"After 2 years I left. Templates always break, individual metrics always break, lack of good support."
It's easy to embed a databoard into a third-party website or your own member portal.

What do you like best about Databox?

I like that there is very little you need to do in terms of normalizing the data in advance. I also like that a number of common data sources are all included as part of your monthly/annual fee. This makes it easy to get started quickly and be able to show insights quickly in a beautiful UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databox?

I found some of the controls to be a little wonky, as well as some of the limitations of getting the time periods for data to line up, which is as much the data sources variation as anything else. This was more as I got further into more custom metrics I wanted to show, so should not bother the user looking for an out of the box dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Databox solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking for a way to bring in various analytics into a single place to share with clients. Clients liked the ability to see these metrics in one place and to be able to more fully discuss success and progress. While we did not have an ROI per se, we did provide a value add that made the clients more confident in their success with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Databox?

The best part about Databox is its streamlined presentation 'databoards' that are easy on the eyes and present the data in ways that clients and customers can understand without seemingly overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databox?

There's not much to dislike about it. It could use more integrations, but it does what it's designed to do and it does it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Databox:

If you need a way to aggregate data and to put that data into a presentable format, then Databox is your best choice. It's easy to use, simple to understand, and so easy to share with people who need to see the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Databox solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're able to show clients/customers the fruit of our labor in simple ways. It's easy to attach a databoard to an email, video, blog, etc. to prove points with actual statistics pulled from many places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Databox?

The training videos were a good idea but poorly done, meaning the trainers were wooden and not engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databox?

Every time I went to the dashboard, the link to my LinkedIn, Facebook, and other accounts were broken. Every time! Then, when I tried to cancel, the bait and switch. I am paying for another full year of crappy service. Here is the quote: "We can help you and your Team use Databox for the remaining time however, we can't offer refunds." Great customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Databox solving and how is that benefiting you?

No one could really help with the disconnecting so it was just part of the routine of how I used the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a large number of integrations with various applications that are quite useful in the world of digital marketing (facebook ads, google ads, salesforce, twitter ...) which is quite practical when requesting a report from or analytics operation of our strategies, in addition its interface has a fairly neat and clean design that allows me an uncomplicated navigation at all times, the fact that it has the mobile version for me has been quite useful and effective, since it allows me to have access to all the information I need from my phone, without worrying about where I am, the reports that it issues in my opinion are quite complete as far as information is concerned, they have been very useful to me to design and rethink strategies that allow a faster growth of my company's marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only complaint I have in this regard is the fact that the reports are not customizable, that is, I am obliged to select a weekly or monthly report, I cannot select a range of dates of my interest to analyze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Databox solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has become my right hand to analyze the effectiveness of the strategies that I have proposed in my company in terms of digital marketing, which has allowed me to make modifications to my strategies if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Databox?

It contains easy-to-read control panels, which I really like about this feature, as it allows the user to transmit information efficiently and quickly, mentioning that it acquired in its programming, reports for their needs, whether daily, weekly, or monthly. This agrees to establish the news structure that best suits their main concerns, highlighting that it is the ease of access to the software platform with just a few clicks to connect to a large number of programs from different systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databox?

Databox needs to implement new updates of essential features, such as expanding its API connectors for existing connections, and at the same time extending a larger list of source providers. In other aspects, we can highlight that there is a lack of integration of various tools that are more used for digital marketing, which implies that the sales process complemented by this software can be somewhat slow and, finally, difficult to configure the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Databox:

Databox is ideal for digital marketing specialists of any level, as with this software you can grow and expand easily by adapting to your needs and sophistication. We can specify that this system is slightly geared towards small and medium-sized businesses, but it can also be more beneficial for larger companies, providing a greater amount of revenue, being highly recommended and even for the high-level reports it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Databox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Databox is used in my company essentially as the dashboard tool for our analytical processing department, used to extract analyses from various data points and create a more fluid visualization. We use the tools both for our general summaries of any internal company topic and to create dashboards for clients as a way to easily report what is happening in the organization regarding the digital marketing efforts we generate.

What do you like best about Databox?

The ability to access real time data concerning an individual employee in relation to departmental output. Am able to determine weak points in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Databox?

Databox is just the best software I've used to track performance. It has been a huge leap from the manual job cards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Databox:

Any progressive company requires databox, as I highlighted, manual job cards can be doctored to show higher production but with databox am now able to track performance and determine (KPIs) real time, this cutting administrative costs by reducing redundant employees and sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Databox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using databox my department and company used manual sheets or jobcards to track individual employee output. This made it hard to track actual employee's output versus reported output. With databox the integration of sectional output with individual employee performance has hugely reduced administrative costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
