    BrightGauge lets us know when we have critical issues that need solving. A massive influx of tickets all at the same time triggers an investigation. Usually, it is tied to a server going down, which we can address. It would not be helpful for a small MSP or IT department with just a few daily tickets. The stats are better used to track a large amount of clients.

    Panorama Necto 14 is well suited where BI is built to support social collaboration so that its analytics features can be shared to improve decision making by incorporating various organizational input. Additionally it supports an infographic display for information review which is unlike most of its competitors.

    Pros
    ConnectWise
    • SQL queries can be presented in many different ways to illustrate the data. They can be used in lists, graphs, meter, etc.
    • The datasets frequency of updates can be customized to from 5 minutes to annually. It's very granular in this respect.
    • It allows dashboards to be shared outside your organization with clients, partners, and vendors to maximize collaboration and reporting.

    • Comes with lot of option to modify and build the smart infographic. Uses innovative pictures and charts to create the dashboards
    • Helps you identify why you are succeeding and where you should shift your focus to.
    • The maps are amazing and they just don’t act as control points rather you can populate various measures on them making it really efficient to understand the business in geographical info graph

    Cons
    ConnectWise
    • Annual or more than annualized data is desperately needed for MSPs to show trends, current limitation is previous 240 days for ConnectWise tickets
    • Alerts when datasets do not sync properly, I have to rely on my team to notice vs get an automated alert from BrightGauge
    • Small thing, but it would be nice to have more options on the report scheduler to enable a start date. If you wish to do it quarterly, you have to start the schedule exactly 3 months from the next run.

    • This tool is relatively new to the current competitive BI market. Many organizations or business analyst are not yet aware of it's eye catching features.
    • Need more enhancement for predictive analysis.
    • Publishing reports as email attachment and mail server configuration is a little complicated process.

    Some features are very basic and sometimes you can't add your own SQL query for custom reports. For Macs and Blackberry users this application is not helpful. Non-languages are not supported in info-graphics. They need to improve their forecast analysis. Report sharing is limited among the portal users only

    Usability
    ConnectWise
    Usability is BrightGauge's strength. Granting the ability of virtually any user to be able to create a dashboard is incredibly valuable. If an organization very simple and straight forward reporting needs then BrightGauge is a perfect fit for them. Connecting to the dataset we used was very quick and easy and I imagine it would be the same for any major data source you would like to pull from.

    I'm not aware of any other competitors to Bright Gauge that we selected. They seem to be very close to managed IT service providers and have been great at tailoring their support to the PSAs like ConnectWise, AutoTask, etc. I can see Bright Gauge getting more and more popular as time goes by

    This is the next generation BI tool, which will be very helpful for small and medium businesses to kick start data exploration and visualization of their diverse databases, with less intervention from IT. This tool is more end user centric and gives way more power to the end user to perform data analysis

    Return on Investment
    ConnectWise
    • We were purchased by a large PE firm because we could easily show CSAT ratings.
    • The easily trackable stats are suitable for the C-Suite to see which division is the most profitable.
    • We won 60,000 MRR by displaying to potential customers how we track important issues with the gauges.
