Most underrated dashboard tool
What do you like best about the product?
Slemma integrates with nearly everything but has an easy data API to send custom analytics for anything it doesn't natively support. Slemma dashboards can be shared through links or email so it's easy to do a persistent team dashboard. It can easily build charts and dashboards from that data, but also supports some pretty powerful chart features like custom functions to further process the data before display. I was able to build a "running total" graph very easily which was a nightmare in other tools. All in all, the experience is simple on the surface with pretty powerful features underneath. I struggled to get anything out of other more complex tools and more simplistic tools didn't give me the flexibility I needed. Slemma is right in that sweet spot.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use more connectors to other services. There were a few I had to use the custom dataset API to import myself from a script, but those services are fairly obscure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building dashboards to share with for our company from a ton of data sources including SQL Databases, Salesforce, web traffic, financial metrics, and more.

Hidden Gem for Business Analytics & Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Slemma is powerful yet easy to use. As a marketing generalist (i.e. not a BI expert), I found that most dashboard tools were either too complicated or too simplistic for my needs. I wanted something that was powerful enough to be customized, but easy and intuitive enough for someone like me to manage on my own. Slemma has been perfect in that regard, combining power and ease of use very well. Also, as noted in other reviews, their support team is excellent. They offer in-app live chat, backed by a friendly and knowledgable team, along with next-day email responses to issues that are submitted after hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects of the Salesforce integration did not work very well, and so we ended up using the native reporting capabilities in Salesforce for that part of the business. Otherwise, it has worked very well for reporting data from Google Analytics and our SaaS database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everyday monitoring of KPIs, including web visits, conversion and goal completion. I also pull directly from Slemma when delivering periodic updates to the rest of the management team.
Great Tool - With Some Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Unlimited dashboards, no per user fee, integrations, chart customization / exporting, data refreshing
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could more easily rearrange charts on a dashboard and have some control over what an exported dashboard will look like in pdf form
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sales reporting for our CRM tool.
Slemma - A great accompaniment to our CRM
What do you like best about the product?
It's ease of use, and the many choices of graphs/charts to choose from. It syncs flawlessly with our CRM and automatically updates itself whenever our data changes. It's not only accurate, but it's simple to use with many variations of graph/charts to choose from.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I want to add two separate datasets on the same chart, which I'm struggling with at the moment. Also, I sometimes find that when pairing with Excel things can get a bit glitchy.
Either way, whenever I have any issues, the helpdesk at Slemma are always quick to help and provide a good solution.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The CRM we currently use doesn't have a good reporting function, so bringing Slemma in has been a huge benefit. It's simplicity to use and stylish format is a winner for everyone using it here.
Slemma fits our reporting needs
What do you like best about the product?
We love being able to provide our clients dashboards based on our data. It's relatively easy to create interactive and useful charts and graphs. The customer service is very responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs to integrate with additional apps such as AirTable. Often the knowledgebase is unclear or syntax for calculations is hard to understand. No mobile app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Slemma to provide our client insights into the data we generate on their behalf. It's a great way to provide them real-time information in a very visually pleasing and easy to use way.
Slemma is a great BI product for the startups out there!
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is easy to setup and a 100% online solution. The data connections out of the box are very useful, scheduling functionality is straightforward, sharing with outside the company contacts is user friendly and exporting dashboards and reports to PDF is very convenient.
Also, Slemma is one of the few products that we found on the market that work with PaaS services (like Heroku). This was a deal breaker for us, because in other solutions you can try a direct PostgreSQL connection, but Heroku has certain additional characteristics for achieving that. Support out of the box save us a lot of configuration time!

What do you dislike about the product?
While exporting to PDF is great, delivering those same dashboards and reports via e-mail could be a bit of a hassle. My issue here is when the system convert those to PDF, the visual presentation could be very different and for non-technical users, difficult to read or to correct.
Also, I recommend to implement a better login session. I don't know why, but if I close a browser tab with my account open, then try to enter my account again in the same browser, login credentials are required again.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to measure our sales team performance. Current BI solutions are very robust and complicated for our current needs, and also very expensive. Slemma is a practical tool with a price we're glad to pay in exchange for its current functionalities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Works well with PaaS services (like Heroku)
A Superb Reporting Solution
My business needs to report on a lot of different metrics - these come from quite a few different sources. This is no problem for Slemma; I've got all my reporting all in one place. And, it's easy to use! No need to pull other groups in to create reports for me - I can do it all myself.
Slemma: An Account Manager's Best Friend
What do you like best about the product?
Slemma is always improving their platform for the most optimal way to collect data. So Slemma is constantly making it easier to extract data from a data source and put it into a visual that makes it easy for my clients to see and access. I love the cache feature that makes all the graphs as up to date as possible for our clients to access and base business plans around. Even though there a tons of different features to use in Slemma, the descriptions of all its functionality is not only accurate but very easily understandable so creating charts and dashboards have never been easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
While every program has it's flaws, Slemma's is as minimal as it gets. In my past experiences, I had some confusions on old functionalities that they changed when they rolled out their big update, but their support and team was there to quickly answer my questions and clear up my confusion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the often inaccessibility to the most current up to date data as easy as possible. So having set a cache option for daily updates allows our clients to access their dashboard and analytics without ever having to worry about the data not refreshing or the lack of the most current, accurate data.
Excellent company and superb customer service!
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to easily organize and visualize our data to make better business decisions. The white label has been a great success with our clients and we are able to make internal dashboards for our team as well as professional dashboards and presentations for our clients. Slemma is an excellent company and we are looking forward to continue working with them for many years to come.

The team at Slemma is an extraordinary group with great responsiveness!!
What do you like best about the product?
I like knowing that Slemma is constantly working on improving their product. From releasing new designs and wizards, rolling back small features that got lost in the shuffle, testing and completing new integrations. And then improving and extending those integrations via a robust set of API's.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the integration of a Mondrian based MDX format query language on top of all of the database connections. I would rather work in the native environment for MongoDB than to query it via the system that is now in place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because of the now vast set of integrations that Slemma offers, I am able to view our company as a vertical slice of technology solutions that report back their data and allow us to analyze our customers. see what is working and what is not, and pivot to a new path when necessary to make the most of our business.

Give it a trial, I think you will like it.
