5X Overview

What is 5X?

5X is an all-in-one data platform. We give you everything you need to centralize, clean, model, and analyze your data. The customer feedback we get most often is, "This is self-explanatory," and "It's super easy to use." And that is exactly what our goal was—to create a powerful, all-in-one platform that's incredibly easy to use.  Data is one of the most fragmented industries, with over 500 vendors in 15+ categories. The analogy we use is that data vendors are selling car parts. Imagine walking into a Honda dealership, and instead of selling you a Civic, they sold you an engine, and you had to build your own car. The modern data stack has evolved. It's no longer about stitching together vendors. The next-generation modern data stack is an all-in-one platform that offers speed, simplicity, and decreased cost of ownership. That's exactly what we have created at 5X. Companies use 5X for multiple reasons: 1) Speed & productivity. All-in-one data platforms are incredibly efficient. We've seen companies build use cases on day 1.  Contact us to see if you qualify for a free 48 hour jumpstart! 🚀 2) Decrease your total cost of ownership by 30% compared to building your own platform. This doesn't account the people hours needed to support a platform build 🤯 3) Use our full stack data consultancy for support on data engineering & analytics 👨‍💻 5X was founded in 2020 with presence in the USA, Singapore, UK and India. Our global team is 70+ people strong and rapidly growing. We’ve recently raised our seed round from Flybridge Capital and backed by top founders from companies like Datadog, Preset, Astronomer, Mode, Rudderstack and other prominent angel investors. For more information, visit 5X.co We don't just talk about speed and simplicity we back it back. Speak to us about our 48-hour jumpstart where we can build an end-to-end use case for you in 48 hours for free.

What do you like best about 5X?

They offered their constant support on decision making from the very beginning.

They completely understood our database and built a data platform from end to end without the need to use Clasing´s technological resources, as they already had all that was needed.

This allowed us to collaborate closely and obtain a ROI of the data much faster than with other alternatives, achieving results in just one month.

The costs were a 50% less than if it would have been built internally or if we would have opted for other solutions. In addition, 5X´s platform is extremely easy to use, which made it easy for our team to adopt it and optimized our work processes.

The best part were their consultants, who served as an extension of our data team from Clasing. Furthermore, they offered technical training about the configuration and the best practices of the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 5X?

I think their platform could use more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 5X solving and how is that benefiting you?

5X helped us establish a data platform and create KPIs quickly and at a low cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 5X?

What I appreciate most about the 5X platform is its simplicity. It’s designed with a clean interface that prioritizes ease of use. The UI makes data transformation intuitive for anyone familiar with SQL, and orchestrating jobs is simply drag and drop. Cherry on the cake is their consultancy team, always ready to support. We’ve never encountered a situation where they couldn’t provide an innovative solution to our challenges Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 5X?

There isn't much to not like, we've had an amazing experience so far Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 5X solving and how is that benefiting you?

We began our journey with deprecating the multiple individual tools we had and moved to 5X being our single source of truth. The 5X ingestion product enabled us to integrate data from all the sources we needed, and they even created custom connectors to ensure comprehensive data ingestion. The 5X Modelling & Orchestration, allowed us to automate operations post-ingestion, orchestrate jobs, and organize and combine the data, making it readily available for analysis.

What do you like best about 5X?

The best part is having one dedicated support team to coordinate with, instead of dealing with different teams for different tools, which I am sure is a real pain for any team. As a team lead, it's super convenient for me to monitor everything, manage costs and utilization, and for my team to work seamlessly without constantly jumping between tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 5X?

Though they currently support vendor integration on rETL, we're waiting for their in-house launch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 5X solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were struggling to find the right tool to ingest data from some of our critical data sources. Most options either lacked on functionality or were expensive. That’s when we were introduced to 5X. Working with the team gave us the confidence to expand our engagement to include other operations on the 5X platform. Their product team is super enthusiastic about problem-solving, rapidly developing solutions to meet our requirements. 5X platform is continously evolving to deliver a better experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teams page has really been very helpful in managing teams roles and access.

Initially the role refresh date wasn't present but it was added without even raising it so I am sure their roadmap is headed in the right direction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 5X solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing multiple teams and their projects always seemed quite chaotic. The teams page on the 5X platform simplifies everything, with fewer communication gaps, hence upsurging productivity.
