    Klipfolio probably had a lot of cool features, but it was SO user-UNfriendly that we never got to use them. We had high enough turnover in our company that people always needed Klipfolio training, and it was rarely completed to the satisfaction of trainees or trainers. It was …

    These other reporting tools are much better for an agency that is under the scrutiny of cleaner reports with more in-depth analytics and specific KPI's. However, you can use both and provide a Cyfe board as a live additional to the weekly static reporting that many agencies …

    Sprout has better reporting for social analytics but doesn't cover as many activities across a company and the reports are only for social...not even web analytics. It's also way more expensive. We're actually evaluating whether or not Cyfe will continue to be our tool of …

    My company already subscribed to Cyfe when I began, so for me there wasn't any shopping around. While Cyfe does pull straight from the "back end" side of many social media platforms, or from Google Analytics for websites, the benefit is that you can see all the stats in one …

    Cyfe is cheaper than Geckoboard; and I believe (??) has more integrations you can pull data from. I liked Geckoboard a tad better visually.

    We used RavenTools in the past as our monthly reporting tool. At the time there wasn't a one-page dashboard available in RavenTools, every single element we incorporate in our reports was included on a separate page. It became very unwieldy for our clients and led to a lot of …

    Compared to other tools like Jasper Reports, Cyfe has ZERO impact on the server since it is a totally hosted solution, plus it has several connectors that allow for interacting with no coding at all. It gives the user total freedom on which language to use to provide custom …

    We were using different tools to do pieces of what Cyfe does. I was never keen on the idea of spending $150, $200, or even $500+ for an analytics tool so we were pulling analytics directly from each source and creating our own reports. It was a beast of a project to manage and …

    Remember that Cyfe is not a true Business Intelligence tool it is a data visualization tool. It is great because it let's you change the time series. It will not let you drill down on the data. You cannot map different data sets together. It is a great tool to pull basic data …

    The price was a big selling point but more importantly the third-party integrations that are offered were the deciding factor. Offering support for services that we use regularly like Google Analytics, Apple's iTunes Connect, Facebook, etc., allow us to get real time access to …

    I investigated a number of options for a digital dashboard, to be honest Cyfe was so much cheaper than the alternatives I was a bit sceptical, but it was so much better once I had mastered adding data sources.

    Domo was vastly overpriced compared Cyfe and it was far less friendly to use and get used to. I was able to jump right in with Cyfe and get the data I wanted setup right away. When I had a question I was able to get an immediate response directly from Deven without hesitation. …

    Cyfe might be for you if you are looking for a cost-effective way to display all of your marketing metrics in one place. If you are looking for a detailed, fine-tuned, niche, or extremely specific metrics, this might not be the best solution. Cyfe is good for a general health check-up of marketing, but not a finely tuned examination.

    Pros
    Traject
    • Has preset metric groups that pull similar stats together in one "bucket" saving you the time of setting up each stat-line one by one
    • Allows you to easily adjust the timeframe for what stats you want to see, so you can find YOY stats or just last month's stats rather quickly
    • Colored visualizations of stats make it easy to notice when campaigns are taking off

    Cons
    Traject
    • I'd love to see additional functionality to customize colors. The light/dark option is very nice, but a little more flexibility in the colors would go a long way, especially if it was possible at the dashboard level rather than just the account level. Along the same lines, being able to customize the charts a little more, for example being able to show an x-axis on single data type graphs, could make them easier to read in some cases.
    • Being able to choose to report on converted clicks or conversions in AdWords would be helpful.
    • Needs the ability to show the date range on the shared URL dashboards. Would be even better if the date range was adjustable on that view, too.

    It has become a part of our internal tools so unless a competitor comes out with similar functionality as a similar price point it is unlikely that we would not renew. One area that would cause us not to renew would be if a competing service came out with more third-party integrations that match our needs. Price at this point is no longer an issue as it would allow us to automate a somewhat manual process that we have now connecting Cyfe widgets to Google Sheets.

    I gave it a rating of 7 because it does a good job at what it does, but there are missing that are missing which I would have benefited from. For instance, if I was able to drill down more on the specific metrics I was able to see, that would have been helpful.

    Because I had a very minor question and I was able to speak directly to the founder through LinkedIn and through email. I know that as they grow this may not always be an option but the fact that he made himself available to answer my questions said a lot about his passion for the product.

    Cyfe is a 15 minutes implementation, then some time to get your data sources created. This is an easy one person job that will not result in down time or unnecessary wasted man hours.

    The Salesforce dashboard is comparably flexible and intuitive, but designed more to its internal CRM focus. SumAll shares the social media dashboard capabilities, but lacks all others. Its interesting feature is side-by-side graph analysis for cross-channel performance. Cyfe might borrow from SumAll's default weekly email summary of performance from the dashboard, but implementation could be too complex. Nuvi dashboard is exclusively for social media marketing, but lacks Cyfe's flexibility for third party integration and window customization settings.
