Allot ClearSee Analytics turns big data into meaningful business intelligence for the decision-makers in your organization.
Network & Operations experts experts gain insight from visual reports and analysis of network traffic, online activity, and unusual traffic volumes, along with information regarding the causes. For example, real-time reports can show which applications and devices are consuming the bandwidth in a chronically congested cell, while historical analysis can be used to identify traffic trends and the effects they will have on network performance over time. Daily or weekly reports showing bandwidth consumption, usage volumes, Video and HTTP QoE, signaling traffic, average bitrates, sessions opened, and other vital statistics enable operators to identify problematic areas and better plan around them.
Marketing professionals gain the ability to quantify and characterize subscriber activity to assist with customer segmentation and service planning. For example, analysis of subscriber-application-device usage can be used to target customers most likely to respond to a service plan upgrade, thereby improving response rates and increasing customer lifetime value. Likewise analyzing video QoE for top apps per subscriber can be used to identify at-risk customers and to develop appropriate action plans to retain them. Using the system's flexible self-service approach, marketeers can build their own analyses, manipulate parameters on the fly, explore what-if scenarios and extrapolate future trends.
Executive Management gain from a consolidated view of their network business provided by report dashboards that summarize the key performance indicators they want to track. For example, subscriber usage statistics together with data from CRM and billing systems can be analyzed to examine ARPU from certain demographics or to track the adoption and performance of newly launched services in different locations. Web-based dashboards can be viewed on multiple devices from any location.

Interactive Dashboards
Allot ClearSee reporting dashboards make easy for stakeholders at all levels to understand and to visualize what the data is telling them. Reports in the dashboard are interrelated and interactive. Drilling down or changing the data fields of one report, instantly updates and refreshes the display of the other reports in the dashboard. In addition, individual reports and dashboards are easily customized by the user. Reporting dashboards are organized into four analytics domains that are of interest to every network operator – Network, Subscriber, Device, and Experience.
| Analytics Domains | Reporting Dashboards |
|---|---|
| Network | Real-time health, Congestion analysis, Busy Hour, Peak Period, Application usage/popularity, Signaling analysis, and more |
| Subscriber | App usage, Device usage, Content consumed, Tethering usage, Video and VoIP usage, QoE metrics,and more |
| Device | Data volume, App usage, Model vs. Model, 3G vs 4G, and more |
| Experience | Top content, Top consumers, Top publishers, Video and HTTP QoE per app/sub/device, and more |
Self-Service Data Mining
Allot ClearSee Self-Service is a powerful business intelligence tool that makes it easy for operations, engineering and marketing experts to mine the data that is relevant to them. With Allot ClearSee, you aren't limited to a predefined set of reports or a specific way to analyze data. As new requirements arise, or new data presents itself, the Self Service analytics module helps you model your questions and find answers to complex business problems such as discovering new market and service opportunities before the competition, or gaining insight on how to dramatically improve customer satisfaction and retention rates.
Efficient Source Data Export
Allot ClearSee efficiently exports modeled source data in standard formats or in customized file formats to external analytics applications and to other business intelligence systems. Export and refresh frequency is a configurable parameter. Likewise, as modeled data is loaded into the warehouse, it becomes immediately available for analysis via the Allot ClearSee Analytics application.
Visual, interactive dashboards make easy for stakeholders at all levels to understand what the data is telling them
While the Self-Service module is easy enough for anyone to use, it provides an excellent tool for experienced analysts who for the first time have access to source data that is more varied, detailed and accurate than ever before. Custom, ad hoc analyses and reports can be built without the need for software development or upgrade. Changes and what-if scenarios can be tested on the fly. This approach helps the operator find answers to specific questions, explore possible courses of action, and often discover problems and opportunities that were not anticipated.
Multiple Ways to Share
Dashboard and Self-Service reports may be shared with others via the GUI, and exported in a variety of formats, including Excel (plain text or with formatting), HTML, CSV file, and simple plain text. Moreover, report history lists and personal subscriptions keep relevant information available and easy to access.
Tight Security
Data privacy and integrity is a top concern for network operators. Allot ClearSee provides robust security settings that allow administrators to control access to the applications as well as use/view privileges to the data and to the different analytics tools. The system administrator controls the following security settings:
- Access Authentication controls login permissions
- Functional Privileges control the ClearSee functions that each user/group may use
- Object Permissions control the business objects that each user/group may use
- Data Security filters control which data each user/group may access or view
- Database Security controls direct access to the Allot ClearSee Data Warehouse
