[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/bi/cluvio-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/bi/cluvio-profile/alternatives/) # Cluvio User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.5/5 - Total reviews: 76 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.5/5 - Customer support: 4.8/5 - Value for money: 4.4/5 - Functionality: 4.3/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 43 reviews (57%) - 4 stars: 29 reviews (38%) - 3 stars: 4 reviews (5%) - 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 0 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - What made my overall experience with Cluvio was initially finding their website clear, easy to follow, and finding the information we were looking for. - Visualization tools are great, and it's very easy to play with the dashboards layout. - As a small, early stage startup, we were looking for a basic embedded analytics provider that would allow a "data-technical" but non-engineering user to create and rapidly iterate on the analytics we're providing to our customers. ### Most mentioned cons - 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. - The graphs/reports produced aren't as customizable as with other similar products. - Don't like the "pay additional price for extra security", i.e. IP restriction. ## Cluvio customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 76 (page 1). ### A great help with few minor flaws - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kajetan W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Thanks to Cluvio I was able to create reports about my leads and measure the quality and quantity of them which improved my PPC campaigns a lot. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the possibility to create reports and connect all the data from various sources and share them within the team. Cluvio is doing its job and it helps us a lot. #### Cons Sometimes after I created a table it shows only some parts of data. I can see all of the data only after sorting them a few times. It's strange and almost caused me mistakes in my reports a few times. Also, error messages are very unclear to me. --- ### Cluvio is doing exactly what it's supposed to do: quickly build data dashboards and share them - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Previously we had difficulties collecting relevant data and data reports in one place and make these reports available to stakeholders in the company. With Cluvio it's easy to have exactly one location for reports that can be used by all departments within the company, also being able to quickly setup new dashboards, expand and adapt existing dashboards. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. --- ### My review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Allan` J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros We use it mainly for embedded analytics. It's very easy to embed in a web app. #### Cons 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. --- ### Great product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Really accelerates our support issues and helps monitor the kpis of the company. Great product. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Really easy to use, charts are visually appealing. Parameterized query feature is great. #### Cons The sql editor is difficult to use at times (doesn't handle emojis well). Pricing model is extremely confusing for small teams. --- ### Best Dashboard Solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Margot K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. --- ### A remarkably well executed BI tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: David Christian B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used other for free trial - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. --- ### Really great to create a Dashboard from a SQL Server Datasource - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I was able to set up a Dashboard with Auto refresh from a SQL server really fast. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. --- ### Best bang for your buck - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We were able to replace our home-grown reporting tools with some Cluvio-built dashboards for a fraction of the engineering cost and nothing to maintain. Additionally, the insights we are able to give our clients is bringing us even more business! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons I wish there were a way to save color palette's do be used in multiple reports/dashboards --- ### Great to get up and running w/ a BI application quickly - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrew B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. --- ### Cluvio is a software very intuitive, easy to use and fast to setup. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Isabel M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used other for unspecified - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It has some really nice features like the filters and the data display types. #### Cons 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. --- ### super easy to use, support is immediate and very forthcoming, you will not be disappointed - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ivan K. - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. it helped massively improve insight into our data, we work with big data - we need to be able to see how different variables correlate over time and with "different perspectives" - creating dashboards with auto-updating graphs showing our data from different perspectives and seeing it all in one place helped us to figure out "hidden" connections between variables that would be else hard to spot, it helped us monitor all our "variables" over time, inspect and data-mine #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros excellent functionality - R integration rocks! live data previews when building the query help a lot, has a free version! dashboards can be shared or even embedded, EU-based company, very fast and helpful support even outside of business hours #### Cons could be cheaper but free version should get you started, sometimes lags, not sure if server or browser problem but with large amounts of data it becomes hard to use - very slow to respond, select count is limited to 5000 --- ### Great Business Intelligence Solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: TYLER F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This product allows you to easily create interactive dashboards using SQL queries. #### Cons There are some quirks in the SQL syntax if there is a complex expression used in the "WHERE" clause of query in conjunction with a custom filter. The online help center did not have any material on this, but customer support was able to quickly help me with the query. --- ### Some suggestions for the product - see cons section - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Steve H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. ANNOYING CAPTCHA #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros overall a very useful product I'd like to just give some feedback below ok, I take that back - WHY AM I HAVING TO GO THROUGH AN ANNOYING CAPTCHA to submit this????? #### Cons Please add the following: - Line number of SQL errors. We're unable to debug statement in Cluvio because all it says that an error occurred somewhere. This requires us to develop queries outside the tool and paste them in. - Format the filter bar area. The controls there are so small that it's not intuitive for end users to find them - Something is not right with how you process datetimeoffset values from the database. We're forced to do type conversions in our queries to get the recognized as dates. - The nav to get to a full page version of a report within a dashboard (where you can see all the records without that weird scrolling gesture) is not obvious. We spend a lot of time repeatedly training people to be able to do that. --- ### Great tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Mathieu A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Wholesale - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Very easy to set-up (on a MySQL database). Dashboard are clean and readable. #### Cons It lacks a few features, like the ability to ignore empty timeranges, or to draw a line charts over a barchart. I used Periscope data in the past and it was better on these, but probably more complex to use. #### Reasons for choosing Cluvio Cheaper --- ### Great company and product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sloan E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very responsive team, easy to use interface, adds a lot of value to my day-to-day as a Product Manager above using a SQL or Redshift workbench #### Cons They are a younger company so some features are yet to be build out like filters and robust styling, but i'm confident the team will tackle these items in the future. --- ### Simple and lightweight tool for real-time analytics - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mike R. - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is less expensive than competitors. Different roles and access for users is great. Visualization tools are also great. #### Cons It would be great to be able to extend SQL with additional functions, like loops.
