Hi guys, I'm one of the founders of Leftronic. Please check out our solution - I'm sure you'll be impressed. If you have any feedback/questions/concerns, please email me: rajiv at leftronic dot com.

I'm biased, but yes, this is a real pain for many companies. I will grant you that not every company that has the visibility problem is aware of our solution, but we will change that. =) And companies are actively seeking us out.

Would love it if you would test-drive our solution and give me your candid thoughts. Email is rajiv at leftronic.

Thanks!

Hey Jeff, Rajiv here, one of the founders of Leftronic. Here's how we're different:

* We have a custom push API enables you to update your dashboard in real-time. (And our pull API is going to come out in the next day or two.)

* Our interface is completely vector-based, which makes it work on any browser or screen size. And it's very flexible and configurable, so you can set up your dashboards exactly the way you want!

* We have no restrictions on the amount of data you push to us for custom feeds, nor do we restrict the number of instances of the dashboard you have simultaneously running.

* Our visualizations are minimalistic on purpose, which makes them immensely glanceable.

* Our data connectors pull data from third-party services as fast as their API's allow us to. We're only limited by the other side, not ours.

* We have dashboard templates that get you set up with your dashboards in a single click.

* Our integrations into the various data services are very thorough and robust.

* We have a couple more tricks up our sleeve that I can't mention yet, but stay tuned! ;)

If you have any other questions, I'd love to hear from you so please shoot me an email!

Thanks!

Rajiv

Paul from Geckoboard here. Just to clarify that we offer both a polling and push API.

To expound on the value of their API, I'm non-technical and was able to figure out their API and rig up a pretty fancy dashboard using custom data feeds from one of our vendors in a few hours. It was pretty great being able to actually make something using someone's API that quickly.

I think that is one of the things giving us pause is the price.

Yeah, I have absolutely no business use case for this, but I do have a spare 30" Dell in my office and would love to play around with this. I wouldn't pay more than $10 or $15 per month, though.

I think the pricing should be setup more of a way to get you hooked on the crack. You give some crack for free, get addicted, and want more. I think most corporations have a need for many dashboards. So what about two for free and get them addicted, and they want more?

They do have a free plan, which gets you one dashboard and unlimited custom metrics.

I'm pretty sure Geckoboard does push now too. That said Leftronic is clearly better, but also more expensive.

Better visualizations, direct database access, sound alerts and better price (free)

That's great to hear! Please send an email to rajiv at leftronic or support at leftronic if there's any way I can assist you in the process!

Thanks for the kind words, Itay.

Thanks for the feedback, yes, we will include some great case studies in the near future!

I'm Rajiv, by the way, one of the founders. Please shoot me an email (rajiv at leftronic) and I'd love to help you get set up!

Thanks Bjorn!

I completely agree with your point 'the human mind is amazing at pattern recognition'. From personal experience, I can say I am a 'visual' person. (So much so that my startup is entirely based on this premise, because I think our eyes are amazing analytics tools.) But to my point: is that the case for everybody? Is everyone 'visual', or do some folks think better 'visually' than others?

well definitely not blind people.

We'll be putting out pricing information very shortly! Please check back in a couple weeks!

Thanks! Yes, Salesforce is in the works. What specifically would you like to see?

Awesome tool! something we wanted to build internally. Do you guys allow access to my DB? (like chart.io)

Hey Vivek! We have a push model, where you send the data to Leftronic using our API.
