Databox vs. Hashboard (discontinued)

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.

For the scenario, we used Glean.io which we used the software to establish a database connection and build live dashboards on the data on this database. This was a very simple use case to explore the capabilities of the software. In this use case, it works very smoothly and well. Further, we looked into similar use cases using the data ops features to achieve data provisioning with code to have more control. This was a nice way to support data engineers for sure. I would say that - for our use cases - the UI-based set up does the job. It is nice to have more advanced options with data ops. But they are probably over the top for our use cases. I would say it is worth it though to explore and figure out which degree of control fits your use case best.

• 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

• Querying has to be done by users only. There can be ways to automate querying using templates
• Not able to clearly check the query run time
• The customer support team can be little more proactive while communicating any changes and resolving any queries

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.

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.

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.

Glean.io provided the customisable packages as per the user licences and data storage required. We are a growing organisation and this flexibility helped arrive at decision to use Glean.io The user onboarding is very easy with Glean.io. There were no extra resources required to integrate with our system and it was done in couple of days only.
