Equals Reviews & Product Details

I landed on equals after experimenting with a lot of platforms - Domo, Power Bi and tableau .

finally found something where i could tie - 2 stripe accounts, 2 currencies, 2 products, 6 pricing plans, 2 resellers, 2 usage based platforms - all together! to get a simple logo retention and revenue retention chart.

the best part about it was that you can get an equals expert (who is really a data expert who is very good at equals) to help you put everythign together an integrate with your existing databases.

its so easy to implement. it just took him 10 hours to put al that together. They even start a slack group together to help you!

i use it every week multiple times a week.

overall 10 out of 10. They are only getting started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I expected a filters feature. They are working on it and have an early version out. To get other people (non engineers) in my team to play with , i would love a filters feature (tableau does this well) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love being able to see and manipulate our own data tables, plus other data from AdWords, Facebook, GA and other sources, combined together inside a spreadsheet interface. We've created all kinds of incredibly useful views, reports and analyses that are always up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't think of any downsldes, and I've tried a variety of other services and probably every dashboard tool on the market. Nothing comes close to the value of Equals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super clean dashboard - love the output when presenting data.

Brilliant for data crunching.

Great team also driving and supporting the product when I have had questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few small nits to fix (which they will address over time no doubt!), such as:

- Workbooks crashing every so often when running large data sets

- Depending on how you format dates (if by "MMMM"), ascending / descending chronlogically may be based on first letter of the month rather than order of months in a year.

Awesome tool nevertheless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That we can view, manipulate, and assemble our own live data as if lived in an excel spreadsheet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Given that it's still an early stage startup, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of using this tool. Learning to use Equals and setting up the reports the way I wanted was easy. It comes with good features that help in a day-to-day update of the reports, for example, scheduled query, the automated email of the dashboard is a good option to share the summary of the report with stakeholders.

Also, impressive support process. Abbey provided support as and when needed.

One more thing to point out is most of the feedbacks were deployed on production in a short period. Kudos to the dev team as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limitation of data it can handle.

A few formatting bugs with time zones and dates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Equals is an exceptional tool. If you are a startup and you aren't using it you need to stop reading this review and go sign up right now. Anyone with basic Excel skills can create sophisticated reports that cross-reference live data sources and automatically distribute them via Slack. Everyone on our team is now able to conduct accurate analysis and report on it with maximum efficiency. Their customer support is also fantastic - they will respond to messages at all hours of the night and solve problems immediately. The founder's vision of simplifying startup reporting is reflected through the performance of the product and woven into the company's DNA. Equals is a huge asset to Vella and I can't say enough good things about it. If they raised the price 5x I'd still pay for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The aesthetics of the dashboards still need improvement but it's clear the team is working on that. They've definitely come a long way since we first started using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Equals is an amazing tool. I have previously used Google Sheets for every type of data analysis possible, but now no longer. Equals has completely replaced Google Sheets in my life. With Google Sheets, I had to push in the data source i.e. raw data repeatedly before presenting the analysis. Before using Equals, I tried doing Google Sheets + Zapier combination to push in raw data, but it just doesn't work well if the data set is big. However, all of this work is old news now. Equals allows automatic, scheduled updates with raw data. This makes my life 10x easier. Not to mention, Equals is connected to both Gmail and Slack, so I can automatically send over the analysis to our team. Previously, I had to take a screenshot and send it manually... not a great experience. With Equals, I can say I feel like much of my tedious work is automated and I can focus on the actual analysis, which is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. Equals has made my life significantly better. Huge fan of Equals :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Equals is fast, effective, and super flexible.

My use cases have changed frequently as I've been using Equals since pretty close to day 0. They are constantly building out the feature set to make it more full-fledged and enterprise-ready.

As a startup, the ability to quickly cut data and hand it off in a relevant, recurring fashion to the right teammates is far better than my previous workflow of either 1) pulling the data and sending it over raw, or 2) overbuilding reporting in our internal dashboard ahead of a validated need.

Support is nearly immediate and top-notch. Integration and implementation is pretty much off and to the races if you are familiar with SQL (or whatever your data source).

Overall, big fan of the product and team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is if need enterprise-grade dashboards for people who are not data-savvy. But classic BI software I used in previous companies was far more Brittle than Equals, so there is a clear tradeoff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you know how to use a spreadsheet, you can use Equals. The dashboard feature and ability to connect across all the key datasources we use is amazing. We have it connected to Stripe, Postgres, and several others. Makes it super easy for the team to track key metrics.

We looked at other sytems (e.g. we used Looker at a previous company) but they were SO much more expensive and required engineers to setup everything.. which was a major overhead for an early stage startup like us.

I use it daily and have scheduled reports sent to the entire team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't many things we don't like. Maybe a Zapier integration would be nice so we coudl push data into a workbook based on other workflows. Will be cool as they build out more templates for major reports (e.g. having a financial dashboard pre-built for Stripe would be EPIC). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Equals is amazingly fast and combines the best of SQL with the best of spreadsheets. Extremely convenient not to have to export data from one tool, import to another, and manage KPIs in separate places. Equals team was extremely helpful getting our instance set up and is super responsive when you need things. Integrations work great, and it's nice to be able to combine finance, product, and production db data in one place. We use Equals on a daily basis! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall think Equals is great! 1) Would love for adding new seats to be self-serve (even though their team is quick to respond and get new users added; 2) Want to see better sharing functionality like Google Sheets has (give external users read only, edit access, require a password for external users, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
