Dashboards bring your data to life, but interactive or static—which fits your business? As solutions architects, we help you choose the right tool to unlock insights and drive decisions. Here’s how to decide.

What’s an Interactive Dashboard?

Interactive dashboards let users dive into data live. You filter, drill down, and explore from every angle.

Why Go Interactive?

Keeps Users Hooked

Playing with data sparks curiosity. Users dig deeper and learn more.

Tailored Views

Focus on what matters to you. Customize queries to fit your questions.

Live Insights

Real-time updates keep you current. Decisions reflect the latest trends.

What’s a Static Dashboard?

Static dashboards show fixed data snapshots. They’re set, with no options to tweak or explore.

Why Choose Static?

Same View Every Time

Consistent displays suit standard reports. Everyone sees the same story.

Straightforward Design

They’re simple to build and read. No tech skills are needed.

Easy Sharing

Export as PDFs for quick distribution. Perfect for broad audiences.

Know Your Needs

Your choice hinges on your business, data, and users. Let’s break it down.

Data and Report Types

Complex data needing deep dives? Go interactive. Simple overviews? Static works fine.

Who’s Using It?

Analysts love interactive for real-time analysis. General staff or clients often favour the simplicity of static dashboards.
