Overall Satisfaction with Cyfe
I have created a variety of dashboards that are accessed daily by management across our organization as well as by external partners. It is used to measure a variety of KPIs related to an online subscription service and associated mobile apps. It allows our management team to track growth as well as downturns in our business.
- Provides an easy way to visualize data
- Is flexible and offers a variety of ways to connect widgets to various data sources
- Has direct integration with various key third-party web services
- Documentation is sparse and confusing
- Functionality is fairly basic and at times buggy
- Third party integrations are limited and stagnant, very few have been added since we began using it
- Widgets lack individual settings such as support for different date ranges
- Widgets have limited customization options
The price was a big selling point but more importantly the third-party integrations that are offered were the deciding factor. Offering support for services that we use regularly like Google Analytics, Apple's iTunes Connect, Facebook, etc., allow us to get real time access to data without having to manually maintain spreadsheet based reports.
