Row Zero offers a simpler path to self-serve analytics than combining a spreadsheet with add-ins, BI tools, and the supporting security and staffing.
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, use 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 more licenses, busier data teams, and business users who wait on data requests.
