The perfect BI Platform for publishers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TapClicks for our advertisers. Before TapClicks, my colleagues simply sent out Excel reports in the form of a table. There were little analytics. We were not able to compete with the upcoming agencies which provide clients with BI solutions tools. Our sales representatives and clients are very impressed once I have introduced them to TapClicks.

Pros

  • Abundance of widgets for building dashboard templates.
  • It offers the structure of business units, groups of client groups and client groups etc which makes it easy to organize the clients according to our company structure.
  • The dashboards are easy to modify.
  • Sections and dashboards can be copied/duplicated for use in other dashboards.
  • Users are assigned profiles to make the appropriate dashboards available to them
  • A lot of data sources' APIs have already been built.
  • Report Studio makes Powerpoint presentation much easier.

Cons

  • Bar charts and pie charts are not sorted in descending/ascending order. They are in alphabetical order.
  • Steep learning curve

Most Important Features

  • Tons of API connections available to media companies.
  • Dashboards are easily customizable.
  • Only one dashboard is enough for general use because widgets or products/services will be hidden when there is no data

Return on Investment

  • We are able to steer more business from clients who have been provided with BI solutions.

Usability

Helping multi-unit organizations manage marketing programs effectively and efficiently

Pros

  • Customizable dashboards: these are easy to set-up and manage and tell a powerful story. We appreciate that they can be exported.
  • Import Wizard: it's very important that we are able to include custom data points in our reports through the Import Wizard. After a short learning curve, we are not importing data on a weekly basis for a comprehensive report that not only shows marketing trends, but the business results too.
  • Groups and Clusters: The ability to manage client groups and clusters has been vital to how we report out to the client.

Cons

  • Parsing Time: We rely on the Import Wizard quite a bit. When we upload a new file, sometimes it parses and is in the dashboard within 30 minutes but usually it takes a full day. We usually need that data much faster and it would be great if it could parse quicker.
  • We had a long standing issue where the Total Facebook Likes and Twitter Likes in the dashboard would display a compounded aggregate, not the total. So for example, we have 1,000 Likes on Nov 3, 1,002 Likes on Nov 4th (because we added 2 people) - the Big Number would show this as a total of 2,002 total likes instead of 1,002.
