Plecto Overview
What is Plecto?
Plecto is a business dashboard software which allows businesses of any size to build their own customized dashboards, and visualize data from any source or system. With data visualization, gamification and data management technology, Plecto aims to help users track their KPIs, engage teams and coach employees simply and effectively, from a single platform. Native mobile apps for iOS and Android give users the flexibility to track their performance on the move.
Plecto’s custom business dashboards provide users with a visual display of real-time data, which allow users to track their business goals and results conveniently at-a-glance. Users can create their own custom dashboards easily with Plecto’s dashboard widgets and drag and drop tools. Plecto enables users to add and display data on their dashboards from multiple data sources including integrations, spreadsheets, databases and manual registrations.
Users can source data automatically through Plecto’s dashboard integrations with software such as Salesforce, Podio, Pipedrive and Zendesk, or, seamlessly, through Zapier or the Plecto API. Plecto also enables users to build dashboards from Excel spreadsheets or an SQL database. Further to data visualization, Plecto incorporates gamification dashboards, which support leaderboards, achievements and friendly contests. Plecto’s gamification features aim to enhance team motivation, and create an engaging work environment.

Once we changed to Plecto, we never looked back
The support were on hand via video chat and text chat when we ran into difficulty and gave us free training sessions which was great.
It's far better for gamification in a sales office than some competitors
Great system in theory, just hard to set up the way I'd wanted.
Customer Service was tough to get a hold of being in the United States since the time zone in Europe was drastically different. They were helpful, although it would've been great to have more support for setting up my page / dashboard. I wasn't able to get my page and inputs set up the way I had hoped.
I might consider Plecto again if I could have more support.

Once we changed to Plecto, we never looked back
Pros
Really good functionality and ability to integrate to our CRM (HubSpot).
Live data and deals notifications
Very customisable and flexible for our business needs (tracking sales visually)
Cons
It's complicated when you first start as it's code based and really takes some learning
Response from Plecto
Hi James,
Thank you very much for the positive review. We're glad to hear that Plecto is a good tool for your company. In regards to the onboarding; we're currently working on launching a simpler version, so that it will become much easier for new (not techsavvy) users to get going with the platform.
Thank you for taking the time to review our product :)
Have a great day.
Best regards,
Maiken
Plecto enables your visibility!
Pros
The ability to do gamification about most every KPI that I have in my company is absolutely great. At our company only our sales team cared about the results, this made everyone in the company have complete visibility of any important metric that we have, this made our teams realize the importance of following our metrics and not just seeing their own personal metrics.
Cons
The way they charge per user for us makes it difficult because it's not based on Account Users, but how many people you show on the graphs inside plecto, since we have a big team this skyrocketed the pricing.

Pros
It is a very robust system, great for tracking analytics and having a visual display of them. A lot of customizable options.
Cons
It was very hard to set up and I'm a tech savvy 25 year old. It would be nice to have the option to have someone help you set it up or at least get started on it. Customizing was easy, but getting the input fields to match up with what I had wanted for displays and inputting the data just never added up.
It would be nice to have your centralized dashboard and keep everything in that. And if you wanted to have separate tabs or "projects" - then we should
Response from Plecto
Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Plecto.
We love to hear your feedback - and the part about the challenges actually helps us understand how to further develop the product, to better fit your needs.
I can also disclose, that we'll be launching a new onboarding flow in the coming days, which will include pre-defined formulas and a more user friendly interface for new users - to improve the onboarding process, and to help new users get familiar with the product even faster.
Have a great day :)

Worth the investment!
Pros
It took a little while to understand how to set up the formulas behind the data, but once you get it, it's very easy. The onboarding went smoothly, and their support team is very knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful. We chose Plecto to build our dashboards because of the easy setup and the interactive integrations they offered. We display leaderboards all around our office, and prompt fun notifications at particular achievements (such as when a new deal has been closed).
Cons
I wish there were more options with regards to the designs of certain widget types, such as displaying the values above each bar chart or adjusting the size of particular texts. Though I guess their simplicity is also their strength.
Great way to keep track
Pros
The intuitive dashboard and multiple dataintegrations, enables you to track valueable KPI's with ease
Cons
Could be more focus on competitions - you're pretty limited in terms of what kind of competitions you can make through the platform. Making it more open-source, letting the user's create more different kind of competitions would help us not using third party software / manual entries for these competitions.
Response from Plecto
Hi Gabriel
Thanks for reviewing us. I would love to hear more about what kind of competitions you would like us to add. Please write me back on [email protected] and tell me more about your ideas, how you use competitions today, and also which third party software / manual entries you have.
Im looking forward to hear from you.
Kind regards
