Hello Product Hunters 👋
Today I’m delighted to announce the biggest set of changes to Geckoboard since we launched 9 years ago. The reason Geckoboard exists is the same now as it was then: to connect teams with their most important data so they can stay motivated and focused. The changes we’re announcing today make it easier than ever to create great dashboards and communicate your most important metrics to your team.
Focus and clarity
Data can be as complex as you need it to be. But we have seen that most businesses can unlock the huge benefits of data simply by identifying their most important metrics, getting hold of them, and showing them to as many people on their team as possible.
Communicating key data to teams is our sole purpose at Geckoboard. We help you do this by ensuring that your core data is:
1. Quickly and easily accessible for your team
2. Understandable at a glance
3. Always up to date
Why?
I love data, or, more specifically I love seeing the meaningful changes that useful data brings about. But I’ve always distrusted terms like “data-driven” or “big data,” and the current obsession with AI and ML. They represent something that’s defined the data industry for the past 40 years: the false notion that becoming informed by data is inherently complex (and expensive). This has led to bloated solutions, implementation-creep and systems that, if they ship, are so complex only a few people use them on a daily basis.
In 2020, collecting and analyzing data is no longer the problem. And the real challenge for most businesses is not solved by big data implementations or machine learning. It’s solved by clearly communicating key data to the people who can make a difference: teams. This is where the magic happens, when you have a group of people all focused on the same thing, informed and without distraction. It’s a vision we’ve been working on since 2010, and the basis for today’s major product update.

Have implemented Geckoboard for a few clients and they’re loving it. Will continue to be on the recommended list for our upcoming business process consulting clients.
I've been a using @geckoboard for years across 3 of my companies. It's become one of my go-to tools to start sharing information w/ my teams, and I recommend it regularly. Highlights:
* Fastest dashboard system to get up and running quickly
* Huge list of pre-built integrations, meaning we need to custom build less
* Great looking dashboards, so our team is proud of publishing their work
@paulmjoyce congrats on the new launch and the new brand!
@josephfung thank you for your kind words and for being a customer for so long. After 10 years running Geckoboard, hearing real customers speak about the product like this feels incredible.
@mickc79 I know product pricing is often an issue for smaller companies, particularly with the sheer volume of SaaS products in modern stacks - it all adds up!
We tried hard to make it accessible at the low end with a $39/mo starter plan which includes 2 dashboards, and think that it offers good value for money for a service that offers what we offer, while still allowing for a sustainable business model (i.e. +ive gross margins, not subsidized by external capital), that allows us to design a product and experience for the long term.
I'd love for you to give us a try (no cc needed for the first 30 days), I genuinely think you'll see that it's worth more even more than $39/mo. But regardless, I appreciate the feedback, it has been noted.
@paulmjoyce Thanks Paul, my company has 4 people in it, and arguably only 2 of us (myself and the other co-founder) would have the board up on a TV. But that would require a "team" account. Just can't justify $130 (or whatever it is) for a board on 2 screens.
Looks good. I have been using Tableau to connect to my own datasources to come up with dashboard myself. But if this one natively integrate to my sources, I can skip 2 steps. Will give it a try.
@martin_smit I'm sorry to hear you're having issues. Checked this side but can't reproduce.
We have a genuinely world class support team who are standing by ready to help. Could you drop them a line with your details at https://support.geckoboard.com/h...
I've been a Geckoboard user for 7-8 years and absolutely loooooove this update! Can't stop recommending it enough. Incredible work @n_h_e_r_r@nickwsmith@paulmjoyce !! The rebrand is stunning.
