ClicData, the right tool for Effeciency

Pros

  • There are many widgets (charts and tables to use for dashboards). There is no limit to the number of dashboards.
  • Data synchronization is simple with their data connectors. Connect to Dropbox, SQL, Google Drive and more...
  • Each dashboard has its own live link that you can set to use forever or have it expire after a given set of time.
  • The flexibility of the product is key. Use of Azure for data storage and data connectivity to just about any type of data source is a big benefit.

Cons

  • I wish there were even more widgets for the dashboards such as calendar layouts.
  • It would also be nice to be able to query the back-end data using SQL Studio.
  • It would be nice to change data connections from the dashboard to dashboard even though they have the same fields and schema.
