"End to end modern data stack with 5x"
5/5
What do you like best about 5X?

5x take all of the integration effort away from establishing and maintaining an end to end modern dat stack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 5X?

At the time we started 5x didn't have an out-of-the-box solution for MongoDb as a data source, so they had to work with us to build a custom solution. This process went well - they did a great job - but an out-of-the-box solution would have been even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"End-to-end platform, well designed for orgs taking early steps towards building data capabilities"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 5X?

I liked best that it is an end-to-end data stack with all components built in, as required to run an Analytics function. This avoided the need to go through procurement and contracting with multiple vendors. It allowed for rapid implementation, and ability to deliver results faster to the business.

What do you dislike about 5X?

Needed to work across multiple global time zones, within a narrow window of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 5X?

Deep expertise on broad group of tools available in the market and how they fit with an orgsanizations goals / limitations / current stack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 5X?

Even higher coverage of tools/integrations on offer. Believe 5X is increasing its coverage of tools to progressively include niche use cases (like some of ours) - and that is the direction to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great data platform and consulting experience at a small startup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 5X?

5x was able to enable my team at Upright to quickly stand-up and end-to-end data platform covering Data Ingestion, Warehousing and BI. The experience was almost "turnkey" - we didn't have to worry about integration between tools, managing separate contracts, or many of the other headaches that come up standing up Data Infrastructure.

As a small data team this was critical to let us focus on delivering value to our customers as we scaled from 2 to 7 people. As everything just worked we could deep dive into using the tools and creating assets used across the business.

The benefits of the platform as they continue to add new features such as cost management, reporting and a centralized administration experience - alleviating a common problem with SaaS solutions where you need to manage permissions and other items in multiple places - a data security/governance risk. They provide one-stop shopping which creates a better customer experience. Want to try a new product? Hit a button!

They also allowed us to lower our costs through their pre-negotiated vendor rates letting us benefit from their scale at our small size. This made it easier to get buy-in on our data strategy - starting small and scaling as we got support.

From a consultancy perspective - 5x has leads that are experts in the various platforms as well as very flexible models that allow them to better serve companies of all sizes. Their novel approach let us flex our team as needed and handle ebbs and flows in work as we needed - they quickly became an extension of the team and liason to the expertise within 5x. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 5X?

If I had to pick any item to "dislike" it's one that's a common problem with consultancies and companies in general. Some members of the team were more effective than others. In the case where this happened we were able to work with 5x to upskill, changing processes and resources quickly to ensure our needs were met. I wasn't disatisfied but it was one area of improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"5X - a platform that unifies how we use our data"
5/5
What do you like best about 5X?

The 5X ingestion tool is user friendly and has allowed us to have custom connectors, enabling us to pull data from all of our disparate sources. One of the biggest selling points of the platform is the ability to have a single IDE for all our data needs. We can now access our most important tools pertaining to data, managing RBAC, monitoring utilization and overall spends all from a single UI.

What has been even more impressive is their Customer Success team. They have been is exceptionally proactive, consistently ensuring that we have all the required support to maximize the value of our investment. They have been great with timely check-ins to personalized support, and their commitment to our success has truly made a significant difference in how we are leveraging their platform.

"Efficiency and Expertise in Data Management"
5/5
What do you like best about 5X?

The 5X platform is a great patform for managing our data (it's nice that it's centralized versus logging in to multiple systems). We also use their consultants, essentially, as a part of our team which has been super helpful. They've been great at balancing our requests while also bringing best practices. It was very easy to setup and they've worked with us throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 5X?

While the platform offers great features, there are still some areas under development (such as the integration of dbt docs). This is a minor inconvenience for now, but there are other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Product for critical business needs"
5/5
What do you like best about 5X?

5X helped us to build our data platform from scratch, from scoping the problem and insights we needed, to recommended the best tools after evaluating our use cases and then executing and self-manaing the delivery of that requirement inclduing data migration and warehouse optimization to reduce cost. They setup weekly cadence and were always available to help.

There are consultancies who just "adivce", there are vendors who just "do as told", but rare to get partners who advice, do, think and then re-do on their own. 5X is an amazing partner that really thinks and acts for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 5X?

They are so good that one might not build that capability in-house - which is something we thought hard about. But still went ahead with them as the core business for us was using data not building it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
