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.

Has supported secure report building and simplified data visualization for non-technical users
The features I find most useful in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service include data visualization desktop for self-service reports. We can export using Excel and CSV files by dragging and dropping the columns to create reports. The drag-and-drop interface in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service helps create dashboards for non-technical users as it is easy to use. By dragging and dropping columns, it creates a tabular view by default. We can convert these into many graphs and views such as pivot tables and other interactive graphical representations. I use self-service analytics in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use informer constantly; it is integral, it is vital, it is invaluable."
"Entrinsik Informer is a great solution."
"Informer has been one of the best purchases we have made."
"Once I became more familiar with the data and Java Script, I was able to build very nice reports."
"The user friendly aspect of the interface and flexibility of usage."
"I appreciate the scheduling, saving, quick launch and ease of sharing of reports."
"Informer is or has become our standard reporting tool for all systems."
"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."
"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."
"The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable, and executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."
"This solution allowed us to consolidate information from the finance and supply chain systems into aggregate reporting, which had been very difficult to create in the past."
 

Cons

"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."
"While not as robust as other platform/systems, informer could continue to expand its offerings in their dashboard offerings."
"We would like the ability to generate a report using multiple datasources."
"More integration with MS Office, better description of the fields and where and how they are used."
"You have to know Java scripting for getting over hurdles. I wish it was more user friendly out of the box."
"I would like to see further development on customizability options in the dashboard module."
"I would like to be able to use fields from third file links which is right now limited and difficult."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"As an expert, I can recommend that improvements could be made in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service regarding cost."
"I didn't interact with them for this solution, but from a broader perspective, my experience with Oracle is that their tech support sits somewhere between low and fair."
"Some of the advanced analytics need work, and I believe there's an opportunity to improve or simplify the integration with data power users and data science users."
"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"Quality of support varies."
