Use Cases and Deployment Scope

To pull in data from several different places in order to track metrics and KPIs in one place. We mainly use it when it comes to tracking metrics in the sales, marketing and overall company/revenue areas. This allows us to see how we're performing and trending in easy-to-digest dashboards and widgets.

Pros

Create dashboards from a variety of data sources.
Set & track goals based on the data and metrics provided.
Send alerts and scorecard updates to Slack and email automatically.

Cons

More direct integrations so we don't have to rely on Zapier (ChartMogul would be great).
Deeper integrations with certain partners to provide more options (mainly ActiveCampaign & Intercom).

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for tracking metrics if you rely heavily on certain integrations. E.g. Google Analytics has a lot of options so tracking traffic, visitors, goal completions from this works well. However, some integrations are lacking in options (ActiveCampaign, for example) and there's no ChartMogul integration at all. Relying on Zapier for these gives limited control.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Databox is the perfect product for a team of people who want to just click a button and start making reports. It turns out most businesses don't need the highly customizable and very high-priced features of Tableau. If you need reporting that will take you beyond the absolute basic reporting in HubSpot or another CRM but don't want to break the bank, Databox is your product of choice.

Very little technical knowledge, time, or money is required to get a much clearer picture of your data using Databox.

The Dashboard Reporting Tool You've Been Looking For

Rating: 10 out of 10

September 11, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Databox is used to create a marketing dashboard for the weekly marketing meetings to show how things are going for the month and for the last 30 days. The dashboard view allows us to see marketing in a one-page view and discuss what's working and not working and what we've done to create changes. It is truly only used by marketing, but it is viewed by upper management to see how marketing overall is doing. The business problem it addresses is being able to see a snapshot and not needing to pull a bunch of reports. It saves time and energy.

Pros

Easy to read dashboards - This allows a user to communicate information quickly.
Reporting for your needs (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) - This allows you to set the reporting structure that works for you.
Easy to connect software - With a few simple clicks you can connect a large number of software programs.

Cons

Reminders to update goals - It would be nice if every quarter or so it would remind you to adjust any goals as needed.
Change the layout of reports on the dashboard - While not super difficult, it did take me a while to figure out how to move the reports around so it was just right.
More templates with multiple sources - It would be nice to see more templates with multiple sources. While you can edit and add your own, it would be nice to see more of the common ones.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe Databox can be an asset for any company. We are a small company, but I can see the value for large companies too.

Databox is a great fit for departments or organizations that need to put their data into a readable form without needing a ton of reports. Databox allows you to save time and put together a nice report without having to do too much extra work. Once it is set up, it basically runs on its own at the frequency you set. I personally receive a daily report and have it sent to the respective people on the day of our meeting so we can quickly review it.
