The Dashboard Reporting Tool You've Been Looking For

Incentivized
Heather Robinette, MBAView profile
Marketing Manger in Marketing at Conexlink (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • Easy to read dashboards - This allows a user to communicate information quickly.
  • Reporting for your needs (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) - This allows you to set the reporting structure that works for you.
  • Easy to connect software - With a few simple clicks you can connect a large number of software programs.

Cons

  • Reminders to update goals - It would be nice if every quarter or so it would remind you to adjust any goals as needed.
  • Change the layout of reports on the dashboard - While not super difficult, it did take me a while to figure out how to move the reports around so it was just right.
  • More templates with multiple sources - It would be nice to see more templates with multiple sources. While you can edit and add your own, it would be nice to see more of the common ones.

Return on Investment

  • We've been able to better understand how everything relating to marketing has been doing, allowing us to make better decisions.
  • We've been able to also make decisions that impact other departments in a good way from the information we gather from the reports.
  • In general, just the time savings have been huge for us. I don't have to spend time putting reports together and we don't have to go through 3 reports to get the same information.
