Overall Satisfaction with Databox
We are using Databox mainly to monitor our sales activity in HubSpot since HubSpot's reporting on activities is pretty barebones. It is only administered and used by myself for the Sales department as a tool to measure and enforce CRM use/adoption. I show it in meetings monthly but check it frequently myself to make sure people are engaged, particularly after a meeting where we decide on a new plan of attack to increase activity. All-in-all, we use Databox to fill the gaps in HubSpot's very weak activity reporting, and we use it for accountability.
- 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
- Databox provided a way for us to have a cheap insight into our HubSpot Sales rep activity that the CRM itself could not provide. This has allowed us to monitor sales activities and make sure we are on target before a problem occurs
- Saved time when developing reports
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 for auto-detecting relationships... and even then those systems can struggle to automatically map information.
