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

"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."
"We use informer constantly; it is integral, it is vital, it is invaluable."
"Customer Service: The customer service is great any issue is resolved in a timely fashion."
"Informer allowed the IT department to focus on other systems instead of retrieving the data."
"We are using it for reporting purposes which is working much better than selecting from column prompt."
"Once I became more familiar with the data and Java Script, I was able to build very nice reports."
"The live excel function has been our most valuable as we can push out reports that program people can run anytime they want."
"Informer has been one of the best purchases we have made."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"The product is able to compare with other tools on the market; it has everything you need, everything you can find in other tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and additionally, it has history, so you get a robust solution with support."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"Depending on the needs of business to business, but as far a visualizations are concerned, this is a good product."
"It's really an enterprise solution. It has a dashboard, like standard dashboarding functionality. It also has reporting capabilities for producing pixel-perfect reports, bursting large volumes of a document if you need to. It has interactive data discovery functionality, which you would use to explore your data, bring your own data, and merge it with maybe the data from an enterprise data warehouse to get new insights from the pre-existing data. It has machine learning embedded in the solution. If you're new to machine learning, it's a really good way to get into it, because it's all within this platform, and it's really easy to use."
"The technical support services are good."
 

Cons

"My initial learning was a little rough."
"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."
"I would like to be able to use fields from third file links which is right now limited and difficult."
"More tutorials and free training would be great."
"While not as robust as other platform/systems, informer could continue to expand its offerings in their dashboard offerings."
"I wish there was a cron expression for bi-weekly. This becomes problematic with payroll audits."
"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"Enterprise customers shy away from purchasing Oracle Analytics Cloud and prefer competing solutions from Tableau and Microsoft."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"It is expensive."
"One of the major issues is that Oracle Analytics Cloud is not user-friendly, requiring skilled people with proper certifications to work with it successfully."
"I looked at the predictive analytics feature in Oracle Analytics Cloud, but I used it very little because, everything considered, it does not add very much."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."

"I don't know the exact cost, but its pricing was good. Its pricing was competitive. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"It is an expensive platform."
