Row Zero offers a simpler and more affordable solution for serve analytics compared to using Excel or Google Sheets with add-ins, BI tools, and the supporting security and human resources to make it work.
With Row Zero
Spreadsheets securely connect directly to your data source via built-in connectors. Anyone can securely self-serve large, production datasets in the comfort of a spreadsheet. There are no middleware BI dashboards, no add-ins, no giant backlog of data requests. Many customers eliminate their BI tools entirely or reduce licenses.
Without Row Zero
Teams use BI tools to stage data for exports to spreadsheets, pay for add-ins to connect Google Sheets to data sources, and build out complicated governance protocols to try to keep data secure. Data teams are burdened with constant requests to build and update BI dashboards or create data extracts for business and operations teams. The end result is a lot of expensive licenses, overwhelmed data teams, and business users frustrated that they can get all of the data they need.
