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.

The Briefing Book feature enables measures to be filtered and viewed based on different criteria by end users.
This software is targeted at executive users, not the data analysts who want to slice and dice. The software will not replace your BI tools, but it will sit nicely on top of a BI tool if you want management to have quick and easy access to performance data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once I became more familiar with the data and Java Script, I was able to build very nice reports."
"Informer allowed the IT department to focus on other systems instead of retrieving the data."
"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."
"Informer is or has become our standard reporting tool for all systems."
"It is one of the best investments Barry University has ever made."
"Entrinsik Informer is a great solution."
"Customer Service: The customer service is great any issue is resolved in a timely fashion."
"I think the analytics are great."
"It is a comprehensive solution for performance management, and yet it is easy to setup and easy to use, especially in comparison with Oracle, SAS, Hyperion and SAP."
 

Cons

"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"We would like the ability to generate a report using multiple datasources."
"I wish there was a cron expression for bi-weekly. This becomes problematic with payroll audits."
"I would like to be able to use fields from third file links which is right now limited and difficult."
"I would like to see further development on customizability options in the dashboard module."
"More tutorials and free training would be great."
"The big issue for us is that there is no way to cancel a report from the browser."
"My initial learning was a little rough."
"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
