## Reviews

### "Excellent framework to create interactive visualisations" — 5.0/5

> **Debarpan** | *18 April 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Excellent interface and user-friendly UI&#10;Open-source and free &#10;Good community support&#10;Connects to multiple data sources like flat files, multiple databases&#10;Visualisations update when data is updated&#10;Multiple developers can access a visualisation simultaneously - Good team collaboration&#10;Real-time analytics &#10;Minimal time required to set up and get started
> 
> **Cons**: Customer support could be improved&#10;Optimal memory allocation for larger datasets
> 
> We used Dash to generate visualisations. We had huge volumes of data from an enterprise system. We switched to Dash since it looked promising with a wide range of visualisation options and was free. With Dash, we were able to create excellent visualisations, perform analytics to uncover insights, and share the reports with stakeholders. Dash can connect with multiple applications hence we can leverage the capabilities of other advanced analytics applications. Next, all visualisations are stored in a repository and cen be referenced later.

### "User-Friendly Platform with Strong Overall Value" — 4.0/5

> **Rob** | *2 June 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about Dash was its ease of use, intuitive design, reliable performance, and ability to streamline tasks efficiently. The platform made it simple to find information, stay organized, and complete work quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: One drawback was the lack of flexibility to fully meet all of our organization's unique needs and workflows. While the platform offers useful features, certain limitations made it difficult to customize processes and adapt the system to specific operational requirements.
> 
> Overall, we had a very positive experience. The platform was easy to use, provided valuable functionality, and helped improve efficiency. The support and resources available also contributed to a smooth and successful experience throughout our use of the system.

### "Versatile, But Lacking Finesse" — 3.0/5

> **Abby** | *8 June 2026* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Dash has a lot of abilities with a POS, calendar system, booking systems, league booking, scheduling, and billing, memberships and even more. There are also a lot of analytics and data you can get from Dash.
> 
> **Cons**: Dash has very limited flexibility in what it is able to do, and is often extremely clunky. Lots of options can take you to the same place, but do slightly different things. For instance: there are 2 - 3 places you can check someone in, but they don't all talk to each other, and you can't get a very easy list of what they were checked in for.
> 
> Overall, Dash has a lot of potential, but I struggle with actually getting a lot of it to work in a helpful way. The customer service staff tries to be helpful, but from a higher level, we have to work around a lot of quirks, and the company is not particularly interested in making this easier for us as a business.

### "Great platform for a Sports Complex and Recreation Venue" — 5.0/5

> **Edward** | *12 June 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The number of reports that are available for our business.&#10;They allow us to produce accurate financial statements each month.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the reports do not format well in a PDF.  The information is not printable as created, so I often find myself having to download them as an Excel sheet.
> 
> I have been working with DASH for over 15 years and have seen the platform expand to be more user friendly and robust.  Anytime we have an issue there is someone to assist.

### "Daysmart review at IceWorks Aston, PA" — 5.0/5

> **Christine** | *6 June 2026* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fairly easy to use.   Lots of features being able to copy items for a prior season or session helps with the setup of a new one.  Being able to send email/text reminders \&amp; blasts to customers.
> 
> **Cons**: Split tender transactions are not very user friendly.  They are more cumbersome than they need to be.
> 
> Been good no major problems during the time that I have been using the product.  Lots of reporting options.
