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.

Data projects have grown rapidly and support complex analytics and quick dashboard delivery
Some things that could be improved in Oracle Analytics Cloud is definitely the way it works. In some cases, for example, if you want to create analytic functions such as the percentage of a measure over another, which is a straightforward question you might ask, it appears simple to do, but the result is not what you expect. I would make it more user-friendly in terms of creating new measures. The measure creation feature could be improved. In terms of functionality, there are not many functions that are completely missing. There is one aspect that if you compare it with Power BI from Microsoft, which works completely in memory and therefore puts everything in memory to allow many calculations on the fly on what is in memory, that is missing, but it is architecturally different and would not be possible to ask for something like that. Some time features and time series analysis functions could be improved. Calculating a year ago and previous period functions could definitely work with some improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Entrinsik Informer is a great solution."
"I think the analytics are great."
"Once I became more familiar with the data and Java Script, I was able to build very nice reports."
"We are using it for reporting purposes which is working much better than selecting from column prompt."
"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."
"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."
"It is one of the best investments Barry University has ever made."
"The user friendly aspect of the interface and flexibility of usage."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"The advanced calculations by the tool are highly effective"
"The product is easily customized."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
 

Cons

"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"I would like to be able to use fields from third file links which is right now limited and difficult."
"While not as robust as other platform/systems, informer could continue to expand its offerings in their dashboard offerings."
"I would like to see further development on customizability options in the dashboard module."
"The big issue for us is that there is no way to cancel a report from the browser."
"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."
"Sometimes we think Informer is running slowly, but I suspect that has more to do with how we have it installed at our institution."
"We would like the ability to generate a report using multiple datasources."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer."
"It is expensive."
"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
