I work as a business intelligence manager in a medium-sized enterprise and the amounts of retail data we generate on a daily basis are enormous (online and offline). We have tried many analytics solutions on the market and finally signed up with datapine because of their intuitive interface and advanced analytics options. Most of the department was in favor of them, but I was a bit skeptical at the beginning. I was wrong. datapine not only provides me with an intuitive interface where I can simply visualize data by drag & drop and can share my analysis results on an interactive dashboard with colleagues outside from my department, but I can also easily switch to the SQL mode and write my own database queries or copy & paste existing ones.
A great tool is actually their predictive analytics feature. I’m constantly amazed by how simple it is built, but how much insight you can get just by clicking on a few required fields. You have to insert your specific data points to let the software calculate the forecast, and choose your model quality. I can directly see what’s going to happen in the next months and offer much more effective recommendations than I used to. For me, it works perfectly, and I don’t need to build complicated (predictive) data models on my own.
Another feature we use a lot are their data alerts. There we usually use the “neural network” or “pattern recognition & forecasting” alert for our most important KPIs. These intelligent alerts notify us automatically via email, for example, if the revenue of a specific product or product category is underperforming or when a product is getting significantly more bad user reviews. For us, these alerts work quite well, of course from time to time you also get a questionable alert, but most of the time they are quite accurate, and we save a lot of time, as manual monitoring/analysis is less needed.

In the beginning, we were not sure if we maybe want to use their on-premise version. Unfortunately, it wasn’t possible to test the (customized) on-premise version in the way you can test their SaaS solution with a free trial. But at the end of the day that was not a big issue, as we decided nevertheless for the SaaS version. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Overall, I believe datapine is a great solution. They have a range of functionalities that have made our lives way easier in many aspects. That said, I think the predictive analytics feature has been the most valuable for us. This module of the tool is very easy to use and it proves to be highly valuable when it comes to budgeting as we can identify trends and relationships in the data and make decisions based on that. It is also quite helpful in identifying potential risks and loss drivers so we can prepare for them in advance. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
So far, we’ve really enjoyed using the tool and have not encountered many issues. If I have to say something, there could be more support material on how to generate mobile dashboards. Although to be fair, their support team is always available to help. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
I especially appreciated the fact that I can run advanced SQL queries and visualize them really easily. Their dashboards are very intuitive and fast to generate, and they offer several charting options. We need to visualize a lot of complex data on a daily basis, so being able to add a secondary axis or mix different chart types into one was a prime benefit from using datapine.

Their trial period is kind of short considering that we are a big team and we needed to test every feature carefully before investing in the tool. However, their customer service team immediately extended our trial period when we asked them. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
I especially appreciate how intuitive the tool is. Anyone in my team is able to create dashboards really fast and use them as support for several meetings. They also provide quite a few templates that make it even easier to generate reports. It has definitely made our work more efficient. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Their SQL box is still too advanced for most of our non-technical users; however, we get along fine without it. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Generally speaking, datapine has been an optimal solution to deal with the development of large projects. Data sources related to suppliers, budgets, scheduling, and performance can easily be connected and then displayed with dashboards that are quite easy to create.

Although the tool is pretty straightforward to use, they do offer some advanced features for more technical users that we couldn’t explore so far. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Working as a commercial buyer for an FMCG company means I have to be constantly monitoring the performance of several stores. For this reason, I was looking for a solution that would automate the process so I could have more time to focus on the other part of my job, and that’s exactly what I found with this tool. datapine has data connectors that allowed us to get all our internal and external sources of information in one place. With just a few clicks the heavy workload was done automatically and we had real-time data to start working with.
The tool also includes predictive analytics features that are fairly easy to use. Being able to predict trends and future outcomes, like product demands on each store, changed the way we deal with inventories and production. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Some advanced features are a bit overwhelming at the beginning for non-technical users. For example, some people in my team struggled with custom fields for advanced charts or the SQL mode. Nevertheless, they offer several tutorials on their site so you can learn to use the tool in detail. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
I particularly enjoyed the fact that the tool gives you full control over your dashboard’s design thanks to white labeling features. This allowed my team to create specific dashboards for each brand with its logo and color scheme, making them look way more professional. I also really enjoyed the different sharing options that the software offers. You can share your reports with a live URL with different viewing or editing rights, this way you choose what information each of the recipients is allowed to see or change.

The 14-days trial is okay to test the software features but not enough to see if implementing the tool brings benefits to the company. However, they are willing to extend it if need it. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
My favorite thing about the tool is its user-friendly interface. It enabled everyone in my company to start working with the data available and significantly reduced the risks of errors. The dashboards are easy to create and they offer a wide range of simple and advanced chart options to visualize our most important KPIs in the best way possible. I was especially impressed with the predictive analytics feature. I just had to insert the required data points and the tool was able to predict future outcomes in my data with neural networks technology, something that I haven’t seen in many tools so far.

Even though the tool is straightforward and easy to use. They could offer more tutorials for advanced features such as SQL coding so that the less experienced users can familiarize themselves with it. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Me impresionó la facilidad de uso, las características analíticas, así como la creación de paneles para presentar mi trabajo a nuestros colegas no técnicos. En los últimos años, he encontrado numerosas herramientas y datapine es una de mis principales opciones simplemente porque su interfaz de usuario es limpia, pero el software es enormemente potente. Me impresionaron especialmente sus características de análisis predictivo donde solo necesitas insertar los puntos de datos requeridos, y la herramienta generará una predicción con un intervalo de confianza seleccionado. Hasta ahora, no he visto muchas herramientas que hagan esa función tan fácil (literalmente, todo lo que necesito son unos pocos clics). Además, la caja de SQL me permite escribir mi propio código, y si quiero una interfaz visual, puedo cambiar rápidamente entre modos.
Además, el formato condicional, numerosos filtros y el nivel de interactividad de los paneles, desde desgloses (mi favorito) hasta widgets y zoom de gráficos, siempre logran impresionarme ya que puedo construir escenarios de datos rápidamente siempre que conecte mi fuente de datos preferida.
El poder analítico es indudablemente uno de los mejores. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Espero que sus características analíticas continúen evolucionando, ya que sería bueno incluir otros idiomas como R, no solo SQL. Me encantaría ver más posibilidades estadísticas, por ejemplo, análisis factorial o de clústeres. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Desde la perspectiva de un CTO, datapine nos permitió almacenar y unificar todos nuestros datos en un solo lugar central (nube) y tener acceso a análisis avanzados en cualquier momento (SaaS BI). También ofrecen una solución local, pero optamos por SaaS y estuvimos extremadamente satisfechos con la fiabilidad y la velocidad de consulta. La ubicación centralizada nos permitió acceder a nuestros datos desde cualquier lugar. Como tenemos conjuntos de datos bastante grandes con los que necesitamos trabajar, datapine nos ofreció una conexión rápida a nuestras fuentes de datos internas y externas y no nos decepcionó. La carga de trabajo pesada se realiza automáticamente, y la herramienta puede manejar cómodamente enormes cantidades de datos. Pudimos utilizar fácilmente sus conectores e integrar cualquier tipo de fuente de datos. Ahora tenemos un software que maneja y optimiza todos nuestros requisitos de gestión de datos, incluida la gestión departamental, desde finanzas hasta ventas. Desde una perspectiva de gestión, definitivamente nos ahorró mucho tiempo y nos permitió manejar todos nuestros datos desde un solo lugar. Este enfoque centralizado permitió a todos acceder a los datos, construir KPIs y paneles, así como informes por nuestra cuenta. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Algunos miembros de nuestro equipo necesitaban más tiempo para familiarizarse con el producto, así que preferiría más tutoriales y preguntas y respuestas detalladas. Su servicio al cliente es muy bueno, pero más materiales que pudiéramos usar internamente serían geniales. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
The possibility to create advanced visualizations and dashboards for all my marketing data without
restrictions. I can simply connect my data sources and create as many charts and dashboards as I
need, whether on an ad hoc or strategic basis. I can assign viewers and share my reports with
anyone who needs to get the information and automate the whole process, if needed. They have
great dashboard templates, which make it quite easy to build professional KPI dashboards. You also
get auto-generated dashboards, for example when you connect your google analytics or twitter via
API. The interface is very intuitive and easy to use so I like it as a marketing analytics solution that
really delivers on what I need. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
At this point, the only thing I don’t really like is the advanced SQL mode. There you can write
manually SQL queries, what can be quite a challenging without in-dept SQL skills. However, until
know I was able to make all needed analyses using the drag and drop interface. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
