Likelihood to Recommend
Clear Analytics has almost all the features which are mostly required by the organizations for their data analytics and transformation activities. Clear Analytics is built on the support of a parallel query engine which makes it handle large volume requests and also provides optimized results. However, every solution has some limitations, Clear Analytics lacks advanced features such as Predictive Analytics which is a very demanding feature in the market as most organizations are adopting AI/ML automation for their businesses. Also, it needs to add a lot of advanced visualizations so that the user has the choice of selection. Overall a good solution to be recommended.

It's
a piece of software that's capable of almost anything. Dynamic variables can be
changed in real-time via the interface's UI/UX and UI/UX customizations. As a
result, it can always keep its database up-to-date and obtain the most current
information from a variety of sources. The Klip customer service team is
extremely friendly and helpful. Every time a problem with the Klip setup
arises, they're there to help. As a result of their activities, they try to
work with the group's experience.

Pros

  • Presentation of large data in a summarized manner
Read full review
  • Dashboard design. Super simple and easy to set up, move and size components, and display.
  • Klip creation. This is report/chart creation. Klipfolio straddles the line well between ease-of-use and robust capability for data crunching and visualization.
  • Data sync. I have had very few data sync issues. The sync just works and it is very light-weight on API calls.
  • Multiple data source formats. You can make data sources in JSON, Summarized View, and Detailed View.
  • Modeled data sources. You can create modeled versions of any data source, which allows you to lock in data formats, add columns (including formula columns), and more.
  • Team permissions. I have been able to set team permission sets and use that to display the given dashboards around the office. With this, I can control who has access to which data.
  • Chart options. There is a great selection of chart types to choose from.
  • Great support. Their support staff has always been very responsive—almost always immediate. I have always been able to resolve my issues with them.

Cons
  • For Charts and Graphs , getting the Power Point Deck would be helpful. As of now we use the data from Excel Reports

  • Onboarding. The process of setting up a new client for a dashboard can be a little tedious.
  • File size upload and third-party integrations. I have been limited to the size of the .csv file we were uploading but we were able to find a workaround.

My initial impressions of the software have been extremely positive. There are YouTube tutorials that explain how to make klips. The intuitive design of the UI It appears that everything in this software has been thoroughly tested to create all the visualizations that can be imagined as well as the user input controls that allow users to have exactly the data they want to be displayed in seconds, considering the various functions and formulas available in the Excel integrations and the extensive list of other services that can be integrated.

Support Rating
Clear Analytics has very good team members in Consulting as well as in Customer Support. The support agents are capable of providing the required resolution of your queries in a timeline provides. They have a clear understanding of the product and its features, and they are friendly in nature. However, for some advanced or level 2/3-based queries, they required some more time to respond, which is ok.

We didn’t choose this software because we found it didn’t adjust to what we really needed to do as a small business.

It was clear that Klipfolio had the edge in terms of the number of third-party connectors and templates available, allowing us to quickly be up and running with various API integrations and visually stunning designs in only an hour. It was a no-brainer for us, and we're glad we went with them instead of the other options.
