Klipfolio Software

Pros

Great visualisation tool, excellent customer service, continuous improvement of the tool by their team, always happy to help and to support which is great! It is very easy to learn as they provide lots of videos and articles which support the learning process.

Cons

The learning curve was quite high at the beginning and sometimes feels like you won't get there but at the end you do and it feels amazing.
Some product features still further development like versatility in design, formatting and so on.

Pros

The vast array of choices to connect to. Helpful support staff. Much better than other alternatives we have used in the past.

Cons

Learning the Klipfolio formula language can be challenging. Some data sources can be difficult to connect to, which is not necessarily Klipfolio's fault.

Pros

Data visualization is unparalleled compared to other softwares I've used for the same purpose, such as Domo

Pros

Simple to use once setup. Has the ability to receive real time updates. Great for tracking various aspects of your business.

Cons

Cannot be built by a "layman" and requires CS experience. I've also had some issues with updating certain fields. Overall great product!

Ease of reporting and tracking of metrics.

Pros

The customer service is the really great and the level of customization ensures that you can make any dashboard you could think of.

Cons

Some features are less intuitive as one would like, especially if they are not used every day. It also loads slowly even if the Internet is great.

Pros

The ease of connecting to different data sources makes this product stand out to me. It comes with many built in connections and if your data source isn't supported, there are still other options you can use to set up a custom connection.

Cons

Some of the dashboard creating features are limited. I think that as time goes on, they will add more features and fill in some holes.

Pros

The first and great thing about Klipfolio it's the Courses feature. It help me to decide to use this product and to take advantage of the functionalities of it. Great dashboard options and the possibility to intregrate the data that you already had.

Cons

If you have a lot of visual dashboard it can be a bit slow to load. Not user friendly it´s more prepared to high level users.

Custom reporting for clients that are highly customized and save me time every month.

Pros

The amount of features and how customizable everything is. Most services lock you into their pre-made elements, and, although Klipfolio offers those, my love for it comes from how much control I have over the design aspects.

Cons

Not a whole lot bad to say. At times it can be slow and take awhile for things to load, but that is more on the fact that my dashboards typically have a lot of visualizations so naturally they will take while to load.

Awesome looking dashboards in the office and better awareness of our business metrics.

Pros

The customer service is the best you can find in the dashboard industry and the level of customization ensures that you can make any dashboard you could think of.

Professional easy to built dashboards. Ideal for reporting, performance overview and presentations. A lot of prebuilt dashboards and easy integrations with many analytics tools.

Pros

reporting, pre built dashboards, easy integrations

Cons

Requires some time to get to learn how tool works

Advice to Others

highly recommending

Easy to use, automatization of reports and nice visualization! Thanks them we are using our data daily.

Pros

Klipfolio is dynamic and you can start building your visualization in almost no-time. I was looking for a solution for our business overview dashboards, which is affordable and give us a possibility to start building our dashboards as soon as possible. We needed cloud/online solution without installation, which has Postgre database integration - that's we have got with Klipfolio. One more feature to mention - it's pretty good, that you have plenty of pre-built visualization and dashboards (you would appreciate that, especially if you are online marketing agency, or building dashboards for your online business using Google Analytics, Facebook, Facebook Ads or other data sources)

As I mentioned at first paragraph - we are building our business overview dashboards. Basically, dashboards for CEO and whole team how are business is doing in terms of KPI which we choose and measure over the time. Benefits - quick way from start to first viz, affordable and many pre-built viz and dashboards are main benefits which we really appreciate!

Cons

My main problem was with Klipfolio date filters. I have been struggling with them for a while, but then guys at Klipfolio help me out during our onboarding call. But they are doing best to get it better with every release!

Ease of seeing digital marketing data and provide the reports to other stakeholders.

Pros

Pull various data source into something meaningful.
Great to get overview data to our staff and see that everything is working.

Cons

I'm not much of a programmer so combining data sets formulas is tough.
Would like to see something like a drag and drop which can place like a 'compare y-o-y'.

I've created dashboards I use myself as well as others to present with our executives, raising our departments profile.

Pros

Very flexible. I can build klips and dashboards with multiple data sources. Very easy to connect to data sources using the built in connectors. Data can be real time. No need to export then import static data.

Cons

Some things are a little less intuitive than I would like, particularly if you don't do them regularly. I would like more in-depth.

It's great at communicating insights from data within teams.

Pros

The numerous options to link datasources and the ability to use "ready made" Klips and totally customized visualisations.

Cons

Currently, they're becomming a victim of their own success as load times tend to become longer. Hope they will fix this in the next months.

This software has allowed us to show out C level team data in a way that is easier for them to understand in a fast and clear format.

Pros

Their customer support is outstanding and if you get stuck with their product or need some help with a klip, they're more than helpful! The team goes above and beyond for their users!

It has greatly helped us visualize our data, goals, and overall performance.

Pros

Various connections with data sources possible, which makes it great for combining data from these data sources. For example, we can combine FB campaign data with analytics statistics (like sessions, transaction ID etc.) by matching the campaign name.

Cons

Some actions take time as there are no easier ways developed yet (but they are in development), like copying settings between table columns

Pros

The versatility and the many connection options. I've been able to connect to almost every single data sources that I came across, and the handling thereof is superb.

Cons

A couple of inconsistencies in the frontend but nothing deal-breaking. The product generally delivers what it promises.

Visibility for the whole team on KPIs

Pros

The ease of use - lots of ready-made templates etc. to use. When creating from scratch, the interface is pretty easy to understand - yet it allows for fairly complex designs. Graphics and layouts are handled "automatically" and looks great.

Cons

Missing a few connectors to the software we use so I had to do some "middleware" with Excel and ODBC. But it was quite easy, so no big issue!

Easy insight into stuff from lots of sources

Pros

Data sources can be pulled from almost anywhere. For every hurdle you encounter (e.g. paginated, or date-based queries) there is a recipe ready to follow.
The output (the dashboard) looks very pretty and can be tuned in almost any way you want.

Cons

Click, click, click.. As much as I like the interface, it's a hell of a lot of clicking. I vastly prefer typing to configure stuff. Making a dashboard and configuring data sources can be very time consuming. Not difficult, but it just takes a long time

Great sending of dashboard print every evening

Pros

Nice dashboards, fast to start easy klips. Formulas share the same logic as for example MS Excel does so it is fast to learn. Very good way to connect datasets. multiple data sources possible

Cons

10MB limt for datasets - we are reaching it quite fast. Also sometimes the formulas can get very complicated when repeating the same constraints over and over inside subparts of formula.
