Reviews
(1-8 of 8)Dashboards FTW
- Dashboard creation
- Tons of integrations
- Visuals
- Always could use more integrations
- Can get a little pricey
Great product
- Create dashboards from a variety of data sources.
- Set & track goals based on the data and metrics provided.
- Send alerts and scorecard updates to Slack and email automatically.
- More direct integrations so we don't have to rely on Zapier (ChartMogul would be great).
- Deeper integrations with certain partners to provide more options (mainly ActiveCampaign & Intercom).
Databox Rox
- Automatically connects data without you having to think about it. I had another reporting tool that required me to set up all of the data connections for HubSpot from scratch and it was such a pain that I basically had to give up. I'm no SQL expert. Databox just worked.
- The report wizard has good built-in boards that are great places to start building a view tailored to your specific needs
- Has a head-spinning amount of customization options and potential data sources.
- Some types of data can only be reported on for 1-2 months back. Unless I'm misunderstanding the function of the software this seems really weird. I can't figure out how to report on Activities more than 2 months ago
Very little technical knowledge, time, or money is required to get a much clearer picture of your data using Databox.
Databox Brings Reporting Into the 21st Century
- Databox provides unique capabilities for displaying reporting requirements.
- Databox allows users to connect multiple data sources into a single view, avoiding the need to log in to multiple software packages to access reporting in different formats.
- Databox lets people without access to certain reporting sources the ability to view reports from a web link, without requiring login credentials.
- Databox needs to expand their API connectors for existing connections.
- Databox needs to expand their available connectors to a larger list of source providers.
- Databox needs to make report setup and connection to different data sources more intuitive.
The Dashboard Reporting Tool You've Been Looking For
- Easy to read dashboards - This allows a user to communicate information quickly.
- Reporting for your needs (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) - This allows you to set the reporting structure that works for you.
- Easy to connect software - With a few simple clicks you can connect a large number of software programs.
- Reminders to update goals - It would be nice if every quarter or so it would remind you to adjust any goals as needed.
- Change the layout of reports on the dashboard - While not super difficult, it did take me a while to figure out how to move the reports around so it was just right.
- More templates with multiple sources - It would be nice to see more templates with multiple sources. While you can edit and add your own, it would be nice to see more of the common ones.
Databox is a great fit for departments or organizations that need to put their data into a readable form without needing a ton of reports. Databox allows you to save time and put together a nice report without having to do too much extra work. Once it is set up, it basically runs on its own at the frequency you set. I personally receive a daily report and have it sent to the respective people on the day of our meeting so we can quickly review it.
- Pulls in analytics from various digital data points.
- Easily design and create custom dashboards.
- Saves time and energy by creating a real-time measurement.
- Tracks goals and measures various KPIs.
- Lacks integration with several tools we use for digital marketing.
- Can be a bit complicated to get everything set up.
- The white label/company branding requires the business plan which is very expensive with not enough value add.
It's, like, 90% there. But that last missing 10% can hurt.
- Databox is constantly looking for new ways to improve their platform, which is great. Databox one year ago is very different than what it is now!
- If you know how to use the tool, it can be extremely powerful and flexible to what you're looking for. The ability to sync multiple different websites/platforms (HubSpot, Google Analytics, FB ads, etc) takes away the need to hop in and out of several different places for info.
- Databox is a great way to add additional value for clients who are looking for reporting. No more spreadsheets!
- Their support team is AWESOME and very responsive!
- It can be very difficult to learn Databox, so definitely account for a learning curve if you make the investment. We've run into several cases where we spend weeks trying to figure out how to report on something, but when we get support to help us they figure it out in like 2 seconds. Tory is awesome!
- Sometimes when HubSpot makes an update, it breaks our Databoards and then we have to go in and redo everything :(
