Cluvio

Avantages

Product is very easy to learn and use. It is very consistent in its application of new functionality and its new features are worked into the UI very well. Dashboard creation is very straightforward, and it is very easy to switch between your data sources. The filter functionality on reports is also pretty flexible.

The ability to create custom and secure sharing links has been very helpful in sharing communication with customers. The API service has also been very useful.

Finally, Cluvio's customer service is probably the best customer service I've ever worked with. Fast, informative, accurate, and helpful are the only types of responses I've ever received from them.

Inconvénients

I personally would really like the option to have drilldown links open up new tabs as opposed to only creating bread crumbs. While conditional formatting on reports is nice, it could use some updating to be a little more robust (i.e. multi-column conditions or at least be able to make the conditioned based on a different column).

No access to in-depth user usage data without requesting it from Cluvio, and even then we do not have access to the data directly, but instead have to request custom reports. Not the worse thing, especially considering the speed of Customer Service, but still slightly annoying.

Avantages

- Price is great comparing to similar software;
- you can use R to manipulate raw data;
- customization of the dashboards is straight forward (adding filters, selects and etc)
- support is awesome

Inconvénients

Would love to see more control over permissions/roles. However not critical at all

Pourquoi choisir Cluvio 

Pourquoi passer à Cluvio

Avantages

It's a very good software, less expensive than competitors. Visualization tools are great, and it's very easy to play with the dashboards layout. Of course it needs knowledge on SQL to create things; with dynamic filters, drill-downs, conditional formatting it's very easy to customize things. I experienced a superlative customer support, helping also users that are using the free edition. Absolutely a great tool!

Inconvénients

It would be a good balance for very small enterprises/startups to have a basic level subscription (less than 50€/mo) for some more features such as 3 users, 2-3 daily schedules and some more queries/month. The gap between free edition and the pro (249€/mo) IMHO is a bit too wide. Nevertheless the free edition is already giving great features for an entry level user.

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.

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.

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

It just works. Reliable data visualization embedding. Easy to use and set up. Price is in the right range for a startup. Enough data viz options for most use cases. Great customer service, very responsive.

Inconvénients

Documentation is a little lacking. Its missing an easy to use map/choropleth data viz. Wish it had more "click-through" capabilities.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Avantages

Cluvio has nice visualisations that can be easily connected to SQL queries with dynamic filters, drill-downs, conditional formatting. Also their customer support was really nice and helped me even with an issue that was my fault, not theirs.

Inconvénients

Some visualisations could be added on top: I would in particular love to have swarm plots and violin plots (or at least box plots) - though swarm plots can be somewhat replaced by the XY / Bubble type.

Avantages

combing a variety of reports into a single dashboard, including the ability to aggregate a variety of ways (hour, day, month, etc)
Exposing dashboards to a variety of users.
Allowing filters to control content per dashboard

Inconvénients

Our company does not have any current cons or complaints with cluvio. A minor improvement would be to allow SQL alerts to be a permission granted to non-admins.

Avantages

Fast to get some basic result. Support is really good (delay and quality of answer).
Render is nice and clean.

Inconvénients

Some advanced example and use case in documentation will allow to go further before being limited by basic SQL knowledge.
The possibility to batch or edit multiple widget will help to maintain the dashboard.

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.

Avantages

1. The yearly cost of subscription coupled with the number of accommodated users provides more value compared to other available visualization tools behind a paywall.
2. The response time in terms of support and feedback is both commendable and dependable.
3. Straight forward and easy to use tools with a focus on productivity with controls that are intuitive enough to quickly understand, work with, and deploy reports.

Inconvénients

1. The available catalog of visualizations is a little thin compared to other alternatives in the market.
2. Some queries had to be adjusted in order to get their results rendered to the line graph when they should've been adequate enough to begin with.

Avantages

Very easy to use if you know SQL. Perfect for a solo analyst just trying to pop up a quick dashboard. Probably great for teams as well, but we don't share widely yet.

Inconvénients

Expensive once you add a bunch of users. Probably not good for users who don't know SQL, but really really good for users who do.

Avantages

Cluvio is easy to use, it has a rich feature set, it's reliable and cost effective.

Inconvénients

There's nothing I don't like about Cluvio.

Alternatives envisagées 

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.

Avantages

This software is beautiful, the data types and charts are awesome and gives great options to display the information that need the users. It has some really nice features like the filters and the data display types.

Inconvénients

This software is so expensive for the small owners bussiness. The tool does not let you change colors for the data displayed. Also it lacks explanition for various features.

Avantages

The employees at the organization that I work for are very comfortable writing SQL, which makes this interface much more easy to use. Competitors such as tableau often have very clicky interfaces. Cluvio is lightweight but can you are able to do the basics faster/easier than with other tools. The ability to use the R integration is also an added bonus.

Inconvénients

The graphs/reports produced aren't as customizable as with other similar products. I would love the ability to flip back and forth between SQL and R but you have to go from SQL then R (and you can't go back to SQL).

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!

Avantages

SQL editor is the best I've used. Makes writing code quick and easy.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a bit more content on FAQs and or guide material.

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.

Avantages

Being SQL based helped me a lot. very useful and functional.

Inconvénients

While it was free at first, the price difference in a moment after that was huge. But I still recommend it.

Avantages

Ease of integration with our current SQL system, combined with intuitive dashboard building made Cluvio a good fit for our requirements

Inconvénients

Some of the features that make the software more convenient and useful are limited to the higher paid tiers

Avantages

I test the pay platform and it is really useful. As we don't have enough sale to pay it, know we are using the free resource. I loved the option to share the numbers only, and it's really easy to integrate and create all the graph.

Inconvénients

it is expensive, so for little startups as us isn't possible to use the pay platform.
It don't have google analytics

Avantages

Cluvio has excellent graphical features and is easy to use and fairly intuitive and the reporting is very smooth

Inconvénients

At the beginning the price is way too expensive for my taste

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.

Avantages

Super easy implementation and easy to use. Cluvio really changed the way we look and work with our data. It is easy to create dashboards and the contact was always pretty helpful. Definitely the best value for money on the market.

Inconvénients

Could have some more dashboard layouts but this is just a nice to have and since the product is relatively new there might be more features to come.

Avantages

The Design. Each widget to present your data is very clear and modern.

Inconvénients

The user management. It's very limited to manage data security / visibility for a group of users.

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).

Avantages

It is really quick to set up, immediately usable. Nice to share online access to database content .
Also nice that it can be expanded it needed, with some fancy "R" code, but in most cases, the standard options are just fine.

Inconvénients

Ok, the deeper logic is in the queries, which have to be written by yourself; the tool only takes care of the visualization. That's a limit, but once the expectations are set correctly, there is nothing to dislike about the tool.

Avantages

* We can quickly develop dashboards
* Alerts and Exports (pdf , Excel CSV) are very good features

Inconvénients

Embed Api performance needs improvement.
Table Customizations needs some improvement

Avantages

It was a very clean UI, and offers most of the customization options desired by users. Usability is also good.

Inconvénients

The price is a bit much for small companies, specially in under developed countries. It could also improve map quality.

Avantages

+ Easy to setup and intuitive to use. You can get a dashboard in a couple of minutes.
+ Extra power by the possibility of using R in addition to SQL.
+ Customer support is great and development team is always willing to assist you!
+ Wide range of options for sharing dashboards (viewer users, embedded dashboards, link share, periodic e-mail report, etc.)
+ Available filters to refine the data shown in dashboards.
+ Quite some bunch of graph options which surely cover most of the general user needs.

Inconvénients

- User interface could be improved, specially the navigation between dashboards.
- Dashboards tend to become a bit slow when containing too many graphs and data.
- Available color schemes and customization choices are fine, but more options would be welcomed.

Avantages

We use it mainly for embedded analytics. It's very easy to embed in a web app.

Inconvénients

We are highly limited in terms of UX. Dashboards have constraints that are hard to integrate with our UX standards.

There are a few available metrics too.

Avantages

It was easy to pick up and use for our engineering team.

Inconvénients

Nothing really comes to mind, it is a pretty feature rich product and is easy to use and onboard into.

Avantages

Easy to use and powerful dashboard with perfect design

Avantages

It can quickly response when we change the tools and we can resize the chart and set the position and I like one main thing is we can edit the dashboard page after published.

Inconvénients

I like we can edit the query in query editor and total count details query result display in square object.

Avantages

The software is obviously in infancy, but currently has a great foundation of useful functionality. The support staff has been great!

Inconvénients

I wish there were a few additional formatting and customization options. I fully expect this to be included soon.

Avantages

Software is cheap and compatible with quite a number of data sources

Inconvénients

The Software has very few visualizations ie graphs, tables. Their is also more need for more beautification/eye catching designs or graphs

Avantages

Easy to set up. Easy to create graphs. Beautiful. Nice to show our investors. Examples helped us get started without too much customer support. Issue we had with alert format was immediately resolved / pushed to live.

Inconvénients

Wish I could embed a graph by a filter, supplying a coded link. I'd be willing to pay more for this. Essentially, we create graphs that can be filtered by our customer, and I'd like to be able to embed just this one graph in my customer's dashboard (but not let them access any other customers if they look at the URL).

Avantages

The ease of executing and visualizing queries. Easy to share/collaborate. Very easy to customize. Open and account and start using it right away

Avantages

Quick to setup, best customer support ever

Inconvénients

More advanced features missing, but those are needed for rare use cases

Avantages

1. Bussiness intelligent software.
2. Aadvance report creator.
3. Your data on the Wall.
4. Good administration security.
5. Easy share.

Inconvénients

It should be a great idea to make more comercialization about this software because in my office only few people knowledge the great capacity It has. But in general is a great tool.

Avantages

- Easy to get up and running
- Reasonably priced
- Very nice graphical outputs, easy to build
-

Inconvénients

- Occasionally a bit buggy, but very responsive customer support

Avantages

Plain and clear presentation of the data and dashboards, filter on table and variable names in New Report/SQL part, Hover function on Dashboards/Reports.

Inconvénients

Errors on correct SQL sometimes, depending how you run the code, having to click the button "Run" in order to run SQL...

Avantages

Quick and easy to create powerful, visually attractive sashboards

Inconvénients

Occasionally slow to slow large database schema

Avantages

I liked the ease of use and the possibility to use different data source.

Inconvénients

For big query is slow: the bottleneck is the external DB, not Cluvio itself, but I would appreciate a caching mechanism (like a BI software)
