critical function for our daily business

excellent - the most critical app we use with our website

PROS

the ease of use and ability to display, aggregate and deploy data for our day to day use is incredible. it accesses all data captured from our website and is able to to provide preformatted reports or custom reports. it allows for scheduled reporting via email or syncing to google sheets - we have our main production workflow based off of a core report and cascading reports that is displayed real time.

CONS

learning curve for custom reports can be a little steep at first, but this is supplemented by amazing and responsive customer support

A rapid solution to our need for easily managed scale reporting across our Stripe Connect portfolio

We're gaining visibility of multi-merchant data, at scale, that would be impossible to share in Stripe (we even tried Stripe's own Sigma reporting tool). This is near real time (hourly in our case), we have so much freedom in how we use the data, and the experience has been made perfect by the high level of support from the folks at BetterReports.

PROS

We assessed multiple products but BetterReports were the only provider to really understand our use case, work with us to solve it, and provide a tool with an exceptionally flexible report building interface (some of the underlying or optional query power is fantastic) and offering a unique workflow to push data out into our Google Sheets environment where we run imports and lookups to power live summaries and graphs. Alongside this the best thing about the software is the support which is fast, experienced, and helpful.

CONS

I can't say there is much I don't like because the solutions we have figured out more than outweigh the limitations - I expected the standard of the administration portal and the lack of variety on user types to be a disappointment but in the end understanding we use the tool to push data elsewhere to be used by folks (off the back of a ridiculous amount of large-scale data consolidation from Stripe)

Reason for choosing Better Reports

It took time to query our use case with all the vendors but in the end Plecto, Putler, and Baremetrics simply don't support Stripe Connect accounts (where you're dealing with multiple merchants' data, not just one). Additionally Baremetrics only thinks about subscriptions yield. Flatly was a viable contender as they offered to solve the use case, but since they are exclusively about data transportation, whereas BetterReports gives us a tool to build and view the reports first before pushing to GoogleSheets, it is a reliable single tool. Plus BetterReports support and engagement of their team was hugely reassuring.

Reasons for switching to Better Reports

Stripe's native reporting or their Sigma product provide only very basic solutions to reporting across a Stripe Connect merchant portfolio, and certainly without the necessary clarity and control for users who only need dashboards and reporting. BetterReports has helped us curate powerful standalone views which better still our teams can incorporate into other reports and analysis directly in G-Suite.
