Adriel is very adaptive to our needs with managing hundreds of clients. It’s vital for us to have a birds-eye view as well as a close-up view of everything that’s going on in all of our accounts, and we get that and more with Adriel. My favorite part is the alerts feature - knowing when something is off track right away has been hugely beneficial. Bonus: their team is a pleasure to work with.

How does Geckoboard compare to other data visualization tools?

We can compare Geckoboard against other data visualization and BI tools using these features:

The pros:

Ease of Use: Geckoboard offers a no-code, self-service approach that allows users to easily create and embed business dashboards. This contrasts with some platforms that may require coding skills, making Geckoboard more accessible for those without technical expertise.

Unlimited Users: One of Geckoboard's strengths is its support for an unlimited number of users. This encourages collaboration and is particularly beneficial for larger teams, unlike some platforms that limit user access.

The cons:

Limited Integrations: Geckoboard supports only 80+ native connectors, while other business intelligence software like Adriel offers 650+.

No Campaign Editing: Unlike Adriel, Geckoboard does not allow users to edit campaigns directly within the platform.

Limited Alert Customization: Geckoboard's alert system is less flexible than Adriel's. It only allows alerts on numbers and gauge widgets, not on specific data sources or custom metrics.

Limited Dashboard Customization: Geckoboard offers fewer customization options for dashboards, including a fixed color scheme, which could be a drawback for those looking to tailor the look and feel to match their brand or client needs.

Lack of Creative Insights: Geckoboard does not offer ad creative intelligence, a feature that Adriel provides for deeper analysis and optimization of ad campaigns.
