What do you like best about Geckoboard?

The ability to create dashboards that automatically refresh. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geckoboard?

At this point, nothing. Geckoboard works perfectly for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Geckoboard:

Great service and support from company, the more advanced stuff, is well documented. I just found stuff just worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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!

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geckoboard?

It's a pretty straightforward and helpful tool for data visualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Geckoboard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visually benchmarker of company and department goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customization for time ranges. We generally use this for call center data and would benefit from being able to edit more fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tracking call center data to find where most calls are associated with and when they occur to better service our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
