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.

Provides great flexibility in terms of data transformation
I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation. Workday introduced Prism Analytics mainly because many clients wanted to merge data from different systems and then work with it to get some insights out of it. For that, they previously used tools like Power BI. Workday Prism Analytics gives you the power to do all the data transformations within Workday itself without taking out crucial data to a third system. I really like the way Workday has enabled Prism Analytics to be that one solution where you can bring everything. It also provides you the flexibility that things like the security model of Workday are still in place. You don't have to redo your security configuration if you do the data transformation outside Workday.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is one of the best investments Barry University has ever made."
"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."
"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."
"Informer is or has become our standard reporting tool for all systems."
"The live excel function has been our most valuable as we can push out reports that program people can run anytime they want."
"We use informer constantly; it is integral, it is vital, it is invaluable."
"The customer service and support are pretty good."
"The solution is stable and reliable, with minimal issues affecting its performance."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation."
"The product is easier to use compared to other applications."
 

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."
"You have to know Java scripting for getting over hurdles. I wish it was more user friendly out of the box."
"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"My initial learning was a little rough."
"While not as robust as other platform/systems, informer could continue to expand its offerings in their dashboard offerings."
"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."
"More tutorials and free training would be great."
"There is not much flexibility in how we can add external data within Workday Prisma Analytics."
"The visualization techniques must be upgraded."
"When you create certain objects, a lot of the time, the fields are text. They’re not numeric, date, or any other field type"
"One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded."
"It is not a very scalable product."
