User Testimonials
	Clear Analytics	Epicor Grow
Likelihood to Recommend	Clear Analytics has almost all the features which are mostly required by the organizations for their data analytics and transformation activities. Clear Analytics is built on the support of a parallel query engine which makes it handle large volume requests and also provides optimized results. However, every solution has some limitations, Clear Analytics lacks advanced features such as Predictive Analytics which is a very demanding feature in the market as most organizations are adopting AI/ML automation for their businesses. Also, it needs to add a lot of advanced visualizations so that the user has the choice of selection. Overall a good solution to be recommended. Incentivized PA Prateek Agarwal Technical Program Manager Read full review	Grow.com is well suited if you have a lot of data or client data to manage. If you do not have tons of data, there are other options out there that are a bit more simple and easy to use and a better price. Incentivized JP Johnny Pelter Client Relations Manager Read full review
Pros	Integrates directly with Power BI and Excel Helps wrangle, filter and visualize data Presentation of large data in a summarized manner Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I love the fact that you have a team of developers who can help me build metrics or fix metrics that I do not create properly. I had to learn SQL in order to really build the metrics that mattered, which was a lot of fun, but resulted in many broken metrics. The vendor's team was great in responding to me requests for help! Really, really appreciate the fact that Grow has SQL formulas to reference when building metrics. Again, as a novice, this accelerated my ability to learn and not have to leave your site and resources and stay within the Grow web properties. Great account managers who check in regularly and are willing to help out whenever needed. Incentivized Matthew Racz Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer \| Crowdfunding Advisor Read full review
Cons	For Charts and Graphs , getting the Power Point Deck would be helpful. As of now we use the data from Excel Reports Incentivized Salam Mohammed System Solution Architect Read full review	There are basic labeling issues with some of the graph types. Wish there was more customizability here, especially on complex graphs. Could help more with analysis of data and trends, but that's going into full-fledged BI territory. The functionality of being able to snapshot data isn't quite there. Incentivized Ian Nate Digital Marketing Operations Manager Read full review
Usability	I have really enjoyed working with Clear Analytics. This platform has contributed to increased production and reliable data control processes. It has flexible user interface that can be operated by any organization member. Reports are shared on simple and transparent way in the dashboard for easy access. Data analytics from all departments have created manageable working environment that have increased production. Incentivized Carter Halliday Marketing Manager Read full review	This tool is definitely a little bit difficult to be able to figure out at first, but after some time of learning you can definitely pick it up. I do wish there were more resources online that would be able to help speed up the learning process Incentivized GA Greg Alder Account Executive Read full review
Support Rating	Clear Analytics has very good team members in Consulting as well as in Customer Support. The support agents are capable of providing the required resolution of your queries in a timeline provides. They have a clear understanding of the product and its features, and they are friendly in nature. However, for some advanced or level 2/3-based queries, they required some more time to respond, which is ok. Incentivized PA Prateek Agarwal Technical Program Manager Read full review	The support team is very helpful and in every situation we have needed help in, they have been able to assist. So I have had a good experience with them Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	We didn’t choose this software because we found it didn’t adjust to what we really needed to do as a small business. Incentivized Carlos Begazo Sales Manager Read full review	Grow doesn't have as many advanced analytics features and other capabilities as some other 'dashboard' platforms on the market. Simply, if you want a tool for internal use only that has high-level analytics capabilities (regressions, completely custom visualizations, modeling), Grow probably isn't the platform for you. To put it another way, if you have a team of data engineers and scientists doing complex analysis, Grow might not make the most sense. However, if you understand the value of data/visualization/dashboards, but lack some of those skillsets in your company, Grow might be the perfect fit. Not only is it incredibly scalable and reasonably priced compared to other market solutions, but their transform capabilities really stand out. They have many native data transformations that mimic SQL coding of a dataset, without requiring any knowledge of SQL. They've converted these transformations to easy-to-use tools in the platform, which are perfect for the less-technical user. Incentivized Thomas (TC) Riley Director, Analytics Read full review
Return on Investment	Super useful to get started immediately Didn't have to rely on migrating data Easy to add members Easy to learn and build charts Incentivized Jitesh Dugar Senior Product Manager Read full review	Made it so much easier and faster to access data across tools Lessened the time exporting and uploading data to excel/sheets for analysis Made data and metrics more easily accessible to others in our orgs Incentivized Haleigh Doherty Demand Gen Ops Manager Read full review
