There are so many such solutions, that It depends on your use cases.

If you're looking for high-level dashboarding/monitoring that connects directly with your sources (REST, 3rd-party apps like Facebook, Adwords, etc), then tools in the realm of Klipfolio, Databox, Grow.com will suit you well. If you're looking for visualization tools that connect to your data-warehouse/SQL database, then BI tools like Holistics, Metabase, Redash, etc will likely work for you. And of course there's tools that can support both kinds of sources, like PowerBI and Google Data Studio.

P/s: This post does a good job at laying down a framework for evaluating these sort of BI tools: https://www.holistics.io/books/setup-analytics/navigating-th...

This is a great reply.

A nondev should likely stick to the first group, which has a lot of integrations and the hardest coding will be around excel formulas at most

In my experience its best to do the following:

Have 1 dashboard specific to business finance and ads metrics. This dashboard includes klipfolio or simpler things like grow or fathom accounting.

Another tool connected to your bd, at the most basic starting with mode Analytics and then going full visual with looker or tableau (this is where things get expensive)

You seem to be kind of shadowban (not sure what the proper term is), you might want to write an email to the hn moderation to clear that up

[IG_Semmelweiss]

you were correct. Thanks for pointing this out.

Have a great new year!

Grow.com supports both 3rd party, as well as SQL database. It doesn't run SQL directly on your db, but pulls it into the provided data warehouse.

I work at Grow, happy to answer any questions.
