Effortlessly Create Customized Dashboards: A Review of DashThis Software

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: It helps me to easily organize and visualize the data and metrics of my business. The software makes it easy to combine multiple data sources into a single and intuitive dashboard, allowing me to quickly identify trends and spot problems. It also provides powerful analytics tools that help me better understand my business performance. Overall, DashThis is a great tool for streamlining my business operations.

Pros:

I really like DashThis dashboard software. It's easy to use and it allows me to create custom reports quickly. Plus, I can access my dashboard data from anywhere with the mobile app. The drag and drop feature makes it easy to organize my data, and I love the automatic updates that keep me informed of changes in real-time. I also appreciate the ability to share data with others in a secure environment.

Cons:

Overall I am pleased with the features it offers. However, what I like least about this software is the lack of customization options. It seems like you can only design your dashboard based on a few pre-set templates, which was a bit disappointing to me. Additionally, there are some features that I wish were available but aren't included in the software.

DashThis (and not that other competitor) - Just started using, but liking and using more

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: DashThis has been great find and "upgrade" from the Google Analytics I got my start in Web Analytics with. It has greater flexibility and functionality, not to mention supporting more than just my website as a platform to draw analytics from. DashThis appears to be committed to supporting new platforms as they appear on the market, which makes this a long-term tool for me.

Pros:

I was recently introduced to DashThis, after finding Google Analytics to have some functional and flexibility issues. I've found DashThis to be more intuitive and flexible than Google Analytics. I've increasingly found DashThis to impress me with its ease of use and depth of functionality and flexibility. The price seems to be competitive relative to what it offers over its competition. DashThis also offers a wide range of support & connectivity to other platforms, making this even more useful in the future. The customer support has been surprisingly responsive and effective.

Cons:

Looking at the pricing I've found that DashThis could get expensive if I find it gaining adoption among my user. While DashThis has been adding support and connectivity to new platforms, I may end up using platforms which are not yet supported, which could create a "break" in the continuity of my workflow.

DashThis or That

3.0 2 years ago

Pros:

It pulls in data and allows for great organization.

Cons:

Im not the biggest fan of DashThis, partly based on how we use it as a company but also just the visual aspect.

Very easy to use reporting tool with awesome customer support

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: We were looking for a tool to create Facebook advertising dashboards for our clients. We found DashThis to fulfill this need at a very reasonable price.

Pros:

The ease of use. Very intuitive. Their customer support is one of the best.

Cons:

Can do with more customization in things like the automated email notifications and date range views of reports.

Dashthis is a great report tool

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: In general, I had a great experience, moved to another product because of the price mainly. I liked more the Dash this design but the design is not enough reason as the other tool does the same job. In general, I think is a great product and beautifully built.

Pros:

Huge amount of integrations Great customer support Ease of use and nice looks

Cons:

Could be cheaper but for the rest I honestly did not find anything bad about it

Easy to use, great dataviz for the price

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: DashThis makes it easy to view all the marketing metrics I need to provide to my clients, at a glance. The dashboard is attractive and easy to use, and I only need to spend a couple minutes checking the data before presenting to my clients. For the price, DashThis blows the competition out of the water - no comparison.

Pros:

I've seen marketing analytics dashboards that are incredibly easy to use, highly customizable, and present all the data I want to see. But they're crazy expensive. DashThis is priced reasonably yet still manages to provide great analytics in a customizable dashboard.

Cons:

Drag and drop is a little clunky. Seems like data connectors could be handled a bit more elegantly. But those are minor quibbles.

User friendly, decent visualizations, and great customer service

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: If you're looking for a simple dashboarding tool that can help you convert complex data into decent charts then DashThis is ideal for you.

Pros:

We explored a lot of different reporting platforms but there was a steep learning curve for most. What separates Dashthis from other platforms, is the ease of learning and great customer support. It's easy to pull data from multiple sources.

Cons:

Visualizations are decent but they need an upgrade. It's also missing dynamic charts, transitions, and animations

Agile Reporting Software on Its Way Up

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: Streamlined weekly reporting process saving hours of my time.

Pros:

With a little big of learning (which my rep was SO helpful with), this software is pretty much plug and play for great dashboards with all kinds of customizable metrics. It makes my monthly reporting tasks for paid advertising with multiple accounts MUCH faster. The company can white label a report format for you as well, which takes that customization up a notch.

Cons:

Some of the features that shouldn't necessarily qualify as "advanced" (selecting specific campaigns to report on) aren't so user-friendly. The date selection features could use a little work (i.e. I don't want to have to create a whole new report just to report on a date range outside the norm) and sometimes the changes to editable content (like notes) doesn't populate in the pdf without going to the home screen first.

Flexible, Intuitive Custom Dashboards

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: DashThis significantly decreased the labor we spent creating custom marketing reports, while increasing the usability and clarity of data.

Pros:

DashThis is a very accommodating, flexible tool: we have a lot of control over layout, chart/graphic type, etc so we can really customize our client marketing reports. The number of data sources it integrates with---AdWords, Bing Ads, Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, etc---reduces our time to create live data reports.

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Cons:

Great Analytics Dashboards

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

I have been using DashThis for creating client reporting dashboards for over 5 years and I love it. It is so easy to set up and white label if you have many clients. You can clone dashboards for faster creation. You can save templates to easily recreate a dashboard. They have great integrations. Client service is great with very fast response times. My favorite feature, though, is the ability to hook up multiple data sources into one dashboard. We use this feature to easily see all our client performance listed in one dashboard so we can easily identify trends in the industry.

Cons:

I don't know if I can even think of one. Whenever I get stuck or need a new feature the team is helpful in finding a solution.

Best customer support and really usable product.

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

They have the greatest customer support. Very personal and quick. Not the typical short answers where you're left "alone" with the problem with some forum link. I also like their product. I've used loads of dashboard services from Tableu simpler ones and this really does the job since I'm able to quickly set up all my reporting for all of my needs including facebook, GA, adwords and more. I've been a loyal user for about 3 years and Dash This is nothing what it was 3 years ago. Loads of improvements to make my reporting life easier.

Cons:

Editing widgets can sometimes be tricky and you need to start from scratch sometimes with some widgets but they are changing this fast.

Everything at Your Finger Tips

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Once I have set up all the information I require from various data sources for my weekly reports, I save a lot of time in searching for the updated information every week for preparing my reports. This information is automatically updated.

Pros:

It consolidates all the data into an easy to view, awesome looking graphics on the dashboard. Instead of having to get data from various platforms such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads and various others, all these data sources can be fed into DashThis and viewed with impressive graphics and flexible layouts. Within minutes, a new user can be working like a pro producing beautiful graphics and charts.

Cons:

Can be expensive as there is a limitation for the number of widgets per dashboard and the software is priced by number of dashboards per plan. With so many data sources and information to display, a small company may require quite a few dashboards to display the health of its business, especially if it wants to monitor its traffic on various social media platforms, advertising avenues and analytics.

DashThis is Perfect for Clients

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: We've been using DashThis for around two years. We love the metrics and the reports we can run. Customer service is amazing, too!

Pros:

We love the fact that we are able to see a snapshot of our monthly metrics. This allows us, as a company, to see what is working and where we can improve. It is also very easy for our clients to read. They don't get lost in numbers and spreadsheets.

Cons:

There are no cons. We really enjoy using the software and our clients really enjoy the metrics reports we provide them.

Awesome Company with Personable Customer Service

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I've enjoyed working with DashThis and I'm happy to continue working with them.

Pros:

It's very easy to use and they provide preset widgets to help you get started. The customer service is incredible. They walked me through how to get started and assist me whenever I need help creating a new widget. Response time is very quick. As a side note, they often finish their emails with GIFs which is just a fun little extra thing that brightens my day.

Cons:

The reports are monthly which may not work for everyone. For example, I would not be able to compare two 6-week periods. I think this limitation is fine though given the price point.

Awesome tool for reporting marketing metrics

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Love the ease with which you can drag and drop widgets to create your custom report. Aldo the ability to have a living breathing reporting URL for clients.

Cons:

Sometimes the widgets get a bit funky or freeze up and it throws off your enter reporting system. You have to keep an eye and refresh the widgets periodically

I used DashThis monthly for Digital Marketing reporting for my clients.

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

The best thing about this software is how easy it is to use with its drag and drop feature and how you can customize your own templates to import metrics that you need for each client.

Cons:

I cant really say anything that I likes the least about this software. It worked well for me, but my company transition away from it because we wanted to be able to add pictures and text for more in-depth reports.

Great Dashboard Tool

Comments: Very positive. Great tool to help with organizing digital metrics.

Pros:

Very robust tool for customizing and building your dashboards to review a variety of digital metrics in one location. Problem-solver!

Cons:

A little tricky to understand once you start, but after a minute playing with the widgets, it's very easy. Just takes some basic understanding and trial and error.

Considered using for reporting features but decided on another software instead

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Loved the overall look and feel of reports. We were disappointed that the features didn't work out for us, because the branding and overall layout was great.

Cons:

Didn't clearly show month to month comparisons. Didn't provide demographic data of fans/followers. Didn't include post previews (just text). The "Summary" feature was lacking.

Middle of Pack Analytics Platform

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Good point and click marketing analytics platform. Easy to integrate several different platforms. Saves a ton of time.

Cons:

Product isn't much more of a more user friendly Google Analytics platform.. You can accomplish the exact same platforms by integrating your data sources into Google's Data Studio (Free).
