Klipfolio Klips vs. OpenText Magellan

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.

It depends on extensibility, set-up, access & style. Actuate performs fairly well, but has performance issues because it sits on top of eclipse, which sits on top of Java. Extensibility usually comes at that price. Set-up is fairly straightforward and it can be secured.

• 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.

• Ability to connect to different kinds of sources, including web services, and customize those queries to the extend needed
• Provide tools to customize the look & feel of the reports as much as needed, even being able to choose different appearances for different outputs
• Allowing scripting in the reports extends the functionality available
• Allowing to embed reports without further licensing and maintaining all the functionality

• 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.

• Report rendering can take a long time for large reports (250,000+ pages) - we run these in batch over night
• The deployment of production code from development to test to production enviroments can be complex due to the number of components that must compile

I am no longer working for the company that was using Actuate but I believe they would continue to use it because the stitching costs would be to high. It would require a complete rewrite of the reports and the never version of Actuate (BIRT) even required an almost complete report rewrite

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.

It is quite intuitive to use. It is fit specifically for doing sentiment, emotion, and intention analysis as well as text classification and text summarization. I would have given 10 if it is fit for the purpose of doing image processing and analysis as well. There is a huge market to analyze video and image data.

It provides all the necessary information to be able to carry out the analysis of any type of business, to know how money is managed virtually, what to do to have greater visibility, in addition to being a platform that is always accessible and allows continuous and efficient work.

Always there on the front and backend for us and the client.

None at all; just be sure of what information you will need for working.

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.

It is vastly superior to these in many ways, for complex reporting it is a much more sophisticated solution. Visualizations are very good. Javascript extensibility is very powerful, others don't support this or as well. Pentaho and MS are both OLAP oriented. Pentaho is moving more toward big data, which was not our primary focus. Others are stuck in the Crystal Reports Band metaphor.

• Klipfolio not only delivers great-looking dashboards, but it makes our agency look awesome to our clients!
• Klipfolio is one of the few platforms that we have implemented where the minimal investment has consistently provided maximum results in the return on our investment.
• Not only had Klipfolio proven to be a fiscally smart - money-saving - move, but has also proven to be a great time saver as well.
• Thanks to Klipfolio we spend less time having to pull data and have more time to analyze and strategize for our reporting and recommendations to our clients.

• Actuate can handle 50 to 60 sub reports inside a report very well.
• Dynamically creating the datasource, chart, graph, reports are the main advantages. We can do any level of drilling, and can create a performance matrix dashboard efficiently.
