Martin L.
Head of IT EMEA
"Our department needs data from different systems. With Peakboard, all data sources can be united in one overview. The time saved is enormous, as the data from the upstream systems is syncronized automatically and, above all, live. We can now take action based on the real-time data without wasting time. Easy design of meaningful dashboards on the KPIs that are important to us. Intuitive way of working."

"You can dig into plotting simple data. If you like it a bit prettier, you can also use the countless templates and customize them easily. If you do need support, it is 100% on point and very personally interested. We used to implement wallboards with the help of old Windows laptops. I was thrilled that there was such a super solution for this to be handled more professionally."
Benjamin S.

Why Peakboard is the better solution.
Reliability
Each platform offers unique features tailored to specific use cases, and their reliability can be assessed based on several factors, including system architecture, fault tolerance, scalability, support, and community. When assessing reliability, Peakboard offers its own hardware devices designed to work seamlessly with its software. Peakboard not only allows you to read, combine, process, and visualize your data. You can also write it back to the source system or share it with your machines. Collecting data from a wide variety of data sources, evaluating it and visualizing it quickly and flexibly in real time anywhere is easier with Peakboard.
User friendly
Peakboard presents as an enhancing client interaction through real-time data visualization which can be compared with MS Power Point.
In only 30 minutes you can create a first dashboard with the help of step-by-step instructions.
However, Ignition is a customizable platform that can be tailored to fit a wide range of industrial automation applications. But Peakboard wins here thanks to the low-code platform’s ability to implement a project without any technical knowledge.
Fast results
One Workshop Day: That’s it. With Peakboard you can optimize your efficiency very easy and experience a ROI of 237 %. While Ignition puts its focus on integration capabilities.
A rudimentary implementation with Ignition often times takes longer because a decision has to be made directly for a larger project and cannot be started with a small use case.
