Pros
Relatively easy for beginners trying to become familiar with dashboards and kpi's yet powerful enough for "heavy lifting". I began with v1.7 and I have watched the product grow. The support is exceptional - a true give and take of ideas and code.
Cons
Early releases of Access 2007 can run into some bugs, but the support is there to identify and resolve them.
Summary
I like the product not only because it offers functionality that I need, but because the support is truly amazing. For example, I had a large need to filter the data that drove a meter and I wanted the value of the filter to be visible on the meter. I expressed this to the support staff and they sent me the VB code to make that happen. That was awesome! Another good thing about the product is that there are always new - USEFUL - features introduced in the newer versions. For instance, once you deliver a meter to a manager, their next request is to be able to drill down into the data represented in the meter. Well - the newest version of Dashboard Builder provides this ability. This tells me that the authors of the product are listening to realworld feedback and incorporating suggestions in the product.
