Visual representation of data makes it much easier to have conversations with clients about their results.
The Databox team is always making updates to include new features or meet requests of users. If I ever have something I don't like, I just submit it to them and it is often changed or fixed!
This helps a lot with catching misconfigurations and aiding in conversations about results with clients.
Databox has a large number of integrations with most of the apps used in sales, marketing and customer service. It's extremely easy to set them up and start pulling data for your dashboards and other reports. The power of doing this is that you get instantaneous views of all of your KPIs and you can customize them to include the most relevant from multiple data sources. This makes analyzing data much easier and a better for coming up with insights. I also really like the notifications and alerts based on goals and thresholds. This keeps you and your team accountable and aware as your efforts yield results or encounter challenges. That enables faster and more flexible response that can turn things around quickly and save both time and money.
There isn't much to dislike. From an agency point of view, Databox is working on custom reporting that would allow you to engage more directly in dashboards with text and graphics. When that capability matures, the tool will be a Godsend for agencies developing monthly or ad hoc reports for their clients.
Monitoring and analyzing sales and marketing data that enables flexible strategic adjustments on a much more timely basis than looking at snapshots once a month. This translates into more efficient use of manpower and budget and also enables faster growth.
tailored dashboards were great. It is quick and easy to set up and so customizable.
it rounds up numbers and I am not sure how to make some of the points more exact. I am sure there is a way though.
sales forecasting and employee KPI tracking
It is so easy to set up Powerful Dashboards in minutes because of multiple templates helping you to represent any activity in an easy and clear way! Very valuable for team leaders to take quick and efficient decisions and to teams to track their activity and progress compared to team mates...
Nothing to say it is way better than all the dashboards tried before!
It helped a lot to make the team concentrate on their work while the manager monitor the activity easily and take the decisions according to the current and future situations.
I liked the system easy to use and understanding.
Should have more affordable plans for freelancers.
For analysis of my Kpis
I've been using Databox for just a couple of days and I think it's really good. Colour me impressed.
It's a bit expensive, I wish there was a middle step between the free and paid steps.
Making sure I'm aware of all the figures the matter
Databox is fantastic at giving me one central point of reporting across multiple services. It's even better at enabling my agency to expedite client reporting and spend more time analyzing data instead of just compiling it. One of the best things about it is the number of applications they integrate with. We use it for our clients, and we can finally pull in information from multiple systems quickly and make changes based on that. It also allows for new types of reporting that previously required a whole lot of excel mashups. We can track ad performance next to our CRM pipeline of deals from that source to a get a full picture of how things are being affected.
Not much to dislike. The team is really quick at adding new data sources and taking metric requests.
Centralized Reporting is now much, much easier. I don't have to pull from a bunch of different systems to get a high-level report. I can spend more time analyzing data and less time pulling it together.
i have used many data analytics tools over the years, and Databox is hands down one of the best. Its mobile app is really user friendly and integrates well with slack. Its easy to set up and great for small to medium size marketing teams, but could also be projected on tv screens for larger teams to monitor progress.
i have a lot of small ad accounts, so i hit the 10 account limit pretty fast on the lowest plan, would love to have a way to add more integrations only without upgrading to the next tier.
monitoring of campaign performance and business in a timely manner. being able to check vital stats anytime, anywhere.
I'm able to mash up my Google analytics with our Stripe account so I can get a full view of our funnel, from traffic to trial to activation all in one snapshot. Our investors love this and it helps keep our team on track.
At first, the user interface was a little overwhelming. But after some trial and error, I got the hang of it.
Before, we had to look at 2-3 different datasources and put them into a spreadsheet manually. Now we can see our business performance by opening the shareable link to our dashboard!
The attractive dashboards that are easy to create from templates. The range of data connections is impressive too.
Not a lot to dislike. It would be nice if you could connect more than one data point at a time.
Agency reporting - getting info to our clients quickly and with less work on our part.
It's simple, elegant, smooth and so far i've seen the best one out there. Why? Well first of all the function that you can "rotate" multiple dashboards on 1 single screen. Most competitors offer 1 screen that you have to change manual. But seeying the same (static in many cases) data for 8 hours on the same screen is kind of useless. Databox nailed it by making it possible to show multiple "dashboards" over time. I would definitly recommend it to any small/medium and even large compagnies. You can utilize it in so many ways. This exceeds the "data guy only" insights. With Databox the "data guy" can make things visual so easy for a full team/presentation or whatever. I'm in love!
From free to payed is a step from 0 to 1000. I would rather like to see a step from 0 to 250 or might even 0 to 500. Don't get me wrong, even their free account is superb. But for a small company the step from 0 to 1000 a year is pretty big.
One centralized place. Easy to manage metric. So we solved having to login to multiple accounts with multiple "viewports" with multiple settings etc etc. It took away a big headache.
Databox solved all my problems with displaying info to the investors. Awesome service.
Free plan is for 3 data boards only, but actually it's quite alright for an early-stage startup.
Transparency for the current and future investors
I definitly fell in love with Databox. Exactly what I was looking for to get some great data vizualization.
Only 3 connectors free on forever free plan
It helps me get the data I care about in just one glance.
I love using Zapier and automating many of my tasks. The ability to easily integrate with Zapier is great!
I have not came across anything that I dislike about the functionality of this product. Perhaps the monthly cost is an expense that my business can not afford, but having the free tier is amazing!
The abilty to visualize my sales data.
The ability to connect multiple data sources to a single portal and build out a dashboard of data modules specific to my needs has been a real game changer for our agency. Additionally, the ability to enter goals and perform calculations between metrics is a huge opportunity for us to level up our reporting.
The designer interface is a little confusing at first, but was pretty easy to manipulate and maneuver once I got a good lay of the land.
To date, our monthly, quarterly, and annual campaign reporting has been an incredibly manual process. And the output we've included in our reports hasn't always provided actionable insights or groundbreaking optics. This is an opportunity to change that!
Databox is a cut above the rest when it comes to the visualization of data. I've tried a number of products in this category and can confidently say that from a design perspective they are the leading age. The integrations they have and are building towards and also very strong. I've connected Hubspot as well as Google Sheets (via Zapier) and am very pleased with the results.
Not a native Google Sheets integrations. Having to connect through Zapier was a bit of a pain, but the team at Databox went well beyond expectations to help with the connections.
Getting strong visualizations of data that are accessible both on mobile and web.
Databox is great for connecting the metrics/data from multiple systems into one cohesive tool (and ultimately, dashboards + reports).
I do wish there were more default metrics, but we can get what we need through the custom metric creation, so a non-issue for our use case.
Databox helped us deepen our marketing analytics reporting - as HubSpot's default reporting settings/metrics left a lot to be desired.
great for visualising stats in an easy to understand manner that work greats for reports and integrates with so many third party apps
sometimes when creating metrics in the query builder its not so user friendly and one thing works and another thing won't when you have laid them out the exact same way
marketing performance reporting and is vastly better then the Hubspot reporting
The support is great, they are quick to help and they are very welcoming with tips and tricks. The software itself looks good and there are some good functions that make it possible to give lots of data visualisation in a clear way.
Myself, I'm more of the coding type that is used to R Shiny or Python Dash. This is more click and drop and the metrics are calculated in a more non-coding manner. This comes down to preference
They worked on extra possible rows for SQL querries, much appreciated. Also they helped me set up the connection to the database, this was done in a very helpfull and quick manner.
We're able to pull data from multiple sources into a single-page dashboard for our clients and our own business. Something we can't always do in other software packages (such as Marketing and CRM), so we rely on DataBox to give us all the metrics we need in a single view.
Sometimes, the setup of data sources and selection of the right data points/fields/metrics is complicated. Though this is less a DataBox issue and more relating to our experience with the many sources we have to draw data from.
As a marketing consuntancy, we've struggled with an inability to get everything we need (from a data point of view) into a single dashboard that can support better decision making for our clients.
