What I like about Supermetrics as Content marketing reporting tool?
Flexible data granularity: Supermetrics data source connectors allow freely combining metrics and dimensions directly from dashboards and spreadsheets, unlike ETL tools requiring pre-setup tables and data combinations to set up marketing data pipelines.
Easy to use for Sheets users: it allows users to directly connect data sources to data destinations without extra setup, SQL, or parameters. Although it does not control the UI/UX like dedicated reporting tools, its role as a data integration platform and data aggregator makes it appealing for those accustomed to tools like Google Sheets.
Supermetrics has a transformation layer that let users blend data across channels to allow calculating global CPAs, ROAS, goals, currency conversions, agency markups, and creating custom fields. This feature is only available for higher plans and a sales call is required.
Storage: accuracy, speed, and stability: Supermetrics doesn’t have default data storage ( but rather let users pull their data on destinations where they can store it such as a spreadsheet or a data warehouse. As such, users are reliant on APIs stability, speed, and availability to get their reports.
Supermetrics does offer some storage for connectors that otherwise can’t work such as Shopify or HubSpot, but it’s limited and tend to be slow if the data volume is high. This approach gurantees that the data is up-to-date when refreshed as it comes directly from the source API.
Other reporting solutions that offer storage are prone to have several hours of delay.
Scaled support team: previously criticized for its quality. Recent reviews highlight faster and more effective service, supported by team expansion efforts shown on their career and LinkedIn pages.
