Overlap. Both products focus on multi-select filtering for Jira dashboards. The names are similar but the vendors are independent — RVS is a long-established Marketplace partner; Dashboards Rich Filters is published by elolin.
Where Dashboards Rich Filters differs. RVS is primarily a filter framework — it provides filter controls that other gadgets subscribe to. Dashboards Rich Filters bundles both the filter panel and the analytics: KPIs, sprint burndown, Ishikawa risk diagram, milestones timeline, recent activity, all driven by the same global filter selection. Dashboards Rich Filters also exposes a full-page jira:globalPage entry, which RVS does not.
Pick RVS if you already have a curated set of gadgets and only need filter controls to chain them.
Pick Dashboards Rich Filters if you want an executive-cockpit experience with no gadget assembly.
Overlap. Both deliver analytics on Jira data.
Difference in philosophy. eazyBI is a full BI platform with custom calculated measures (MDX), multi-source data integration, and deep flexibility. It is powerful but requires analytics-engineer skills. Dashboards Rich Filters is opinionated: it ships a curated executive dashboard that works in seconds with zero MDX and zero data modelling.
Pick eazyBI if you need cross-source data (Jira + Tempo + Insight + external), custom KPIs, or you have a dedicated BI engineer.
Pick Dashboards Rich Filters if you want a ready-made executive dashboard a PMO or delivery lead can use immediately, and you want everything to run on Atlassian-hosted Forge with no external data movement.
Overlap. Both render charts inside Jira dashboards.
Difference. Custom Charts is a chart-builder — pick a chart type, configure fields, save, repeat for every chart you want. Dashboards Rich Filters is a chart-bundle — 12+ pre-designed views shipped together (including the Ishikawa fishbone, which Custom Charts does not offer) wired to a single filter panel.
Pick Custom Charts if you want full control over every chart’s appearance and you don’t mind building each view manually.
Pick Dashboards Rich Filters if you want a coherent, executive-grade dashboard with one click.
