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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"KPI Awareness"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Geckoboard?

The ease of creating different dashboards and widgets to have on those dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geckoboard?

Seems like a limited color pallet and widget type. We have a little fatigue on dashboards as there is not much variance so it's hard to emphasize certain widgets for importance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Needs more flexibility"
3/5
What do you like best about Geckoboard?

Visualization tools tied to our Salesforce data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall view of all your KPIs. I didn't change them in a while. I'm sure they have improved the widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using it for years - thats gotta mean something."
3.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic Application, We rely on it daily."
4.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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).

"Geckoboard is a great solution to display data to co-workers/clients!"
4/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Geckoboard. Customizable and fun."
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
