Systems Analyst / Data Architect at a university with 51-200 employees
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I appreciate the scheduling, saving, quick launch and ease of sharing of reports."
"The user friendly aspect of the interface and flexibility of usage."
"Informer has been one of the best purchases we have made."
"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."
"Informer allowed the IT department to focus on other systems instead of retrieving the data."
"Once I became more familiar with the data and Java Script, I was able to build very nice reports."
"We use informer constantly; it is integral, it is vital, it is invaluable."
"The live excel function has been our most valuable as we can push out reports that program people can run anytime they want."
"In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."
"I use Location Analytics to identify rogue hotspots and find the last location of missing devices."
"If you can afford this solution, it's worth every dime in terms of what you get out of it."
"The pricing and licensing for Meraki are good, and I would rate it as a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"Technical support has always been very good."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."
 

Cons

"While not as robust as other platform/systems, informer could continue to expand its offerings in their dashboard offerings."
"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."
"We would like the ability to generate a report using multiple datasources."
"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"Sometimes we think Informer is running slowly, but I suspect that has more to do with how we have it installed at our institution."
"You have to know Java scripting for getting over hurdles. I wish it was more user friendly out of the box."
"My initial learning was a little rough."
"The big issue for us is that there is no way to cancel a report from the browser."
"My biggest complaint with Meraki Location Analytics is the lack of visibility into the back end. Everything we do is through a customer GUI, and there's limited access to CLI functions."
"The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive."
"The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."
"There are no specific areas for improvement as everything is working very well."
"The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
