Databox Reviews & Product Details

Databox is able to integrate way more platforms and data sources than any others that I know (without spending an arm and a leg). The integrations are also really simple to set up on your own, which proves to me that they have an effective and replicable system on their backend. A lot of other competitors require their own team to set up integrations for you, which usually indicates that their solution is too clunky and unpredictable to make available for customers to do it themselves. It is for the exact opposite reason that Databox is awesome and my preferred choice for an aggregated reporting tool.

The interface can be slow at times, but I can appreciate why since it's often pulling data from so many sources at once. The other con is that the custom metrics are somewhat limited. I understand that they are limited by the API permissions of the sources (I know LinkedIn tends to be strict on what they make available via their API), but it would be nice to make the experience of setting up those custom metrics a little more smooth.

We're aggregating results from a variety of different platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Gartner Products, SEMRush, Google Analytics, and more. All of these (with the exception of the Gartner products) have native integrations and are able to pull data into one unified location in Databox. Our solution for Gartner has been in the form of a Zap through Zapier, which is less ideal than having integrations already available, but is acceptable since Zapier itself is available as an integration.

simple to use yet has many excellent features which enable us to perform our tasks with ease

nothing in particular to be honest with you

it helps with our analyitical needs and provides a great solution for our business needs

The platform as a whole is very intuitive. The sharing process is easy and the templates make the data look sophisticated, which is great for sharing data with clients. Building the data boards is my favorite feature. If you have a paid version of the software you can create custom metrics that make sense for your industry as well. Our company works with HubSpot and the crm integration is fantastic.

The free version has some limited metrics depending on which source you are pulling from.

We are gathering important data for our company and our client's in one place where we can easily see how our website, marketing, and sales efforts are performing.

Able to strategically queue workflow so that order of departmental procedures is optimized based on the specimens that arrive each day. The lab had a very specific objective to receive specimen shipments and process preliminary same-day results which was increasingly possible with databox in regards to analyzing our performance. It highlighted area where some tests/processes should be initiated at a different time in the day depending on volume.

I wasn’t an evaluator, just user. I imagine the capabilities of databox are expansive for technologically inclined users and analysts. I was responsible for a small part of data in my department so I never accessed some of the greater spreadsheet/collaborative/graphic data.

It helped us rearrange the queue of specimen processing and storage by type depending on quantity received each business day. Specimens are processed and run with different physical and biochemical techniques so the data allowed us to run testing and storage more efficiently. We made changes to our previously established workflow across multiple departments to ensure faster results distribution to clients and optimize specimen integrity. It saved money, time and added value to the product itself by way of quality improvement.

Greta product to use for data interpretation and management!

If your WiFi connection isn’t very strong it takes a long time to load.

I have been able to analyze most data more quickly.

I love using Databox to build my dashboards! I am not the best coder and it is amazing how I can build a dashboard without any coding necessary using Databox!

I do not dislike anything so far, but I honestly have not been using it for very long.

Building dashboards without having to code.

The pre-made dashboards and the support is great. There's countless other companies that you can sign up with and try to figure it out, but DataBox gives you ready-to-go templates that require very little setup. I didn't realize how many data points I didn't know existed.

I really can't think of any downsides, especially for what I use with their free plan.

We were able to connect data points across various systems (Youtube views with website views with facebook post likes, for example). The TV mode allows us to show a beautiful up to date dashboard that is aesthetically pleasing and easy to read. The vast and wide amount of connectors ensure us that we can connect to whatever service either we or our customer uses.

This is the most advanced business analysis software I have seen and itʻs disguised behind this very easy to use interface. However; donʻt be fooled by simple appearances because under the hood you have a lot of control over how data is managed, updated, presented, calculated, etc. Google Sheets integration is brilliant. This feature alone can transform most teams away from written status reports and boring meetings to real time analysis of whats actually happening so you can make decisions.

The top pricing plan is a bit expensive but it saves us so much itʻs not a big deal. We have very low data volume and activity but would like to have more connections. If there was a way to find that balance it would be nice.

Nearly real time marketing analytics that allows us to adjust inventory plans based on trends we would have otherwise missed or problems developing that can be managed early. We are a small company operating in a fast moving market where we can waste a lot of money in the wrong places if we are not paying attention. This also gives me great historical perspective on growth and gives me hard numbers on growth or decline and I donʻt need a CPA or CFO or anyone to prepare it for me.

The possibility for create beautiful and practical reports for our clients

Lack of integrations for Saas softwares that we use

We are reducing time of our analysts to build reports that used to be monthly and now is automated and real time!!

The templates with the commons channels that we use

lack of some niche data sources like real estate crms, leads management systems
