Overall, BrightGauge is an excellent tool for businesses that need to track and manage KPIs in real-time. Its user-friendly interface and extensive integrations make it easy to set up and use, while the real-time data updates ensure that users are always informed about changes in their data. While the pricing structure may be a bit confusing, the benefits of using BrightGauge for data visualization and analysis make it a worthwhile investment for many businesses.

As a user of BrightGauge software in my company, I have found it to be a highly useful and intuitive tool for managing and visualizing key performance indicators (KPIs) in real-time. BrightGauge offers a wide range of integrations with popular data sources, such as QuickBooks, ConnectWise, and Microsoft Excel, which makes it easy to consolidate and analyze data from various sources in a single platform.One of the major pros of BrightGauge is its user-friendly interface. Setting up dashboards and reports is a breeze, with customizable widgets that can be easily dragged and dropped onto the screen. The platform offers a wide range of pre-built templates for different industries and KPIs, so users can get started quickly and easily. The dashboards are highly visual, with charts, gauges, and tables that make it easy to identify trends and patterns in the data.Another major advantage of BrightGauge is its real-time data updates. The platform is designed to provide users with up-to-date information on key metrics, which is critical for making informed business decisions. The software offers a wide range of notification options, including email, SMS, and mobile alerts, which ensures that users stay informed about changes in their data.

However, there are also a few cons to using BrightGauge. The pricing structure can be a bit confusing, with different plans and add-ons that can quickly add up. Additionally, the platform does not offer a lot of advanced analytics and reporting features, which may be a drawback for some users.

Overall, the product is powerful and helpful, but support could be improved. Unfortunately, all products owned by ConnectWise has seen a decrease in support effectiveness since the company was sold.

BrightGauge allows us to fairly easy create gauges and dashboards that help our team be aware of any issues that need addressed. There are a impressive amount of gauges supplied out of the box.

Since the product was acquired by ConnectWise, we have seen a decrease in the level of support that we receive. Previous to the acquisition, I was always very impressed by the level of support that I received. Now, support is less helpful and responsive.

BrightGauge is decent enough to use, but doesn't pack a punch like PowerBI does. It lacks many features and is not as easy to use.

The CPU demand is very low for Bright Gauge, which will attract a lot of people, as it's rivals can be more demanding on that front.

It doesn't feel fluid to use. I enjoy using PowerBI as it feels like a reliable environment. BrightGauge just doesn't feel like a finished product. It's almost like it's trying to get there, but it's missing some fundamentals, like ease of use.

We run very tight metrics on our service tickets in CWmanage. time to acknowledgement of a ticket through time to resolution. We also perform weekly ticket load as well as use these metrics to award monthly bonuses

The best part of the software is it's compatibility with CW Manage and Automate. We run many reports and metrics for our services and sales team and find the ease of ouse very helpful.

It has become very annoying to see features added and then we have to pay more for them. We have to pay more to simply perform calculations? or to charge us simply to setup a new user? both are a bit ridiculous.

This software is great for pulling in data from multiple product sources. It allows you to define gauges, and put those gauges on dashboards or reports. We initially bought it for monthly client reporting, so that we could include data on their reports from multiple sources. However, we quickly found that creating dashboards for different things (service, techs, sales, opportunities) we could reduce internal emails flying around, and help drive staff towards the items that need attention.

Love the ability to create customer reports from multiple product sources! We also love the dashboards we can make. It's helped reduce errors from missed email notifications, and instead we can work the dashboards to "manage towards green". The dashboards have really transformed the way we keep track of everything in our organization.

I would like to see more information available from the different datasources. I would also like to see a greater understanding on the developer's part of the different datasources. Sometimes there are issues they just don't understand (How can a ConnectWise opportunity not have a start date?). I would also like to see better ways for mixing different types of data from the datasource. Sometimes the capabilities of the gauges can feel very rigid, and you might want to look at the data in a different way, but can't. We would love features that allow us to use the data in the way that we wish. For example, I would like to be able to look at ConnectWise activities, filter by type, and then know how long they have been in certain stages. Same thing for tickets, or opportunities. BrightGauge should give us the ability to log, and know know how long an object has been in a particular state. That would be a very powerful feature for us. One other thing that is major annoyance is there is no way to sort reports by the company they were created for. It would be such an easy thing to fix but 1.5 years later and we still can't sort on this column. This means when you are doing overhauls or audits, it's extremely difficult to know which customers have been addressed, and which haven't. Huge pain in the rear, and such an easy fix. Sometimes your PDF reports don't generate for really no reason. That is also annoying.
