DashThis - Simple, Easy & Limited
Rating: 5 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
I use DashThis to visualize data and set up dashboards for reports that I need to generate on an ongoing basis. It requires a one time setup to link data sources and create the template that fits needs. The platform then automatically updates the dashboard every new week/month and cuts down the reporting time significantly.
Pros
- Easily connecting to data sources
- Widget creation -- Quick and easy
- Seamless Dashboard sharing
Cons
- Glitchy data sync -- Sometimes widgets need to be "refreshed" in order to display updated data
- Limited chart types
- Poor annotation experience -- Making annotations, bullet points etc can become a nightmare. Editor has limited functionality
Likelihood to Recommend
DashThis can be a useful tool if you are working with a small data set that is already cleaned up an does not require any manipulation. However, if you are dealing with a situation that requires data clean-up, custom visualization and you need to slice and dice the data then DashThis is probably not a suitable tool to use.
