Overall Satisfaction with Astrato

We evaluated it as a low cost, low effort BI Solution for companies that have their data on Snowflake and/or Google Spreadsheets, and do not want or are able to download and install a BI tool. We also consider recommending it as a teaching tool for Business Intelligence, due to the fact that it is free in its entry form.
  • Beautiful looking graphs
  • Simple Data Connection
  • Simple data joins
  • No install, zero-footprint.
  • Handling massive amounts of data. Simplicity ends there.
  • Template objects need to be explained better in the documentation.
  • Ability to connect to more data sources.
  • Simple to use
  • Easy to visualize data relationships
  • Dashboard templates illustrate visual best practices.
  • Simple to configure and to use when the budget is not large.
  • Nice teaching resource for Business Intelligence consultants
  • Zero cost for personal use, making it a nice way to add a dashboard to a project.
It is simpler to use than all of them. Easier to connect to Google spreadsheets and Snowflake than all of them.
It is free for up to five users and one workspace. Instantly beats all the competition.
No download required: Beats Power BI and Tableau.
No windows machine required: Beats Power BI.

Yes

Did implementation of Astrato go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Astrato again?

Yes

It is well suited when connecting to a single database per workbook, and when the person designing the workbook knows the data well, or if the tables and field names are self-explanatory. A good web-based alternative to Power BI or Tableau; like those tools, it loses value when trying to combine data from multiple databases, as it relies on a visual tool to connect and join data.

Evaluating Astrato and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Usability
I would not change the process. Astrato is used as an entry-level and teaching tool.,

Astrato Support

Very friendly, with online help, blog and community. The template documentation could be more complete, however.
