Considered Both Products

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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …

It is better to the integration with all our existing systems, despite of the higher cost if you compare it with the others

Salesforce is having the positive as it has inbuilt other modules where they have their own data but other tools have to get the data from other systems

Tableau CRM is capable of providing powerful data visualization and analytical insights into your data set. Also, it produces a simple and understandable graphical representation of data. When compared to PowerBI, If you are an enterprise Microsoft user, there may be a clear …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Compare to other solutions Tableau CRM provides more attractive GUI and interactive dashboards. Cost and integration are still a challenge as It cost around $150 per user license cost.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Tableau CRM no doubt has best GUI compare to any other existing BI tools we are currently working on. We are already using Salesforce as a CRM tool for sales/services/marketing and Tableau CRM has easy connectivity and development with Salesforce data. After demo the sample …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Compared to tableau and quicksight, [Salesforce Einstein Analytics (formerly Wave Analytics)] is quite similar and the preference depends on which database you use. Quicksight is more useful if you are using aws service and Salesforce Einstein Analytics is better if you are …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Before this our company have been using lots of other tracking tools but mostly it is very manual when it comes to generating reporting view which is resolved when using Salesforce Einstein Analytics since reporting feature is automated. Tons of time have been saved from …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
[Salesforce Einstein Analytics (formerly Wave Analytics)] is far far better than these alternatives as everything can be done on single platform from data extraction to data transformation. Sharing of data is very easy and secure. One dashboard is suitable for different users …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce needs fully baked data for its architecture and design to give you the best results you deserve. Teams not having used Salesforce previously take some time getting used to EA. But its ability to give the data points for KPIs to the sales team in real time and to the …

The collaboration feature is second to none, and the way we can assess our business in real-time is really nifty!
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the leader in the CRM industry when it comes to capturing and understanding the relative date. Therefore, many sales leaders and professionals are accustomed to utilizing the tool. Because of this factor, there is a more exceptional …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Tableau is more of a developer tool and for non-technical workers, it is hard to learn. The product is superior to Einstein Analytics, but if the first goal is to get this out to an entire company, then Salesforce is the way to go. For the technical workers, the limitations of …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Have used Tableau before which is my all-time favorite. I would recommend Tableau over any other BI tool. It is widely known, widely used, and easily imported into your business no matter what other software or tools you use.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
The analytics from Salesforce doesn't stack up against competitors. I'd love a one-stop platform, where I could get all of my email automation, CRM, and website KPI data tracking done, but that isn't Salesforce. I really like the website analytics from FullStory, and I like the …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Analytics Cloud was chosen by the higher ups and I had no say in it. And it's really the only analytics tool we use. But from what I have heard from my co-workers, the Salesforce Analytics Cloud is by far the best in its class. But I have not personally used any …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce is the leader and the giant. I did not know so much about analytics before employing in our enterprise, so went with known name. The brand and what it stands for is imperative to me.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Our company chose it while trying to use other analytics software. The team all agree that this is a very good product and that it deserves to be put up against all others. Managers were very happy with the way it helped promote the sales team to better themselves. Highly …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Cloud has a much more robust system compared to Zoho and Hubspot. Hubspot is easier to use but Salesforce can do way more once you learn how to use it. Salesforce can easily scale with your growing company. I found Zoho very complicated to use. They are a growing …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Analytics Cloud is easier to integrate with Salesforce since it has a native integration and connection point. It does lack in functionality compared to heavy tools like Tableau and Microstrategy. If you want more functionality and are not currently using Salesforce …

The reason is that this requires less development and is more of a point and click system that every user will enjoy more.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Well it's backed by a really big name, so that always helps. People are already comfortable using Salesforce, so switching to the analytics software makes it even simpler to excel and really do well. This platform is perfect for the average person. It's very easy to learn. It's …

Very strong, but again once you’re tied into Salesforce, you’re quite stuck so begin learning how to optimize its use personally very quickly. Otherwise, you’ll be depending on very expensive consultants who don’t always have your best interest in mind.

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.

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

  • Implementation takes time and resources. It is a heavy lift to implement and at first, it can take a little bit of time to understand what you are looking at. But once it's implemented it's easy to get started.
  • Without any BI expertise or resources available to your organization, the implementation of this is difficult. If you aren't used to BI tools and don't have an expert in house, the terminology can be difficult to understand at first.
  • Their support is not on hand to help you if you encounter any issues, at least not on all the plans or the basic plans. Real-time support service is an add-on, so you'll need to be patient if you require help or pay extra money.
  • More functionality for the tool is needed to compete with other heavyweights in the arena like Tableau, Qlik, and Microstrategy. Still lacks the robustness, functionality, and flexibility other competing products possess.

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.
Read full review
Overall usability is absolutely worth the price. It help me to save tons of time working on raw data in Excel file. It also minimize the discrepancy in data format when there are multiple user inputting the data. Every data inputted in Salesforce is standardized, therefore it is very easy to keep track / generating performance report even though you are having more than 20 projects recorded in Salesforce Einstein Analytics.

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.

I have not come across any bad experiences with the support provided. Also, I observed regular updates have been implemented without breaking the tool. But in my opinion, Now Tableau CRM has huge market challenges with tools like Power BI and its spread

An implementation partner would certainly result in greater output in a more efficient amount of time. However, I have found implementation partners to be extremely expensive for the output received (at least working for a non-profit company they are frequently unaffordable). Internal implementation does help with usable output though since internal knowledge would better know the data architecture and business processes

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.

Compared to Tableau and quicksight, [Salesforce Einstein Analytics (formerly Wave Analytics)] is quite similar and the preference depends on which database you use. Quicksight is more useful if you are using aws service and Salesforce Einstein Analytics is better if you are planning to use the data in salesforce. Also, that is under the assumption no further transformation is needed.
