3 Reasons to Choose Whatagraph as Your Datorama Alternative

Fast and intuitive platform

Compared to the complex use cases of Marketing Cloud data models, with Whatagraph, you don’t need advanced analytics skills or an understanding of data mapping and data modeling to get started. Discover an intuitive platform with plug-and-play integrations, templates, and time-saving features for marketers that save you tens of hours each month.

Easily create advanced dashboards

While Marketing Cloud - Datorama offers many additional features from data ingestion to building workflows, Whatagraph offers a more straightforward solution that fits the essential needs of a marketing team. You can just as quickly create stunning cross-channel reports for clients as more complex internal dashboards with data aggregation, filters, and custom formulas.

Visualize data without complexities

Visualizing data in Datorama reports for Marketing Cloud requires a deep understanding of your data, which has to be prepared before visualization. In Whatagraph, on the other hand, every account manager can jump in and quickly create a dashboard that clients or stakeholders will understand at the first glance.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Intelligence Reviews – What Do Users Say?

The most important features for our business are the data import, data visualization, and reporting dashboard tools. Datorama is a complex system, and setting it up takes time.

Phil P. Managing Director Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees

Troubleshooting errors that occur with API integration with some third party tools can be difficult to find the exact right answer and may take time to find the right answer through support or product documentation.

Capterra verified review by

Verified Reviewer, Marketing Automation Specialist, 1,001-5,000 employees

At a basic level, this program is fairly simple to use, but as you delve deeper into the program, it does get more complicated and less user-friendly. Panel setup takes little time. The key elements for our company are the information import, visualization of data, and reporting dashboard capabilities.

It can be cumbersome to setup and the learning curve on this for clients *can* be steep. Clients need to understand what it's meant for and what they can do before they start changing metrics on the fly.

Joshua T. Digital Marketing Specialist 11-50 employees

Slick interface and favourable API data plug-ins into other Softwares and back end marketing systems such as salesforce and having a branded custom dashboard does look slick with your company logo.

Ollie H. Group Director of Global Investment 5,001-10,000 employees

Had some issues integrating with custom AR systems such as siebel crm it needed a lot of extra customization. also the initial learning curve was a bit higher compared to say a product like qlik. but overall a great product for the use cases that its built for.

Is Whatagraph a worthy Datorama competitor?

Yes, Whatagraph is a worthy Datorama competitor. Here are the three biggest reasons:

Marketing Cloud Intelligence costs way more, even with the lowest-tier plan. Not many marketing agencies can afford it.
Being a part of the Salesforce Marketing Cloud Analytics, Datorama wasn’t created from scratch with user experience in mind. Many customers complain about the steep learning curve to master this marketing intelligence platform.

Setting up the API integration can be challenging.

How is Datorama positioned?

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Intelligence product details from GetApp describe it as an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled software designed to help businesses across retail, finance, publishing, and other industries unify and manage marketing data. It allows managers to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), track return on investments (ROIs), and keep documents in a centralized repository.

What are the Datorama advantages?

The Salesforce Marketing Cloud Intelligence advantages include advanced data management capabilities such as data ingestion, data harmonization, data modeling, and data analytics. The platform also offers multiple AI-powered tools as well as tools for media planning. It has more destinations and an option to schedule and share insights on Slack or via embedded widgets.

How does the Datorama price model work?

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Intelligence's price scheme is a bit complicated. First, you can choose between the Marketing Cloud Engagement, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and Marketing Cloud Growth Edition packages, each with several pricing tiers. However, the bare minimum you need to pay is $1,250 per month, which makes it out of reach for most small and medium businesses.

Are Marketing Cloud Intelligence reports a good fit for marketing agencies?

Since it was acquired by Salesforce, Datorama became a part of their Marketing Cloud Intelligence. Today, it’s quite an advanced solution that seems to be much more suitable for in-house marketing teams at the enterprise level. Not for marketing agencies in general or in-house teams at a smaller scale.
