Embedded Dashboards and Exportable Data at its best

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our main draw to Astrato was the ability to embed dashboards into web applications without complex code and setup. Astrato's subscription model is economical for doing this type of work, as opposed to several other vendors we looked at. Astrato provides rapid response to issues, as well as the ability to download dashboards to a preformatted excel, complete with formulas and conditional formatting, making it easy to share the data to multiple people.

Pros

  • Responsive product and support team to work through issues
  • Support team does a great job training us and teaching us how to get the most out of the product
  • The product team is knowledgeable in cloud data storage, so they can help provide setup and configuration solutions.

Cons

  • The product is still young, as a consequence, some features aren't as mature as competitors. Astrato has worked to catch up quickly, by rolling out new features regularly
  • Better ability to control icons and themes from a central point, instead of having to add/change them on each report

Likelihood to Recommend

The ability to embed and share dashboards at scale at an economical fee is the best we were able to find. Creating and managing users is easy, as is creating permissions based on external application roles is possible too. Astrato has allowed us to reduce our overall BI tool cost, while expanding our capabilities.

Great Job, thanks Astrato

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With Astrato we have sought to restructure our cloud storage systems to maximize the processes of our business sector linked to digital marketing.

It is a dynamic interface that uses a set of functions very focused on our needs, especially the BI team has benefited from data processing prior to delivery to the client.

Pros

  • Streamlined data compilation in the cloud
  • Expansion in the dynamic spectrum of business processes with our focus on digital marketing
  • Very complete storage capacity

Cons

  • There are Astrato functions related to data agglomeration that I would improve to make it easier to upload to the cloud
  • I think that a bit of its function is lost when we try to link the data with what we obtain, for example, from Google Analytics.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very suitable for medium-sized companies that need simple and complete tools, for startups looking for a helping hand in data storage. For large companies, it may be useful in specific sectors, because its development seems a little diminished because it has very specific failures when it comes to massive uploads to the cloud.

Astrato is a simple to use, free, entry level BI tool!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We evaluated it as a low cost, low effort BI Solution for companies that have their data on Snowflake and/or Google Spreadsheets, and do not want or are able to download and install a BI tool. We also consider recommending it as a teaching tool for Business Intelligence, due to the fact that it is free in its entry form.

Pros

  • Beautiful looking graphs
  • Simple Data Connection
  • Simple data joins
  • No install, zero-footprint.

Cons

  • Handling massive amounts of data. Simplicity ends there.
  • Template objects need to be explained better in the documentation.
  • Ability to connect to more data sources.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited when connecting to a single database per workbook, and when the person designing the workbook knows the data well, or if the tables and field names are self-explanatory. A good web-based alternative to Power BI or Tableau; like those tools, it loses value when trying to combine data from multiple databases, as it relies on a visual tool to connect and join data.

Astrato Analytics' robust no-code application is a tremendous value.

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used Astrato Analytics to build a SaaS application that is fully integrated with our Snowflake data platform. Being a small business, with limited staff and financial resources we needed a solution that was affordable and easy to use, yet was feature-rich and could scale large healthcare datasets. We have built several modules within our SaaS application pulling from various sets of healthcare data addressing several different use cases in the healthcare supply chain space.

Pros

  • Astrato Analytics has done a fantastic job of simplifying the process of creating advanced analytics. The "no-code" feature-rich library of options allows the non-technical user to build sophisticated analytics.
  • Astrato Analytics' customer service feels much more like a partnership. They are always willing to jump in, assess, teach, and provide guidance on the best way to approach developing new features within our platform.
  • Astrato Analytics has created exceptional value combining their extensive offering and extremely reasonable pricing.

Cons

  • Would benefit by an enhanced and centralized ability to control themes.

Likelihood to Recommend

Astrato Analytics provides a feature-rich application that it easy to use for the non-technical user yet robust enough to create a sophisticated SaaS application. Astrato Analytics provides native integration to all the major large cloud data platforms and the implementation is very straight forward. The value provided through their feature-rich platform and competitive pricing is unmatched.

Groundbreaking Analytics Platform

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Astrato as a internal analytics platform and are building a product on the platform we plan to offer to our customers. We leverage the dashboard functionality for insights and the writeback functionally to provide audit logging and to allow users to input notes on customer interactions. Our homebuilt CRM function inside of Astrato allows us to unify our CRM and analytics tools on one platform and save the cost of maintaining seperate tools.

Pros

  • Writeback to the database is simple and straightforward and allows us to build apps in the tool with a level of interation that is not possible with other BI tools
  • Version control that is built into the workbooks allows us to quickly deploy changes without the fear of losing the older version and maintianing both a historcal updates and the ability to rollback
  • Easy connectivity to a wide range of data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and Google Workspace within the same tenant allows us to leverage data from each of these platforms for specific use cases

Cons

  • I would like to see additional support for legacy databases like SQL Server as many organizations need tools that can bridge the gap between legacy platforms and cloud-native platforms
  • I would love to see built-in support for completely isolated Dev, Test, Prod environments within a single tenant

Likelihood to Recommend

Astrato is a fantastic tool for dashboard development and consumption. Additionally, advanced features like notifications and writeback allow sophisticated workflows like financial approval processes to be run through Astrato as well as typical BI functions.
