What is BrightGauge?
BrightGauge is a web based application that serves as a data visualization and centralization tool for your current PSA, RMM, and Finance software(s). We help you get the most out of your data source(s) by accessing, grouping, and simplifying data that most of these tools have “hidden”/stored in their databases across multiple tables without a simple way to display or report on. Apart from accenting each software individually, BrightGauge allows you to bring together multiple data sources into our platform, whether it's an on-premise system with our secure agent or connected via an API to a hosted provider. These tools are typically built as silos with limited interoperability. Each has its unique strengths, but they keep their proprietary content “locked” internally, leaving gaps and incomplete coverage in your business. We help you break down the barriers of these data silos and bring all your key business data together.
In order to help you leverage your data, there is a three step process from your datasource to the end result visualization that we will define now and explain later. The key definitions are:
Now that you have that basic understanding, read below for key differences and more detailed definitions of each of these terms.
Datasets vs. Gauges
Datasets and Gauges are what power the BrightGauge app; datasets serve as a backbone while gauges serve as a brain per se.
Gauges use these fields to display information in the form of several charts such as tables, vertical bar graphs, line graphs, horizontal bar graphs, pie charts, number headings, lists, and tables.
Dashboards vs. Reports
Dashboards and Reports are both tools that are built off of Gauges and are used to group, display, and share data. Just like Gauges, Dashboards and Reports are customizable and can be tailored to best fit your needs.
