Pros

I love that the tool is so easy to use and it turns data into a manageable and easy to digest appearance. It manages to make data fun to look at, and it's really easy to work with.
I also like the fact that the company is always striving to improve their software as it shows dedication to the field. With every update I find that the new features help with my job quite a lot.
Linking existing databases works like a charm. It has a plethora of data visualization methods which is extremely professional and helpful for users to gain valuable insights.

Pros

I like that you don't need to be tech savvy to use Databox ,it is very easy to implement. It is great at visualizing results and helps me a lot with better understanding complex matters.
Plus, being able to schedule snapshots be sent to Slack and email, etc. is great. I also love the goals feature, being able to put our metrics into context like this is great.
The visuals look awesome on the computer, TV, and phone. I was impressed with how easy it was to create a metric.

Cons

I'll say that it was really frustrating to use in the beginning, it is complex and if you've never been in it before it is overwhelming.
Due to my lack of familiarity in how to code, I was uncomfortable at first and found it difficult to learn.
What is even more annoying is that it also takes several minutes to cancel a query. I really don't understand how it can take that long just to cancel a query.

Cons

The lack of integration with Zendesk is weird as what I could see is there used to be one.
It's still new and slightly buggy at times so it can be frustrating sometimes to build something out and not have it work 100% correctly.
Missing a Segment integration maybe to get all our app events. We rely on their Zapier integration to compensate.

Extend the capabilities of dashboards and score cards to mobile devices

Pros

Excellent look and feel in mobile devices Looks easy to use and friendly Easy way to have information on hand

Cons

It would be great a direct integration with excel (desktop and through skydrive) Native integration with BI platform like Tableau or Power BI

Databox - Easiest Data Visulation Tool

Reviewed 2 years ago

i do love it. it's something i'm planning on bringing with me if i ever switch jobs. i like how easy it is. at first we were about to cancel databox cause no one knew how to work with it. once i learned the specific way you needed to set up the code then i was like THIS IS EASY and now have made way too many dashboards

Pros

the visualizations are great and is easy to customize. I always thought Tableau was too much. Databox gives you nice-looking dashboards without it being overall flashy or complicated

Cons

I wish the dashboards were bigger so i could fit more information. or i wish i could connect them and make it so i can scroll to see the different dashboards. but really i wish they could be organized better. it's nice that people can organize the way they want but i wish by default the order was what i set. i also wish there were folders so i could group the marketing dashboards all in 1 spot then...

Just the tool we needed.

Reviewed 5 years ago

For our clients, we're showing them how their investment is put to use but also having greater conversations over what we can do TOGETHER to improve results. They see that we are more than just a marketing agency, we are a partner. For our agency, we are able to show results across each discipline. The artists have more ownership in the results than they once did. Our brand managers are more strategic and forward thinking.

Pros

Easy to use. Has all of the connections we need. If we don't have a connection, the team is quick to try and implement it. The hourly refresh is awesome. Helps our team stay informed, helps our clients see how their investment is put to work. The time our team puts into the tool, we get twice as much back out of it. I love that it has the ability to layer on multiple sets of data with the same detail as Grow or Tableau, without the restricting price tag.

Cons

Sometimes the API integrations are clunky. For Google Analytics where sites have a 100,000 views per day, the ability to use the custom queries becomes more limited. I would like to see improvements on the text formatting for that data block and the bar chart visualization. The data gets too tiny to read at certain points, no matter how big you make it on the screen.
