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.

Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively
RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user friendly aspect of the interface and flexibility of usage."
"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."
"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."
"I think the analytics are great."
"It is one of the best investments Barry University has ever made."
"Entrinsik Informer is a great solution."
"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."
"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."
 

Cons

"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."
"While not as robust as other platform/systems, informer could continue to expand its offerings in their dashboard offerings."
"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."
"Sometimes we think Informer is running slowly, but I suspect that has more to do with how we have it installed at our institution."
"I wish there was a cron expression for bi-weekly. This becomes problematic with payroll audits."
"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."
"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."
