Our overall experience has been great. We use this service for several of our clients

We use this software as our inventory database for all of our clients.

We use this software as our inventory database for all of our clients.

Pros

The two positives are the software itself being so easy to use and the people at Valicom. The software is very simple and flat allowing us to find any inventory item in under a minute, no matter the information a client provides us. On top of that, the customer support we get from the Clearview team is amazing. They always go above and beyond to provide us what we need.

Cons

Reporting is always a challenge with any platform. The canned reports are excellent, and Valicom will assist with custom reports. But every customer wants to see the reporting different. I wish we had a report builder, but otherwise, no limitations on the reporting itself.

Reasons for Choosing Clearview

Their software was not useful (data was not even imported correctly) and they had no process to assist the customer. I had to do all of the work.

Reasons for Switching to Clearview

Clearview met ALL of our SOW criteria. This is a GREAT portal for us.

For the most part I've been very happy with Clearview and wish we had our global invoicing run through it. I'd like to see some tweaks along the way to make it more customizable for easy viewing and approvals, but those are minor adjustments.

As a very minor note, I would like to see the interface updated to something a bit more modern looking. It always feels like I'm basically opening an old excel file or access database. Which works great, but could use some spiffing up.

Pros

I like the easy access to view all my sites, accounts, invoices, and past payments along with flexible reporting. It's great to view actual scans of past invoices and see payment variations month to month by amount and percentage.

Cons

Some areas of the software don't give me all the columns I'm looking for. For example, reviewing invoices requires me to open each one to find what site it's for instead of letting me add the site name column to the main review page. Some of the reporting isn't as customizable or intuitive as I would like.

Response from Valicom

Thank you for the review, Joey! We are so happy to hear how much Clearview has assisted your invoice review process. To review the invoices with your preferred columns, please feel free to contact your dedicated Project Manager to request a custom report and they would be happy to work with you! Also, we have something in the works to dazzle, coming in the new year - stay tuned!

Pros

Clearview is very flexible, customizable, and efficient. Great solution for both IT and AP teams looking to control spend and manage IT inventory

Cons

Would have liked more interoperabiity and email reminders and notifications on tasks and issues, as well as a mobile app

Response from Valicom

Thank you for your kind review of our Clearview platform! We carefully listen to all the feedback we receive as this is invaluable for us to improve our software.

Did you know that you can set reminders for both Tasks and Issues inside Clearview? For either, simply click the Reminders subsection (smaller tab beside the main tab) and select the date you wish to be reminded of the Task or Issue. We'd be glad to walk you through the setup if you need any advice or best practices for configuring reminders! :)

Great customized reporting

Reviewed on 2019/07/10

Pros

Other than the large savings that I have seen from Clearview, I am also very pleased with the customized reporting. The generic reports dashboard gives me the important information I would like to see on a daily bases. The customized reporting is good when I need to take a deeper dive to see exactly where my budget is being spent for the week, month, or year. I can literally have reports generated for anything. I also want to note that the team is always very responsive and wonderful to work with.

Cons

Nothing to comment at this time. I have not had any issues to date.

Response from Valicom

Thank you for the positive review, Brittany!

Reviewed on 2018/07/12

Pros

For anyone familiar with Windows-based applications the tool is very easy to use. The module layout makes it easy to navigate to all pertinent information, and cross-reference data sets quickly. My staff is able to manage all technology expense related actions for our clients. Our auditors, account managers, and analysts have a single platform to support our finance, IT, and procurement clients. Client and software support is also excellent.

Cons

Further enhancement can be made to reporting and analytics. Although all of the relevant information is present to be exported, more can be done around executive reporting.

Clearview is a tremendous tool to control Telecom Spend

Reviewed on 2021/01/13

Pros

You own your data, and manage your spend, in one of the most complicated spend categories out there

Cons

I would appreciate a rest API to interoperate with other solutions, but was able to accomplish this in different ways through report export-import functionality

Clearview saved us a lot of time and frustration when centralizing invoices for telecom services and also switching to a new global ERP platform which included the transition to a new accounting system and associated cost center coding. The extensive list of options available in Clearview allows for easy access to updated inventory detail from different perspectives in the database and to run standard or customized reports when needed. Valicom's experienced team was very professional and proficient during and after the surprisingly painless setup process . The invoice data is always loaded right away which fortunately opened us up to using the optional bill payment service - a significant added benefit. With less time spent tracking down information and dealing with billing issues, there is now more time to work on strategic projects and activities. I would highly recommend this solution for anyone looking for a better way to manage and optimize telecom services and related costs. Better visibility of our services and billing trends continues to make the already reasonable cost of this tool less and less as time goes on.

Valicom brings so much telecom expertise to the table. Their knowledge means that we can lean on them for more than just invoice processing and payment. We can rely on Valicom to investigate new technology and wireless services which frees up our internal team. Another value we derive from the relationship is the cost savings of having dedicated experts reviewing our invoices each month and making suggestions for optimization.

Pros

Streamlined workflows and automating the process which definitely save a lot of time while keeping the inventory updated and reducing errors.

Cons

The reports or dashboard created in clearview might be limited when comparing to other BI tools such as PowerBI.
