BrightGauge vs. Qrvey

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.

Qrvey is an excellent solution for AWS-based customers looking to add embedded analytics functionality. It is cloud-native and good at scaling. There are BI solutions with greater depth in particular areas (chart types, custom metrics), but Qrvey has an unmatched level of customizability for embedded use cases. Many APIs are also exposed and documented, making them easy to integrate into a data ecosystem.

• 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.

Incentivized

• The platform deploys to our AWS instance which gave us the ability to manage ourselves
• The feature of easily embedding visualizations into other applications
• The powerful features like workflow automation

• 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.

• Merges between heterogenous datasets can occasionally be problematic
• The dashboards/pages are already very powerful, but more interactive elements would always be welcome.
• The administration of a Qrvey instance and underlying datastore can sometimes be complex, but the Admin app helps make this a smooth process.

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
