Cumul.io Erfahrungen

Vorteile

1) Simplicity
Cumul.io offers a simple workflow offering only two views: datasets - where you add or alter the data; and dashboards - where you create stunning drag & drop dashboards. As a responsible for the product, I am focused on creating an easy to use dashboard for our customers. As a non-technical user I find it easy to create a custom dashboard that my technical colleague finalizes.

2) Security features
As we are involved with treating sensitive data, we value a robust & technically secure solution. The cumul.io authentication system allows us to ship a product knowing that each customer will see its own data and that everything is behind closed doors, as it should be.

3) Customer support
The direct connection with the support team is beyond incredible. I wish other companies would take a look at their workflow to become half as good as Cumulio :).

Nachteile

1) Visual features
Visual features could be improved, although the product is improving with every update. It goes for both using texts, sizing etc as for graphs which are sometimes too limited. On the positive side: this is clearly improving.

2) Copy paste
Using copy paste between different dashboards is non existing. This makes it sometimes frustrating to re-create something in a dashboard, knowing you have done it before already. It does not happen that much luckily ;).

Vorteile

A lot of value for good price, customer support is excellent!

Nachteile

Some features in the dashboards should be added, but cumul.io is adding new features from time to time.

Vorteile

Two things: Ease of use and white label option

Nachteile

The need to use insert CSS to pretty up dashboards

Vorteile

I like the easy start, when you use it the first time you really feel like: I can do anything. I also like the Academy, that's a great recourse.

Nachteile

However, the longer I'm using the platform the more options and features I am missing. On thing for an international SAAS company is currency, right now we can't show any currency or languages on our charts, as this is nog available as a variable. The edits you havo to do for each screensize are also something that take time, because the "guesses" that the system does itself are often of a very low standard. I feel limited in the usage because of this, and sometimes don't feel like diving into the software again. We have been struggling with the sharing and linking options as well. Conclusion: Might look easy but is still a lot of work.

Vorteile

The ease of use and the very small learning curve made it possible to jump right into visualizing the data. Cumul.io's user interface is also very simple and nice to look at, but Cumul.io is not only a pretty face, it also has the brains. It is also very easy to implement and and imbed into our solution.

Nachteile

It can be too simple in some cases. When you as a business analyst want to add more measurements and compare it to each other on a percentage basis, Cumul.io does not have that feauture of adding two y-axis to a graph. I fully understand why they are not willing to do it, as it goes against their simplicity culture, but the feature will be really handy.

Vorteile

Possibility of integration in own platform
Easy to use without any IT/coding experience

Nachteile

Not applicable until now
Or it would be the possibility to add some functionalities to the dashboarding (e.g. clear all filters with one click), but those are just minor remarks
On a macro level, an evolution towards machine learning and AI through the cumul.io tools would be a big evolution and USP for cumul.io

Vorteile

It's easy to use, you'll have a great dashboard in minutes. You can create comprehensive dashboards with a lot of functionality.

Nachteile

Its just extra usabality that would be nice. Flexibility, sometimes you would like to adjust things manually like dimensions of charts. Overlay of elements. Text with variables.

Vorteile

Simple effort, great results. schedule export.

Nachteile

no time stamp of the last sync. not possible to exclude days in the export ( saterday & sunday)

Vorteile

Cumul.io's interface makes it really easy for anyone to build powerful reports. It's quite simple to create good naming conventions and functional layouts.

Nachteile

The functionality to create mobile views could be optimized, it's very basic right now.

Vorteile

The visual appearance of the product was the best that we found and looks incredibly modern

Nachteile

The solution has a huge amount of features, which at time can sometimes make it difficult to find what you need

Vorteile

Plug and play, drag and drop dashboars for everyday use. Even your local farmer can handle this!

Nachteile

In the beginning the runtime was not that fast but recently we have had lightning speed on the dashboard

Vorteile

I like all the designs of the charts. There are a lot of filters and types of charts to match all posible situations. You can also connect to many interfaces of databases or web services like MySQL, Google Drive, etc. If you want to add dashboards to your application easily, Cumul.io is a great option.

Nachteile

If you want to integrate Cumul.io to your own API, there are situations where this could be a bit difficult, for example, when you have a complex data structure and you need to pass context parameters from Cumul.io. In this cases, you should contact their support, and they will attend you quickly.

Vorteile

- The integration was super-easy.
- The Cumul.io team is always available for any questions and they go out of their way to help us.
- There are a lot of options to visualise data. You can drag and drop graphs and data and it is highly customizable.

Nachteile

Nothing major. I really love the tool. If I had to name one thing, I would say: add more elaborate Google Ads connector.

Vorteile

Ease of setting up.
Seamless integration into our app.

Nachteile

Looking for more powerful charts - especially to be able to combine more than one data source onto a single chart.

Vorteile

Easy to use. Fast set-up of dashboards. Different visualizations.

Nachteile

When you synchronize for different screen sizes, you have to move every object in the smartphone size. There is no logical order there.

Vorteile

Very easy and intuitive to use, but does not give you any constraints. The customer support is also really great when it comes to dedicated support!

Nachteile

Bit pricey once you need all the features.
