ClicData, the right tool for Effeciency
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
The initial benefit was a way to display Key Performance Indicators to different production facilities around the country. The additional benefits gained, because of the flexibility, was the ease in which you can deliver an informative page for any type of platform. A quick analysis to distribute was much easier than Excel.
It is a very flexible way to also distribute the dashboards to any person, whether behind a password-protected login or just for public viewing.

Pros
- There are many widgets (charts and tables to use for dashboards). There is no limit to the number of dashboards.
- Data synchronization is simple with their data connectors. Connect to Dropbox, SQL, Google Drive and more...
- Each dashboard has its own live link that you can set to use forever or have it expire after a given set of time.
- The flexibility of the product is key. Use of Azure for data storage and data connectivity to just about any type of data source is a big benefit.
Cons
- I wish there were even more widgets for the dashboards such as calendar layouts.
- It would also be nice to be able to query the back-end data using SQL Studio.
- It would be nice to change data connections from the dashboard to dashboard even though they have the same fields and schema.
Likelihood to Recommend
We used ClicData dashboards in a somewhat unorthodox way: we used "Indicators", or icons within tables to represent data, and the results looked great. The ability to integrate 3rd party HTML into dashboards was valuable (although Clic Data correctly warns that response time may suffer).
The ability to start small and release dashboards incrementally suited our needs very well. We also valued the responsive account team getting us quickly pointed in the right direction.
