“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Most Salesforce reporting alternatives with unlimited object connections fall into expensive enterprise BI categories at $100+ per user monthly. Coefficient provides a budget-friendly solution under typical $50/month thresholds while delivering unlimited object connectivity through spreadsheet-based reporting that scales with team size rather than data complexity.
Here’s how to get enterprise-level multi-object reporting capabilities without enterprise pricing, plus cost comparisons with traditional alternatives.
Get unlimited object connections within budget constraints
Salesforce’s native reporting limits you to 4 objects maximum, while most reporting alternatives charge per object, per connection, or require expensive per-user licensing. Spreadsheet-based approaches eliminate these restrictions while leveraging tools you already use.
How to make it work
Step 1. Leverage existing spreadsheet tool licensing.
Use Coefficient with Google Sheets (free) or Excel (existing Office subscription) to eliminate separate BI tool licensing costs. This approach scales with your team size rather than charging per object or connection, keeping costs predictable as your analysis needs grow.
Step 2. Connect unlimited Standard and Custom Objects.
Import any number of Salesforce objects – Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Case, Campaign Member, Tasks, Events, plus all Custom Objects – without per-object fees. Create comprehensive analysis that spans your entire Salesforce ecosystem.
Step 3. Set up automated refresh schedules for real-time analysis.
Schedule hourly, daily, or weekly data synchronization so your unlimited object reports stay current without manual intervention. Get enterprise-level automation at spreadsheet pricing.
Step 4. Build cross-departmental reporting dashboards.
Create unified dashboards combining Sales (Opportunities), Marketing (Campaigns), Service (Cases), and Custom Operations data. Analyze complete customer journeys across all business functions without object limitations.
Step 5. Compare total cost of ownership.
Traditional BI tools like Tableau ($15+ per user) and PowerBI ($10+ per user) require additional Salesforce connector costs. Einstein Analytics starts at $125+ per user monthly. Coefficient’s approach provides unlimited object connections for a fraction of these costs.
Step 6. Scale analysis without scaling costs.
Add more objects, create more complex relationships, and build more sophisticated dashboards without triggering additional per-object or per-connection fees that plague traditional BI platforms.
Start unlimited object reporting within budget
This approach provides enterprise-level multi-object reporting capabilities at a fraction of traditional BI tool costs. You get unlimited Salesforce object connections, automated reporting, and advanced analytics while staying within budget constraints. Build comprehensive analysis that shows the complete picture of your business performance.
