Considered Both Products	Databox Dustin Brackett CEO Chose Databox In comparison, Databox has been a more robust solution and one that works really well with HubSpot (our preferred marketing automation platform). It's a bit pricier than Cyfe was (not sure now), but the features are worth it. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Glover Content Marketer Chose Databox Much cheaper and seems to do at least as good of a job while having a similar integration stack. I also appreciate the efforts Databox go to on their blog and podcast to help educate people on all things data and metrics. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Databox Databox automatically integrates with tons of different data sources without you needing to arrange the backend information on how everything should connect. Tableau, Power BI, and Sisense require a lot of manual setup unless you have all of your fields perfectly matched up … Incentivized Helpful? Heather Robinette, MBA Marketing Manger Chose Databox While HubSpot is where we store our information and utilize the systems, the reporting wasn't deep enough and it didn't include the entire website since it is hosted elsewhere. So I started looking at options, and Databox came as a recommendation so I checked it out and haven't … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Databox Databox and Grow are similar tools, and truthfully, Grow is a more powerful platform with more sophisticated reporting, integrations, and a larger feature set. However, Grow is significantly more expensive and Databox has the features you need most for less of an investment. I … Incentivized Helpful? Stephanie Tran Sales System Architect Chose Databox HubSpot's reporting tool simply isn't enough. It also doesn't help that the reporting add-on for HubSpot is an additional $200/month, and it only reports on HubSpot stuff. That's why we selected Databox--to report on other platforms like FB ads, Google Analytics, etc. However, … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Pratt Managing Partner Chose Databox Databox is easier to set up and is much less costly. Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Berry SEO Strategy Specialist Chose Databox Databox is unique in its ability to report from multiple data sources. Google Analytics is the standard when it comes to web metrics, but it's just one of the tools that integrates with Databox. Tableau is fantastic for data visualizations and reporting, but it's much more … Incentivized Helpful?	Mode Verified User Anonymous Chose Mode Tableau is a huge pain to edit or create dashboards, by comparison. It can make better looking visualizations, but in practice, letting users drill down and change dimensions slows the end user experience so much that it's often not worth it. Looker is amazing for data modeling, … Incentivized Helpful? Kofi Obo Wood Head of Operations Chose Mode Microsoft Power BI and MongoDB Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Mode We used both Qlik and Mode at our organization. The mode was used a quick analysis SQL tool while Qlik was our enterprise BI solution. Incentivized Helpful? Devindra Sooklall Data Management Chose Mode I've used other BI tools such as Spotfire and Mode is by far the better solution. It is far more stable, less susceptible to errors/needs to reload/re-format reports, and overall more user-friendly. Spotfire might have some deeper functionality for absolute power users, but for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Mode Mode Analytics is better for us than most -- because of its white-label feature, its security-first posture, and the fact that you can go directly to SQL. Incentivized Helpful? Jacob Rossi Help Systems Analyst Chose Mode In my opinion Mode Analytics has an edge on much of the competition due to the intuitive and powerful custom dashboard creation interface. I can create dashboards for stakeholders that are self explanatory and easy to make conclusions from. In other respects, it's very much at … Incentivized Helpful? RL Rita Lo Analytics Lead Chose Mode Mode [Analytics] has a shorter learning curve and is better for starter analysts who are not yet Python fluent. They also require very little setup for report viewers to consume data, making it a more optimal solution for team members on the ground. Incentivized Helpful? AR Alexandre Rezende Quantitative Researcher Chose Mode Mode is the best for the advanced user with advanced use cases. Even creating a simple report will require an SQL query.

User Testimonials
	Databox	Mode Analytics
Likelihood to Recommend	Databox is fantastic for companies or agencies that regularly report on a variety of metrics from multiple data sources. It's ideal for any company that uses a variety of different tools (as long as Databox integrates with them). It's particularly good for HubSpot agencies and companies that use HubSpot. It's maybe not necessary for companies that only use one tool or don't do reporting. Incentivized Daniel Berry SEO Strategy Specialist Read full review	After launching a new contact pathway in a help experience, Mode Analytics can help provide insight into the sentiments from users as well as the engagement with any written content. Numeric outputs are easier to manage, whereas more nuanced/emotional feedback is sometimes hard to quantify (though not impossible if you get creative). Incentivized Jacob Rossi Help Systems Analyst Read full review
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. Incentivized Michael Glover Content Marketer Read full review	Easy to use (click a button and get right to SQL). Security First (everything is locked down by default). The White Label feature is super easy to skin -- our embedded reports look just like our app! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Date ranges aren't always the most intuitive to set, strangely Faster refresh rates would be ideal Would love more dynamic mobile device integration (alerts, etc) Incentivized Jacob Rossi Help Systems Analyst Read full review
Usability	Databox is an intuitive, well-designed platform that can be used by non-technical marketers. It is easy to learn, and while set up takes time, usability is high and the team has enjoyed creating custom dashboards and clients have also given us great feedback regarding its usability and value. While other BI tools are much more complex to navigate, Databox is a breeze. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	For the advanced user already familiar with Python. It is just the same tool, already managed and connected to the data. Incentivized AR Alexandre Rezende Quantitative Researcher Read full review
Support Rating	I have really enjoyed using Databox and have seen the value of it in many ways. They also continue to improve the functions of it and grow their integrations and templates. I look forward to continuing to use Databox in the future, potentially even finding ways to incorporate it into other departments to help them with reporting as well. Incentivized Heather Robinette, MBA Marketing Manger Read full review	Mode has dedicated agents who are online in a chatroom, ready to take on any questions and provide helpful feedback. Incentivized RL Rita Lo Analytics Lead Read full review
Alternatives Considered	While HubSpot is where we store our information and utilize the systems, the reporting wasn't deep enough and it didn't include the entire website since it is hosted elsewhere. So I started looking at options, and Databox came as a recommendation so I checked it out and haven't turned back. I didn't evaluate any other products because Databox met our need and we were able to get started right away. Incentivized Heather Robinette, MBA Marketing Manger Read full review	Tableau is a huge pain to edit or create dashboards, by comparison. It can make better looking visualizations, but in practice, letting users drill down and change dimensions slows the end user experience so much that it's often not worth it. Looker is amazing for data modeling, but you have to get your whole business all in on it to take advantage. Viz capabilities are similar. Databricks has a lot of functionality overlap, but the visualizations are terrible. Databricks' great strength is that you can use notebooks to do anything with code.

Return on Investment	It has helped us to show our value to clients Easily digestible dashboards make it easy to understand what you're looking at Incentivized Dustin Brackett CEO Read full review	It has allowed us to monitor ongoing financial transactions written to our SQL data tables in real-time and that helps us to monitor user transaction activities in real-time Using Mode we have been able to also track users who undertake fraudulent financial transactions; preventing financial losses to our users Mode's collaborative abilities have been very helpful in sharing transaction monitoring workload across our compliance and cybersecurity team Incentivized Kofi Obo Wood Head of Operations Read full review
