I love that we can connect directly with other software we utilize to provide real time data change

More explanation and assistance with the ETL would be great; sometimes it is difficult to determine what to use.

The product leans on a very easy to understand chart creation tool. The buttons are all mostly self explanatory, while also offering deep customization

The charts do not allow for Z axis measure, and comparing information against multiple X-axis isn't easy

The platform is very easy to use. IT support always responds questions.

The chart's axes should be more flexible. Header should be detected automatically. Data type has bite limit chart(25); therefore, a lot of tables cannot be read before change data type.

We like the support and community behind the product. Having a welcoming forum for sharing ideas, problems, and feature requests sets this tool apart from the competition.

By itself there isn't much we dislike. However, when compared to expensive competitors , the speed, visualizations, and scaling feel less refined.

Using this software we are able to display KPI's for stuff that we could previously only show in excel.

It has a pretty difficult learning curve

Allows access and statistical evaluation of databases that I would typically have to rely on inaccessible IT staff to provide.

Still learning. Most roadblocks are due to simple oversights. In a perfect world their would be more resources (hints, training videos) to help non-IT users to overcome their own incompetentcies.

Easy to use. Very good support team with development skill set that has helped us tremendously.

No negatives to list at this time. We had a little difficulty in the beginning getting schedules synched up but that was about all.

Data Connection for different data sources

Finding linked tables , charts, and dashboards

IDashboards was fairly easy to setup with very experienced programmers helping on start up

there is really nothing that we don't like about the software

That it connects easily to any data source and creating meaningful dashboards can be done within hours

Nothing really, I dont have an improvement. If I come across something quirky, I reach out to support and its answered/resolved within hours.

Ease of learning. (had new user be proficient contributor in less than 90 days) Ability to create with outside functionality Deployment is #1

Some features take time to find, learn and use. Little things sometimes take too long to do. Sandbox to production limitations.

There are many different types of charts that make data visualization so much easier to understand! iDashboards makes it super easy and intuitive to build basic charts and dashboards. However, once you get into more complex, the manual does a great job of walking you through the process and OSKAR is super quick to respond to any other questions that are not covered in the manual.

The only thing that iDB is lacking is more memory/space so that the Data Hub can run extremely large tables.

Ease of use from Administrator, to builder, to end user is what makes this product so effective. Working with so many different backgrounds (especially computer backgrounds) creates an environment where the easier it is to navigate and use the software, the better. The people creating the dashboard does not have to know deep levels of coding to create dashboards and charts. End users do not need to navigate menu's and options to find what they are looking for. Everything is clean cut and allows for the focus to be on the data and not solely on the product.

iDashboards does have some areas that are add-ons to the main subscription package. As with many softwares, this is the only significant downside when working in a company that is tight on budget planning if something new appears, but is only available at an additional cost.

I like the ability of the forms for the employees to enter their productivity. I also like the final results of a dashboard after it's been worked on. I also LOVE the access to support.

There doesn't seem to be a straight forward way to structure and import spreadsheet items and then manipulate a dashboard. In the event that items are lost, one would have to manually enter the information again and then construct a dashboard that took a decent amount of time to build.

The software is very intuitive, and may I even say "fun" to use. Their customer support is second to none, the company itself is great - they give off the vibe they actually like doing their jobs. Perfect fit for our company.

The only issue we've come across is how to format our data in order for the software to interpret it. However, this is wholly on our side - not a software issue.

The ease of use Flexibility Usefullness in the Business Setting

You have to have some experience with SQL Server to really use.

Ease of use - great value - unbeatable customer service - very flexible!

Can't really think of any right now

User-friendly Intuitive Multiple data sources Great customer support

SQL is required to pull/join multiple sources. A GUI interface would be great for nonSQL members

Ease of learning how to use it and deploy it. The drill down aspect of this tool.

Everyone is so excited about it that keeping up sometimes with the demand of what they want next. But this is still a Great Problem!!

Ease of use and flexibility.

Handling large amounts of data by some chart types.

Ease of use in creating dashboards as well as tapping into desperate data sources

they are not any cons

Easy to be implemented and managed, Great Visual Intelligence features to connect different areas/series showing the relationships often hiddden in your data. Good technical support. Language packs in many languages

Smartpohne interface is rather weak; some localizations for European Countries are still to be realeased, Focused on Flash, where all the visual features cold be shwn and used, instead than HTML5 or other safer standars

iDashboards is an easy, efficient, affordable, robust, interactive, user-friendly software with incredible visualization capability. This business intelligence software equips anyone from IT to end user with the ability to analyze data quickly and deliver one of many data views with drill down capabilities.

This vendor's support system is excellent and the product speaks for itself. The primary limitation is the 10MB excel file size.

Flexibilty to program in a variety of platforms including Excel for non-programmers. Easy to use, yet also a great deal of complexity in what can be done with charts, graphs and dashboards. Interactivity and synchronized pivots among charts on a dashboard is powerful. The cloud platform allows us to server companies regardless of location.

Could benefit from a larger library of API's to connect to a variety of today's popular tools. Better email tools on cloud platform.

We opted for the onsite training for a week, which while a bit pricey. It definitely gets you up and running very quickly. The way that this is designed makes it relatively easy to master after a few iterations.

The necessity for dynamic dashboards is not quite user-friendly from the design and programming standpoint; if you're not a coder by nature, this could be somewhat tricky to do. Likewise, source files can only be 10 MB in size for the reports to pull from, which can prove problematic.
