensively, which allows us to write a custom query to pull very specific sets of data. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** I wish there was an easier way to customize the dashboard without uploading a CSS file. It would also be nice to be able to indicate data type when creating a widget (currency, percentage, etc). A drag & drop theme editor would be great! **Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:** Check out their integration list to make sure they have integrations with the tools most important to your goal for this type of software. Also, know that they have robust integrations with tools like Salesforce, but they may require some slightly technical knowledge to get what you want. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** Transparency is important to our leadership team, so providing real-time visibility to key metrics is crucial. Everyone can see where we are in relation to our quarterly sales goal, marketing goals, bonus achievements, etc. It's a great way to align focus across all departments, and everyone watches the Geckoboard when we're nearing our company goals. ### 48. Easiest way to launch a team dashboard **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martin B. | CEO & Co-Founder, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Geckoboard?** Geckoboard offers a lot of integrations. They are easy to setup and most of the pre-built widgets make sense. We use it to run a team dashboard. **What do you dislike about Geckoboard?** The widgets are pretty static. From time to time you want to change a widget which is not possible. **What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps us to run a team dashboard visualizing how we're doing in development and sales. ## Geckoboard Discussions - [How do I build my own dashboard?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-i-build-my-own-dashboard) - [How do you set up a Geckoboard?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-set-up-a-geckoboard) - [What is the best dashboard software?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-best-dashboard-software) - [What is Geckoboard used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-geckoboard-used-for) - [View Geckoboard pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/geckoboard/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-03+12%3A55%3A20+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=980647e5-be43-4efb-babb-d7d238c9760e&secure%5Btoken%5D=9af91286f2b97a5ada99f6262c5a00d44616b7cf1dff972724956e55594e524e&format=llm_user) ## Geckoboard Features **Reports** - Reports Interface - Steps to Answer - Graphs and Charts - Score Cards - Dashboards **Metrics** - Sessions - Digital Analytics - Engagement - Entry and Exit Pages - Standard Event Tracking - Custom Event Tracking - Retention - Return - Conversions - Funnels **Functionality** - Repository Integration - Analytics and Trends - Productivity Updates **Reports** - Reports Interface - Share Reports - Steps to Answer **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Reporting** - Real-Time Reporting - Trending - Retroactive Reporting - Segmentation - Mobile Reporting - Unification Across Devices - Custom Reports and Dashboards **Marketing Operations** - ROI Tracking - Data Collection - Customer Insights - Multi-User Access - Spend Management - White Label **Management** - Historical Data Consolidation - Data Context - Testing Integration **Visualization** - Graphs and Charts - Score Cards - Dashboards **Other** - User Data - Site Search Reporting - Load Time Monitoring - Campaign Tracking - E-Commerce - Promotional Messages - Administration Alerts **Data Updates** - Historical Snapshots - Real-Time Updating **Campaign Activity** - Campaign Insights - Reports and Dashboards - Campaign Stickiness - Multichannel Tracking - Brand Optimization - Predictive Analytics **Collaboration** - Sharing - Co-Editing - Devices **Agentic AI - Marketing Analytics** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance **Agentic AI - Digital Analytics** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Self Service ** - Calculated Fields - Data Column Filtering - Data Discovery - Collaboration / Workflow - Automodeling **Advanced Analytics** - Data Visualization - Big Data Services **Administration** - API / Integrations - QA Testing - Performance and Reliability - User, Role, and Access Management **Building Reports** - Data Transformation - Data Modeling - WYSIWYG Report Design - Integration APIs **Platform** - Mobile User Support - Customization - User, Role, and Access Management - Internationalization - Sandbox / Test Environments - Performance and Reliability - Breadth of Partner Applications **Data Updates** - Historical Snapshots - Real-Time Updating - Email Reports ## Top Geckoboard Alternatives - [Databox](https://www.g2.com/products/databox-databox/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (189 reviews) - [Data Studio](https://www.g2.com/products/data-studio/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (455 reviews) - [Grow.com](https://www.g2.com/products/grow-com/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (267 reviews)
