User Testimonials
	Klipfolio Klips	Microsoft Power BI
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft Power BI is great for sales tracking, financial reporting, and real-time operations monitoring. It integrates data from multiple sources, creating interactive dashboards for better decision-making. However, it's less ideal for real-time big data processing, offline access, or when deep customization is needed. It works best for structured reporting but struggles with highly complex data models. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	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. Incentivized Parker O'Very Manager of Marketing Operations Read full review	It is great at taking in large amounts of data and housing it all. Microsoft Power BI is so user friendly and it's dashboards are very easy on the eye. The ease of sharing dashboards makes it great for use across a large company. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	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. Lisa Wester Email Marketing Strategist, Chief Engagement Officer & Founder Read full review	It would be easier for users could Microsoft Power BI and Excel used the same programming languages. Would like to see the online version of Microsoft Power BI be as powerful as the desktop version. Publishing a Microsoft Power BI file online and then having to save the file is somewhat redundant. Would like to export each page or chart as an image. Incentivized SM Sherri MacCheyne Director, Strategic Operations Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Microsoft Power BI is an excellent and scalable tool. It has a learning curve, but once you get past that, the sky is the limit and you can build from the most simple to the most complex dashboards. I have built everything from simple reports with only a few data points to complex reports with many pages and advanced filtering. David Jensen Operations Manager, Customer Success Read full review
Usability	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Takes a little bit to get used to it. Not natively intuitive but fairly straight forward to pick up. Also docking it a few points because you can create a really clean, simple UI in Claude very quickly that's faster than building all of this yourself in Microsoft Power BI. Incentivized TI Tanner Ingalls Data Product Manager & Data Scientist Read full review
Support Rating	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It is a fantastic tool, you can do almost everything related with data and reports, it is a perfect substitutive of Power Point and Excel with a high evolution and flexibility, and also it is very friendly and easy to share. I think all companies should have Power BI (or other BI tool) in their software package and if they are in the MS Suite, for sure Power BI should be the one due to all the benefits of the MS ecosystem.

Return on Investment	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. Incentivized Art Stiefel VP, Digital Strategy Read full review	We're still early in the adoption process at this company, but we've illustrated how bad data keeps us from being more productive. ~25% of a team's work week was dedicated to effectively cleaning up entries, but it was always seen as a normal to them.
