Dash out and buy DashThis!

Pros

  • Displaying data in a clear and aesthetically pleasing way
  • Integrating with most of the systems you use on a regular basis in web design and digital marketing
  • Allowing you to quickly create new charts/graphs/reports for clients

Cons

  • I'd like the ability to archive a report so that it doesn't count against my dashboard total. There are a few reports we're not likely to use again, and if so we would gladly upgrade. But I'd hate to delete them just to free up space.
  • This is REALLY minor, but it would be nice to have more flexibility when uploading a client's logo to a report. Right now I have to resize it and add a transparent background if it's not the right shape to get it to the right dimensions before I can upload. It would be nice if they allowed for different dimensions.

Return on Investment

  • Using DashThis has freed up hours to work on more strategic objectives for our clients instead of using our time pulling clunky reports.
  • Using DashThis has also helped us get a better picture of the data so that we can make data-driven recommendations for our clients.

DashThis Builds Value and Save Money

Pros

  • High-Level Executive Reports for Easy-to-Disseminate information. Provide the most important metrics quickly.
  • In-Depth data analysis capabilities. Using in-depth filtering in Analytics data, you can report on just about anything you want, and provide deep insights to your clients
  • Easy-to-Update reports allow for changes on the fly, during calls, if needed. Adding and updating reports takes very little time and it's quick and effective

Cons

  • Currently it's missing Amazon Ads integrations, which I have submitted a request for.
  • There should be options to transfer dashboards to other accounts, as needed. For example, when a client engagement ends, being able to transfer the dashboard to the client account would be cool. I'm sure the capability exists.
  • Offline-reporting capabilities or sending PDFs through email of the dashboard may be very valuable to people reviewing data that don't currently have internet access.

Return on Investment

  • Saving time on reporting is huge. I can spend 2 full days building reports but never actually get to work on the clients marketing needs. With DashThis, reporting is automatic, so I can spend more time growing their business.
  • DashThis is a huge value-add to my clients who have spent far too much time diving into data, trying to uncover what the most valuable metrics are. With DashThis, we discuss the KPIs and I pull them into the reporting, so the client spends more time making money, less time with data.
  • I don't charge my clients for their reporting, so it's actually a financial drain for me. However, the amount of time and value I get out of their service is totally worth it to me and our company.
