Powerful Reporting Tool
Avantages
I love that it connects to my databases and allows me to generate reports from my own queries. Also, the scheduled reports and SQL alerts are very helpful.
Inconvénients
I really wish it allowed for uploading and reporting from Excel/CSV files
When your project at home gets more serious get Cluvio
I have had absolutely 0 problems or complaints
Avantages
It's free. It's simple. Best part is they don't hassle you into buying a paid subscription. It's a blend of these three reasons that when I grow Theta Gang (my business) I will absolutely make sure to continue using them and purchasing a larger subscription as my data complexity grows. I just absolutely love their product vs value ratio.
Inconvénients
Visuals are a little lack luster, but i'm more of a table guy anyway
was pleasantly surprised !
its a user friendly product which guides you through its features. i had no trouble figuring out and the learning curve was not steep. during my 1st week in the trail, i was emailed by representative (CEO of Cluvio) and he helped me set things up and when i inquired about a discount - he politely declined (citing policy) and suggested other open source Dashboards. this itself impressed me greatly and made me sad to leave Cluvio.
Avantages
the level of customization's need to be tinkered with a bit but overall i got a sense of how feature packed Cluvio is, having tried several other dashboard solutions i was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
Inconvénients
the price was the only factor. it wasn't sustainable for us we needed a much lower subscription, we later on switched to powerBi
Great product
Really accelerates our support issues and helps monitor the kpis of the company. Great product.
Avantages
Really easy to use, charts are visually appealing. Parameterized query feature is great.
Inconvénients
The sql editor is difficult to use at times (doesn't handle emojis well). Pricing model is extremely confusing for small teams.
super easy to use, support is immediate and very forthcoming, you will not be disappointed
it helped massively improve insight into our data, we work with big data - we need to be able to see how different variables correlate over time and with "different perspectives" - creating dashboards with auto-updating graphs showing our data from different perspectives and seeing it all in one place helped us to figure out "hidden" connections between variables that would be else hard to spot, it helped us monitor all our "variables" over time, inspect and data-mine
Avantages
excellent functionality - R integration rocks! live data previews when building the query help a lot, has a free version! dashboards can be shared or even embedded, EU-based company, very fast and helpful support even outside of business hours
Inconvénients
could be cheaper but free version should get you started, sometimes lags, not sure if server or browser problem but with large amounts of data it becomes hard to use - very slow to respond, select count is limited to 5000
Powerful Product, Great Value, Thoughtful Customer Service
We're able to quick and easily analyze, visualize and share the data we need internally and externally. Awesome product.
Avantages
- Super easy and fast to setup and use - we were up and running in a few hours and it's quick to build additional reporting when we need it
- Fully featured - it does pretty much everything we need, and when we have suggestions for additional things we want the company is super responsive
- Great value - definitely more bang for your buck than the competitors we evaluated
- Thoughtful service - they respond quickly and thoughtfully for any questions
Great tool and Beautiful UI
Great. Can't fault them.
Avantages
* Extremely easy to use, very intuitive UI
* Full featured - everything I need
* Great graphing features
Inconvénients
The cheapest paid plan they have is still a few hundred bucks a month. That's expensive. They do offer a free plan but with limited features and usage. It's a shame they don't have a cheaper plan geared towards small companies wanting some basic reporting needs.
My cluvio experience
It has enabled us to come up with visual representations of the data in our systems which has given us control over the great insights in the decision-making process
Avantages
A very awesome software that allows us to have custom queries run on data to produce very amazing results prior to business intelligence and analysis
Inconvénients
Its graphical representation of the dashboards and reports is really amazing
Cluvio is doing exactly what it's supposed to do: quickly build data dashboards and share them
Previously we had difficulties collecting relevant data and data reports in one place and make these reports available to stakeholders in the company. With Cluvio it's easy to have exactly one location for reports that can be used by all departments within the company, also being able to quickly setup new dashboards, expand and adapt existing dashboards.
Avantages
Biggest selling point for Cluvio is its UX and ease-of-use. It makes it easy to quickly put together data dashboards and iterate on them. I also like the sharing options that allow us to share dashboards and relevant filters both internally and externally.
Inconvénients
There's not much too dislike about Cluvio. There are a few interface quirks every now and then (e.g. when moving reports around in the dashboards) and I would appreciate more elements to structure dashboards (e.g. title cards, report details, etc.) but all in all there aren't any significant issues.
A remarkably well executed BI tool
Avantages
Cluvio is a very well engineered tool. What it does it will do flawlessly. Where other solutions, including those offered by huge companies, often feel buggy and fragile, Cluvio just works as you would expect. This gives you peace of mind to focus on the actual dashboarding. The UI is very clear and only the most advanced options will require a look at the manual. Dynamic (UI-driven) filters are very well done.
Inconvénients
There are fundamental limits to what you can do with Cluvio's approach (SQL + visualisation), but that's not really the tool's fault. You just need to make sure that you actually have the problem solved by the tool. Especially you need to keep in mind that it's not a tool for "pure" business users who are afraid of und unfamiliar with SQL. Cluvio does not come with an integrated proprietary column store or the like, so you queries will be as fast as your underlying DWH executes them. Again, that's more part of the concept than a flaw, but you have to keep it in mind.
Cluvio is amazing - allows me as a CEO to build dashboards without too many engineering resources
I get really great reporting on a very granular level.
Avantages
I love the ease of use and the power of visualizing SQL queries. Other competing software have more features but require lots of engineering resources. The most powerful thing about cluvio is the things you can get without engineering resources.
Inconvénients
At the beginning it was a bit buggy on mobile, but now it's great. It could also be nice to have more excel like features on the pivot table.
Easy BI for anybody
It has been the best BI tool I used and I hope it keeps growing and getting better.
Avantages
Cluvio is easy to use, with perfect data integration, allowing you to get your data from different databases.
Also you have the flexibility to move reports from one dashboard to another as well as duplicate or edit them anytime. Easy ways to export the reports and to embed them in your own web page. Regarding the embedding, I like the different ways to do so, with or without filters despite the business and pro plans.
The custom filters and snippets are a good idea to reuse SQL code.
Inconvénients
It would be nice to have even more graph types to display the data. Also the filters and snippets are a bit hard to use in the beginning and you can't find many examples in the documentation.
Great tool
Avantages
Very easy to set-up (on a MySQL database). Dashboard are clean and readable.
Inconvénients
It lacks a few features, like the ability to ignore empty timeranges, or to draw a line charts over a barchart. I used Periscope data in the past and it was better on these, but probably more complex to use.
Great Business Intelligence Solution
Avantages
This product allows you to easily create interactive dashboards using SQL queries.
Inconvénients
There are some quirks in the SQL syntax if there is a complex expression used in the "WHERE" clause of query in conjunction with a custom filter. The online help center did not have any material on this, but customer support was able to quickly help me with the query.
A great help with few minor flaws
Thanks to Cluvio I was able to create reports about my leads and measure the quality and quantity of them which improved my PPC campaigns a lot.
Avantages
I love the possibility to create reports and connect all the data from various sources and share them within the team. Cluvio is doing its job and it helps us a lot.
Inconvénients
Sometimes after I created a table it shows only some parts of data. I can see all of the data only after sorting them a few times. It's strange and almost caused me mistakes in my reports a few times. Also, error messages are very unclear to me.
Intuitive Software
We're using Cluvio to visualize and analyze data collected by an app on mobile devices.
Avantages
For someone who has never used SQL before, this software made it very easy for me to start querying databases and extracting data. I haven't created any reports from scratch yet myself but I have edited reports created by others and I found the process intuitive and easy to pick.
Inconvénients
The editing of reports seemed slow at times but I'm not sure was this due to the overall size of the data source that I was trying to access or something else. Also there is a bug that hasn't been fixed where the PDF files in the automatically scheduled have a blank map where the map is fine in the body of the email itself.
Best Dashboard Solution
Avantages
Cluvio is a cost effective way to create different dashboards in an inventive and colorful way. Unlike other similar software, Cluvio contains many different presets that allow the creator to play with his dashboard layout. I have been using this to present in different meetings, it helped me get my thoughts across easily. Cluvio also costs a little less than other similar software.
Inconvénients
Although Cluvio is a little easier to understand, I encountered some bugs upon my first usage of the software, especially upon placing or moving charts and others. But as of now, these bugs are almost transparent. It gets better with every use.
Nice Software, user-friendly interface. Great to run some advanced reports
My overall experience with Cluvio has been great so far. I'd recommend it to my colleagues.
Avantages
Cluvio has a nice design, its interface is very user-friendly. For me, the greatest advantage is that it does not use a lot of memory. You can run some not so trivial reports and still keep a lot of tabs opened in your web browser.
Inconvénients
The software requires some knowledge in SQL or R. It is great if you have any previous experience in one of these two programming languages but I do believe it should also include a basic SQL tutorial and a few exercises. This would be an easy way to lern at least the basic querys that are necessary to run some useful reports.
Simple and lightweight tool for real-time analytics
Avantages
It is less expensive than competitors. Different roles and access for users is great. Visualization tools are also great.
Inconvénients
It would be great to be able to extend SQL with additional functions, like loops. It would also be helpful to support more data sources, like Salesforce
Cluvio has been amazing from the moment we came across. Providing every feature we have needed.
We had a need as a business to be able to quickly report on data from our internal sources. Cluvio has allowed us to generate easy to read reports so that members of our team know exactly what is going on in our apps.
Avantages
It has been extremely easy to use. All of the other solutions out there at the price level of Cluvio seem to be very difficult to use. The best part has been that if something was difficult the customer support would have it fixed within a few days.
Inconvénients
The sharing features are awesome, but can be a little confusing to set up. Also once a share link is set up, it has been difficult to edit the parameters that are applied to the link.
Some suggestions for the product - see cons section
ANNOYING CAPTCHA
Avantages
overall a very useful product I'd like to just give some feedback below
ok, I take that back - WHY AM I HAVING TO GO THROUGH AN ANNOYING CAPTCHA to submit this?????
Inconvénients
Please add the following:
- Line number of SQL errors. We're unable to debug statement in Cluvio because all it says that an error occurred somewhere. This requires us to develop queries outside the tool and paste them in.
- Format the filter bar area. The controls there are so small that it's not intuitive for end users to find them
- Something is not right with how you process datetimeoffset values from the database. We're forced to do type conversions in our queries to get the recognized as dates.
- The nav to get to a full page version of a report within a dashboard (where you can see all the records without that weird scrolling gesture) is not obvious. We spend a lot of time repeatedly training people to be able to do that.
Excellent Dashboard Software
Avantages
Really beautiful charts, easy to build and has an R console! With their business plan it's really easy to build bespoke dashboards for specific teams in the business, and I can even share dashboards with external contacts with their links feature.
Customer support has been second to none. Cluvio have on several occasions gotten on a call with me to talk through the product, and their turnaround time is outstanding.
Cluvio has made a huge impact on our reporting of all our analytics!
Inconvénients
Nothing really to add here, it's fantastic!
Best bang for your buck
We were able to replace our home-grown reporting tools with some Cluvio-built dashboards for a fraction of the engineering cost and nothing to maintain. Additionally, the insights we are able to give our clients is bringing us even more business!
Avantages
Ease of use. It was super easy to connect to our Snowflake data warehouse and start making sense of our billions of data points. The price is right, as well, with other companies trying to charge 10s of thousands more for more limited feature sets.
Inconvénients
I wish there were a way to save color palette's do be used in multiple reports/dashboards
Really great to create a Dashboard from a SQL Server Datasource
I was able to set up a Dashboard with Auto refresh from a SQL server really fast.
Avantages
The biggest advantage, in my opinion, is the setup speed. You can really easily add a data source and create your first chart within minutes. There is no special programming language needed, you can get the data just by simple SQL Statements. Also, the Dashboards looks really good.
Inconvénients
For my use case, a faster refresh rate would have been better. But this depends on the task you want to achieve with it. For a dashboard with a SQL Data source, it is a great solution.
We are using cluvio as data visualization tool to be shared with multiple stakeholders
Avantages
Flexibility, easy of use. Possibility to have the "big picture" all in one dashboard. Filters that apply to all cards. Possibility to customize filters. Integration with database allows for real-time data. Many options to create cards.
Inconvénients
Limit of 5000 on filters. Fixed limits on the number of rows per "card". Fixed spacing between cards in the same dashboard. Some dashboards (the ones with a lot of data) talke some time to load- but this can be adressed (thanks to the support of the Cluvio team).
Cluvio has become a critical piece of our operations. We rely on numerous scheduled reports and SQL alerts to let us know when a potential problem has surfaced as well as to provide daily reporting. The Dashboards are used by nearly everyone in the company as a way to easily check on product performance and client success.
