Considered Both Products
Klipfolio Klips
Chose Klipfolio Klips
It was clear that Klipfolio had the edge in terms of the number of third-party connectors and templates available, allowing us to quickly be up and running with various API integrations and visually stunning designs in only an hour. It was a no-brainer for us, and we're glad we …
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Compared to other tools, Klipfolio is a more versatile one. These features allow us to create a dashboard that can incorporate data from several sources. In many

The responsive and friendly design of the website caught my attention first, after that I realized that the whole site is the same and it is very easy to enter the metrics of each site.
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Google Data Studio and Microsoft Power BI
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Klipfolio is a more flexible tool when we consider its many functions. These functions allows the us to create a dashboard which can combine multiple data sources. These combinations of data sources often provide deeper insights when compared with other visualization tools. …
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Not quite as close but a lot of the data one uses goes to Klipfolio. It would be great if they were to connected more seamlessly. Sometimes using the data in Google Sheets and Google Slides is the easiest option, despite corporate wanting us to use the program more.
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Klipfolio had by the far most user-friendly interface with the best visualization I found. The price was below average on the software I compared to when I first purchased Klipfolio back in 2018. Today I primarily use Microsoft Power BI, because it is part of the Microsoft …
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Over the years, I have been required to work with other platforms to collect and analyze data for a variety of ad agencies and clients that I have worked with. It really came down to a Goldilocks comparison where we consistently found that dashboard platforms were bloated with …
Chose Klipfolio Klips
I chose Klipfolio for its low-cost-of-entry, the easy to use designer/editor and multitude of data sources expecting to outgrow it 'someday', but have yet to encounter any significant limitations that would make me want to switch. Power BI and Tableau both have much larger …
Chose Klipfolio Klips
These and many other BI tools are the most direct competitors. I only have experience with Klipfolio and Tableau. Tableau is definitely more capable, but much more difficult to learn and use. Klipfolio is simple and really packs a punch for its simplicity. I have yet to run …
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Klipfolio had the best API. We could connect more MarTech with Klipfolio than any other BI tool we used. Klipfolio's API was also the most stable. We ran into connectivity issues with some of the competitors. The metrics wouldn't refresh because the API lost the connection …
Chose Klipfolio Klips

Klipfolio is certainly the best solution for dashboards. Compared to Power BI, Power BI is more of an analyst tool to build deep analysis and reports. Making and sharing dashboards in Power BI is a pain. Tableau is great but cost way more. Also, the skills needed to build …

Chose Klipfolio Klips
We used Redash before. It isn't as friendly, easy to use and with a great customer support as Klipfolio.

Klipfolio simply has way more features available that won't require you to hard-code.
Chose Klipfolio Klips
They are all based on a similar methodology (Excel) but I felt Klipfolio had better integrations and their support team has been the difference maker. For a company that needs some hand-holding and guidance, Klipfolio is the right choice.
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Klipfolio is much more user friendly and the staff is much quicker at response and will take whatever time is needed to figure out the solutions.
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Klipfolio is cloud-based, allows for customization, reliable, and intuitive. The competitors were all lacking in one or more areas.
Chose Klipfolio Klips
Klipfolio is the better choice, because they have a better price and upgraded flexible plans, many more data connectors, and a good support from the technical team. The Klip constructor is better in graphs, formulas and they have a "snippet code" for programmers. Works better …
Chose Klipfolio Klips
I have not personally tried any other products like Klipfolio, but based on my personal experience Klipfolio has a strong foundation for their platform and I feel its only going to get better over time as they grow. I would encourage people to give a few platforms a try and I …

Qlik Sense
Chose Qlik Sense
We use both Qlik Sense and QlikView. Both bring valué. However, due to simpler development Qlik Sense is the main tool.
Chose Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense cost of licensing is cheaper compared with other tools which always gives an upper edge in analytics industry with good functionality. More enhanced level of security with better user community group available to discuss about new updates. Understanding of Qlik Sense …
Chose Qlik Sense
We use Microsoft Power BI too as a BI tool, in my point of view, Qlik Sense's ETL is much better than PowerBi. In another side, PowerBI learning curve is small than Qlik Sense, especially the PowerBI Desktop.
Chose Qlik Sense
Kibana is data visualization tool in Elastic Stack to visualize and analyze Real Time Logs Capture.
It captures Live Streaming data and helps to detect any anomalies, error and bugs, monitoring aspects of any service/ IOT Device.
Chose Qlik Sense
The customization of the platform opens up plenty of other options depending on the use cases. The API layer is incredibly rich and makes integration of Qlik based visualization into web pages a simple and effective pattern. It's been very easy to use with a great community …
Chose Qlik Sense
Both are good data visualisation platforms; with certain applications where one is better than the other
Chose Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense offers a broad variety of functions that are not easily achievable using PowerBi. However, I was not involved with the selection.
Chose Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is a fast tool to implement; you can have a functional dashboard in a few days, and the ETL processes are quite easy to build it. You can have the ROI in a short period of time.
Chose Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense comes out as a superior product as well as more cost efficient than some of the other products we evaluated as a part of our Enterprise Business Intelligence stack. It offers unified view of our data and extensibility. Qlik Sense being the most interactive …
Chose Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is relatively cheaper and more futuristic
Chose Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is one of the best reporting systems. It is stronger than PBI and Tableau when speaking about complex KPIs. It is really similar to Microstrategy Analytics when you speak about obtained results, but it is easier to use, especially as it is more code-based. But is it …
Chose Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense can easily integrate multiple data models to visualize customer data. Tableau is easy to use—perhaps more manageable than Qlik—but expensive. Microsoft BI was chosen because it was similar to previously used
Chose Qlik Sense
We originally went with Qlik Sense because the desktop version used to be free for single users and was a very good proposition for us (we are a non-profit with a limited budget). However, from what I see, the functionality is comparable, and Qlik Sense stacks up well.
Chose Qlik Sense
As soon as you want to pull data from two or more separate tables, Qlik Sense leaves the rest in the dust, since it does not require joins or complex transformations. Zoho CRM analytics are limited to the data located in the product itself. No external tables can be combined.
Chose Qlik Sense
Other tools were not able to handle complex business requirements and performance was not too good with very huge volume data. we were required to maintain history, time-based data backups, and snapshots. Also, some of the tools were too costly compare to Qlik [Sense] solutions.
Chose Qlik Sense
We had a QlikView deployment and it made sense to utilize what was existing for our Qlik Sense use.
Chose Qlik Sense
When it comes to working with large datasets out of the box, Qlik in my opinion is unrivaled amongst the competitor. However, the overall user experience and customization options available to developers require a lot of work. When compared to other options on the market, …
Chose Qlik Sense
We thought we were getting a good (financial) deal. We had internal resources who were already familiar with Qlik.
Chose Qlik Sense
BI has some amazing features, but it requires a good understanding of DAX. It's not as user-friendly as Qlik Sense.

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.

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.
Read full review
  • Not a lot of room for customization as we were used to in QlikView
  • UI and default navigation can be very clunky and not user friendly
  • Although the backend is fantastic, the front end experience leaves a lot to be desired. As a developer you don't have a lot of options to customized your app unless you turn to Javascript, CSS and HTML. This is not a common stack you would find in most BI developers

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.

  • 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.

  • The impact has undoubtedly been positive, it is difficult to quantify it, however in terms of effectiveness or efficiency I give it a 90%.
  • I don't give it 100% because to use the complete package you have to pay, and it's not that cheap and on the other hand because it has some deficiencies, such as technical support and some issues like windows that are not so friendly and easy to work with.
  • Still, I can't stop using it.
