"Easy to use, sustainable No-Code solution and quick to implement!!!"
5/5
What do you like best about Y42?

It took me 10 minutes to implement first data models and set up visualisations in a BI Tool. Getting raw data was never that easy and I can fully implement a highly efficient database without touching any line of code. Perfect to see the full data picture without hours of coding!

What do you dislike about Y42?

Visualisation is compared to other providers not good enough to really implement it in the daily business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sandbox Tool for Data Nerds"
5/5
What do you like best about Y42?

Y42 works for us, because it provides us with all opportunities to model our data exactly the way we want to. It removes the barrier to build all the data pipelines, instead one can go directly into building models, with real business impact. And the great thing is that there are no limitations for imagination, even for team members who don't have that much experience with SQL or other data programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Y42?

The only thing I would like to see added is being able to enter queries, which you enter into BigQuery, directly in Y42. Because at the moment there are a few functionalities which BigQuery offers, that aren't in Y42. Apart from that I have found nothing so far, which would discourage me from using it or recommending it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most awesome tool I ever used"
5/5
What do you like best about Y42?

Speed: The tool is incredibly fast, since it is running on BigQuery Data and Data previews are calculated with a sample. Most previews are ready in less than 10 seconds. I was also able to build the above flow while traveling by train, using only my iPhone hotspot.

Quality of Data: The Data I am getting for Facebook Ads is exactly what Facebook provides. So I can just use the Facebook documentation and also got access to a lot of information that Supermetrics e.g. does not provide. Although this information is not critical, it is quite nice.

Really easy handling of JSON Objects: They even got an integrated JSON visualizer so you don’t need to copy and paste the Objects somewhere. Also there is a JSON flattening option for the Import and a really handy way of extracting and transforming Information from JSON Objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Y42?

Since the software is being developed so fast, there are some minor bugs from time to time. However, none of those caused the data to be off, because most of them were only happening in the user interface. This makes y42 one of the most reliable tools that I have ever used in this area.

"Good and reliable all-in-one BI solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Y42?

Y42 is very easy to implement and doesn't require extensive resources or know-how to keep it running. The tool connects with pretty much any data source you can think of, and even if something is missing, Y42 is keen to add new integrations. The onboarding process and ongoing support are also very satisfactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Y42?

The visualizations feature doesn't offer as much as visualization-focused competitors, but Y42 is constantly improving it, so the limitations should disappear over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CEO with hands-on and data-centric approach"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Y42?

That I can get Sales and Operational reports from my team and drill into more detail easily. I was constantly reliant on my data team for even the smallest changes creating lag time. We also have a variety of data pools from ERP’s to custom data lakes. I liked that we were able to get the data in y42 quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Y42?

I had to get used to the visualization style as I switched from Microsoft Power BI but after some time I am now getting used to it and it is OK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick time to set up with preconfigured data connectors for my webstore. Easy to use reporting that was fast. Ongoing support from the y42 team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Y42?

I would like to see some dashboards that come preconfigured with the software rather than me working with the team to configure them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Found this company at the right time"
5/5
What do you like best about Y42?

I'm responsible for delivering reports inside my company. While simple use cases like financial reporting are okish in google-sheets, advanced use-cases like marketing attribution have been close to impossible for me to build with our existing tooling. After some google search, I found Datos and was able to convince my boss to start a PoC. By now, I'm able to automate most of my report work and add new use-cases at a much faster pace than before. I can integrate with all of our advertising tools and set-up proper Marketing Attribution reports. My boss has been very impressed so far! I must say that the development speed is impressive at Datos. I have been asked by the Datos team to write a review and I'm happy to do so - 5 out of 5 stars! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Y42?

While the speed of development is impressive, smaller bugs creep in as a result of the fast release. However, I can live with them as long as Datos keeps releasing new features as fast as right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent for my portfolio companies"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Y42?

I have invested in several start-ups and recommended all of them to use y42. With y42, my portfolio companies can deliver standardized investor reporting, which helps them internally to be much more data-driven as well. Most of my portfolio companies are in the range of 20-100 employees, and some of them don’t have the financial means to invest in a big data-engineering team to build out the data infrastructure. Y42 has been a true game-changer for these companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Y42?

The product itself has many features, but documentation is still lacking in some areas. Hence, my portfolio companies rely heavily on the customer success team of y42 if they get stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
