Informer empowers end-users with the tools to retrieve their data quickly and efficiently
Customer Service: Excellent. Every case I've opened with them, or phone call I have had have been more than helpful. It is clear they care both about my needs as a customer and their product. Technical Support: Excellent. Each question I've asked, intelligent or not, has been met with the same level of professionalism and expertise. I always feel they will come to some resolution if possible and they do.

Daily transcription has boosted my productivity and made spoken input replace manual typing
The best features Hex offers are simplicity and being really lightweight. Simplicity and being lightweight are valuable for me because it just works, making my day easier. I would also add that Hex is free, which is a nice feature. Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity. My productivity improved because before I started using Hex, I was typing everything and it was taking longer than just saying the same things. I have cut my working day by a few minutes every day because of that.

Pros

"The user friendly aspect of the interface and flexibility of usage."
"The return on investment is immeasurable, as we have empowered more employees than ever with report creation and our faculty are very excited to be able to manage and gather data previously unavailable to them to help guide their decisions."
"Once I became more familiar with the data and Java Script, I was able to build very nice reports."
"Our organization uses Informer extensively, and because of the easily understandable UI, end users are able to retrieve their own data with little or no IT support."
"Informer has been one of the best purchases we have made."
"Informer is or has become our standard reporting tool for all systems."
"We use informer constantly; it is integral, it is vital, it is invaluable."
"Normally programs can take as long as 6 weeks during its review and approval of new release packages to the colleges, and the Informer product allows the easy flow in the approval process, especially with the incorporation of the Import and Export Packaging feature, which allows for a developer within one environment to share their reports to other developers in a different mapping of files and fields environment, saving time and the possibility of errors during conversion."
"Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity."
"Hex offers excellent features that make it fast and easy to use."
 

Cons

"I wish there was a cron expression for bi-weekly. This becomes problematic with payroll audits."
"My initial learning was a little rough."
"More tutorials and free training would be great."
"You have to know Java scripting for getting over hurdles. I wish it was more user friendly out of the box."
"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"More integration with MS Office, better description of the fields and where and how they are used."
"The security features are a bit ubiquitous. I appreciate the vast levels of security, but it can be a bit overwhelming in trying to set up."
"I would like to see further development on customizability options in the dashboard module."
"Hex can be improved if they could implement new models because there are new LLMs appearing on a weekly basis, and they are still using the same one."
