CloverDX Reviews

Easy to use. Very good and simple visualization tools. Great customer support.

no longer possible to buy a single design license, hence the total price may be expensive for small applications.

The capabilities to pull data from multiple sources, join them, and reformat them in a mostly visual way. The automation capabilities. The ability to provide on-demand web services to users. The ever-growing feature set.

The support service is great (they go above and beyond), but the one thing I do wish is there was the ability to get service in a timelier fashion, since currently support is only available from a time zone that is several hours ahead of CST where I am.

Data parallelism
Data services can be used to create web services
XML Writer

Jobflow components can only be used on server projects
Dictionary values cannot be embedded in SQL statements
Managing meta data within jobflow/graphs can be tedious (as compared to SSIS)
Not much documentation other than Clover documentation (when I Google CloverDX topics)

- Clover gives you complete control of the data so that you are able to take any data input and turn it into the required data output. It also gives you the ability to validate any data input. Also, its speed of processing from input to output is fantastic. Tasks which once took hours to do now take minutes!

- one thing - it would be good if it could handle more file types such as Word or pdf documents.

Stable, lot of connector, easy to use builder,

It does not have TCP socket connector, so in that case we need to use third party software which convert tcp socket stream to file example.

Using CloverDX was super easy once I got it all set up & going. I love how easy it is to customize things like settings, display, accounts, categories, and subcategories. It has definitely made my work life easier.

There should be a tutorial on the initial setup.

This is the first time I have used an ETL tool and having manually coded ETL's in the past, I am impressed by the versatility and scope of CloverDX and in particular the ease of reading and writing data from anywhere to anywhere. It has been a fairly steep learning curve but well worth it and the Clover training course helped immensely in understanding how to understand and leverage the features of the tool. I use Clover daily and would see little point going back to hand coding ETL's

Some of the more complicated components can take a bit of working out how and when to use them. A lot of the functionality requires the server component to be purchased which is an expensive option when only a few of the features would be needed e.g calling a graph as a service.

It has very well documented process to set up the application.
Customer Service is responsive.
UI is very easy to understand.

Password masking should be performed.

The ability to visually map out the pipeline with components

If possible, a documentation panel available in the gui so you don't have to go on the outside to get the requirements for certain functions.
