Compare required features and total maintenance costs for your situation.
Common BI bottlenecks
Tired of these BI frustrations?
Per-user license costs
In standard SMB setups without expensive Fabric F64+ capacity, every team member viewing shared reports requires a paid Power BI Pro or PPU license.
Complex DAX calculations
Simple changes to margin calculations or date filters require specialized BI consultants and fragile formulas.
Failing data refreshes
Direct API connections in Power Query hit vendor rate limits or break when OAuth tokens expire.

Which widgets and visualizations are available in DigiData?
DigiData includes 17+ widget types: KPI metric cards, interactive tables with drilldowns, waterfall charts, geographic maps, funnel charts, pivot matrices, combo charts, gauges and line charts with cross-filtering.
Can I consolidate multiple Exact Online or Twinfield administrations?
Yes. DigiData is designed for holding structures. You can synchronize dozens of administrations and consolidate revenue, margins and accounts receivable in unified dashboards.
Do team members need a paid license to view dashboards?
