2.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to Visualize Company Goals"
4/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keep your team up to speed"
4.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great way to run stats boards across every department in your company"
4/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geckoboard?

More default skins to theme different boards would be helpful. We never got around to making Custom versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Track whats going on across multiple departments in real time"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Metric Overload"
3.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Practical and Pretty"
4.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
