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.
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!
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?
Yes, there would be more value for you if there was more than one data source that you were interested in - either a third-party source, or custom data you push using our API. =)
