Cluvio allows you to run SQL queries against your database, visualize the results as beautiful dashboards and share these dashboards within your company.
We have integrated an R engine in the pipeline, so you can run custom R script on the sql results to get combined power of SQL and R.
After working on Cluvio for 18 months, we launch today and would love to hear your feedback.

The market for data visualization tools is crowded and has gotten very competitive in the past year.
Specifically, how does Cluvio compare to Microsoft PowerBI? That also (already) has support for R, supports many more data sources, seems to be more polished/mature, and is a lot less expensive, it even has a free desktop version.
Product looks pretty cool. I'm curious as to what the limitations of the R integration are though. Do you allow for different packages to be installed or is that something your team manages?
We're playing with Google Data Studio, which has Google Spreadsheets and BigQuery support. How does this differ, assuming these integrations will be supported in the future?
I am not too familiar with all capabilities of the Google Data Studio, but from what I know they take a bit more the Tableau approach to defining data sources as results of queries (BigData, MySQL) or sheets data.
I'd say Cluvio would be a bit more fun to use for anyone who knows SQL, the ability to quickly iterate through sql queries to nail down the exact results is quite addictive. Plus the additional capabilities of R make it even more productive for lots of harder cases.
Thanks for the report - I actually noticed from spell checker (not being a native speaker) the other day that 'almanach' is not the most common spelling, but it is listed as an alternate spelling on wikipedia, so unless it obviously comes across as a typo we'd keep it (to perhaps make it sound more like a DnD spellbook ;-) )
I've already suggested this as a replacement for my company's Informatica/Salesforce/Custom reporting setup, which is a huge, confusing, and time-consuming mess, for something that's really not business critical. Looks to be a great balance of simplicity and power.
It is planned, yes.
We will add support for additional databases based on the demand of our customers, so you becoming one would likely make it happen earlier :)
I looked at the demo video, it didn’t appear to allow embedding of anything that R would output but rather just appended data that was manipulated within R back to the output of the original query.
Mode has python notebook integrated and can read in your queries as datasets and then embed whatever you render from python. You cannot modify the original data of the query within the python notebook and then use mode's stock visualizations from the data you created in python.
This is a pretty big difference between the two if I'm understanding it correctly.
The GUI/Dashboarding of this looks way better than mode.
I'm curious how Cluvio supports filters such as drop down menus, filters based on dynamic queries (vs. hardcoded), and supporting drop down filters with multi select. (Mode does these things very poorly, chartio does them pretty well).
There are some similarities conceptually (SQL-based analytics, use of R or Python to give additional capabilities).
There are more differences in the visualisation capabilities, user experience and pricing (esp. with larger number of business users that should make use of the analytics results, which are free in our case).
