Considered Both Products	Databox Dustin Brackett CEO Chose Databox In comparison, Databox has been a more robust solution and one that works really well with HubSpot (our preferred marketing automation platform). It's a bit pricier than Cyfe was (not sure now), but the features are worth it. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Glover Content Marketer Chose Databox Much cheaper and seems to do at least as good of a job while having a similar integration stack. I also appreciate the efforts Databox go to on their blog and podcast to help educate people on all things data and metrics. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Databox Databox automatically integrates with tons of different data sources without you needing to arrange the backend information on how everything should connect. Tableau, Power BI, and Sisense require a lot of manual setup unless you have all of your fields perfectly matched up … Incentivized Helpful? Heather Robinette, MBA Marketing Manger Chose Databox While HubSpot is where we store our information and utilize the systems, the reporting wasn't deep enough and it didn't include the entire website since it is hosted elsewhere. So I started looking at options, and Databox came as a recommendation so I checked it out and haven't … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Databox Databox and Grow are similar tools, and truthfully, Grow is a more powerful platform with more sophisticated reporting, integrations, and a larger feature set. However, Grow is significantly more expensive and Databox has the features you need most for less of an investment. I … Incentivized Helpful? Stephanie Tran Sales System Architect Chose Databox HubSpot's reporting tool simply isn't enough. It also doesn't help that the reporting add-on for HubSpot is an additional $200/month, and it only reports on HubSpot stuff. That's why we selected Databox--to report on other platforms like FB ads, Google Analytics, etc. However, … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Pratt Managing Partner Chose Databox Databox is easier to set up and is much less costly. Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Berry SEO Strategy Specialist Chose Databox Databox is unique in its ability to report from multiple data sources. Google Analytics is the standard when it comes to web metrics, but it's just one of the tools that integrates with Databox. Tableau is fantastic for data visualizations and reporting, but it's much more … Incentivized Helpful?	Forest Admin No answer on this topic

User Testimonials
	Databox	Forest Admin
Likelihood to Recommend	Databox is fantastic for companies or agencies that regularly report on a variety of metrics from multiple data sources. It's ideal for any company that uses a variety of different tools (as long as Databox integrates with them). It's particularly good for HubSpot agencies and companies that use HubSpot. It's maybe not necessary for companies that only use one tool or don't do reporting. Incentivized Daniel Berry SEO Strategy Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	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. Incentivized Michael Glover Content Marketer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Databox is an intuitive, well-designed platform that can be used by non-technical marketers. It is easy to learn, and while set up takes time, usability is high and the team has enjoyed creating custom dashboards and clients have also given us great feedback regarding its usability and value. While other BI tools are much more complex to navigate, Databox is a breeze. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I have really enjoyed using Databox and have seen the value of it in many ways. They also continue to improve the functions of it and grow their integrations and templates. I look forward to continuing to use Databox in the future, potentially even finding ways to incorporate it into other departments to help them with reporting as well.

Alternatives Considered	While HubSpot is where we store our information and utilize the systems, the reporting wasn't deep enough and it didn't include the entire website since it is hosted elsewhere. So I started looking at options, and Databox came as a recommendation so I checked it out and haven't turned back. I didn't evaluate any other products because Databox met our need and we were able to get started right away.
