Why Teams Struggle to Extract Data-Driven Insights (And How MarkovML Solves It)

Anjali Kaikini
May 7, 2025

You’re swimming in data—campaign performance metrics, CRM pipeline data, social engagement, win-loss rates, and so much more. But without top-notch data visualization and AI data-driven insights, raw numbers just create noise and more distractions.

For go-to-market teams, the gap between having data and using data translates to lost revenue growth, lack of agility, and failing to gain an edge over the competition.

Legacy tools and manual data analysis can’t keep up. Spreadsheets don’t surface the trends, static dashboards fail to answer “why,” and siloed systems force you to guess or hypothesize what’s actually occurring.

It’s time to transform chaos into clarity.

Why Traditional Data Analysis Fails Marketers

Traditional data analysis is riddled with implementation hurdles, including pulling together siloed data, analysis delays when you have to wait for a data scientist team, and potentially human error when manual steps are taken with pressure to deliver metrics.

Issue: Customer buying behavior lives in your CRM, ad engagement metrics in Google or LinkedIn Ads, and your sales transaction in a Netsuite. With data scattered across different apps, systems and possibly spreadsheets, how do you get the whole picture?

Siloed Data = Incomplete Insights

Issue: Teams spend hours weekly merging datasets, cleaning errors, and in some cases begging IT or the data scientist team for newly run reports and faster access to updates. These tasks include writing emails, data collection, and data entry.

Time wasted on manual analysis

Issue: Even with enough datasets, it is tough to actually understand the numbers and metrics.

Marketers have to jump through hoops to execute basic SQL queries, often relying on data scientists to build systems for them. According to this report by Funnel.io, 87% of surveyed marketing teams say they still rely on data folks who work outside marketing. 

Jumping through hoops to find answers

Issue: Legacy and mainstream tools show vanity metrics (e.g., “total clicks”) but ignore actionable data-driven insights like-

  • Which digital campaigns actually influenced the pipeline?
  • Why did our current branded ad campaigns perform worse than in prior quarters?
  • Which content types convert high-value leads?
Static dashboards miss what matters

Issue: Manual processes for data extraction, table joins, and analysis often introduce mistakes, leading to mislabeled/misunderstood columns, overlooked outliers, and misattributed ROI.

Human error skews decision-making
