Pros

“We give our clients links to Dataloops that show multiple databoards.”

Ali B.

CEO

“So, we've had to make accounts for each of our clients instead of have all of our clients on an agency account.”

Ali B.

CEO

“There have been a few times that we had to troubleshoot, but databox support made it really easy and gave us direct steps to take to resolve!”

Ali B.

CEO

Pros

“Data Studio was easy enough to learn without comprehensive analytics training. Since our company is a Google Analtics shop, it's an easy tool to get top-level analytics for web pages. While you can also bring in other data sources using paid APIs, we only used the free version.”

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“I love that it requires no additional software, and can connect easily to our MySQL tables.”

Rhys B.

Senior Product Manager

“I like that you can easily create customised, interactive and professional looking reports for clients at no cost!”

Erin H.

Google Ads Specialist

Cons

“Dashboard refresh speeds are occasionally slower than required for real-time decision-making, and the annual subscription cost is substantial for a small business.”

Hector R.

Managing Director

“Clients asking for databoard repairs because the metrics and temapltes provided by Databox were always broken.”

Guy M.

Owner

“It took around one week to learn Databox properly. When we create custom dashboards and reports in Databox, Databox doesn't offer as much customization as other tools.”

Mizanur R.

CEO

Cons

“For example, sometimes I struggled to edit the title card and had to refresh the page to get it to load.”

Rhys B.

Senior Product Manager

“I found Data studio to be buggy at times, and dashboards that haven't been touched in months would break.”

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“We had a few issues with the reports not loading properly when downloaded as a PDF (Blank pages when there should have been data) and the only solution that we have found is repeatedly downloading and/or waiting a few hours to try again.”

Bryan P.

Director of Operations
