## vs Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards (RVS)

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.

## vs eazyBI

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.

## vs Custom Charts for Jira

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.

## Where Dashboards Rich Filters wins decisively

- **Privacy.** Built on Forge — no external servers. Your Jira data never leaves Atlassian.
- **Setup time.** Install, add the gadget, see your KPIs in under 60 seconds.
- **Ishikawa risk diagram.** No other Jira dashboard app on the Marketplace ships this out of the box (verified May 2026).
- **Full-page mode.** The Apps menu entry gives executives an immersive view; competitors require a custom dashboard layout.

## Where we won't pretend

- Dashboards Rich Filters is younger than eazyBI and RVS.
- For pixel-perfect chart customisation, Custom Charts is more flexible.
- For reporting across 5+ data sources, eazyBI is the right tool.
