Product Overview

datapine is a business intelligence solution that’s available around the world. With customers from South Africa to South Korea, and Canada to Australia, datapine users enjoy flexible tailored access to data analytics.

The solution has simple drag-and-drop features, unlimited dashboards and an array of charts to choose from for displaying data. Similar to solutions such as Tableau, datapine focuses on self-service and visualization to allow a variety of professionals to understand data. datapine also connects to virtually any data source, as an advantage over similar solutions.

Features

datapine’s tools and services focus on six core features:

1. Self Service Analytics

datapine’s goal is to allow any user to visualize data without IT’s help. The solution has simple drag-and-drop features that don’t require data science skills. Users can easily run ad-hoc queries, apply powerful filters and access data through a mobile device. The solution also allows users who are experienced with Excel to perform advanced calculations. An additional unrestricted SQL mode allows those proficient in SQL to use any code already in place and create pivot tables, all within datapine.

2. Dashboards

Dynamic dashboards can be customized to view real-time metrics or periodic reports, then shared securely with a group of people. The solution allows users to create storytelling slides to easily understand data trends and drill down into the details. datapine centralizes your most essential data so you can frequently reference dashboards to support decision making. A team can share a single dashboard so conversations revolve around the same goals.

3. Share & Report

datapine helps businesses prioritize key performance indicators (KPIs) so all aspects of sharing information are focused on impacting the bottom line. This plays a significant role in shifting a company’s culture to be more data-driven. Users can send links to interactive or read-only reports. Reports can also be trigger-based and sent automatically on a schedule.

4. Embedded Analytics

datapine allows customers to embed dashboards and dynamic charts directly into their present software solutions. Hidden background filters help users identify the information each reader needs. Clients can use additional white-label services to customize datapine’s embedded analytics for their existing solution.

5. Data Warehouse

datapine connects your data in one place for a “single source of truth.” Through data warehouse automation, external and internal data can be combined into one place, as well as structured and unstructured disparate data. Because it’s part of the solution’s initial setup, the cost is included in the service. The solution also handles ongoing data storage tasks to reduce the client’s total cost of ownership. Clients who already have an existing data warehouse can continue to host data themselves and run queries remotely through datapine without transferring data out of the existing system.

6. Data Security

datapine’s data security laws in Germany call for all clients to retain ownership of all of their data at all times. This means each client is the sole proprietor of its business data, and only authenticated users have access. Data is transferred via SSl and SSH protocols. datapine has read-only access and a layer of security to prevent any SQL injections, as well as zero backdoors built into the system.

Target Market

datapine is a good fit for businesses of any size in nearly any part of the world. The solution has simple features so novice users can explore data, along with more advanced features so data experts can run SQL queries and create pivot tables within the solution.
