Business Intelligence, reporting, data integration, ETL, data migration - everything is handled within one unified platform and highly scalable solution.
WebFOCUS goes beyond just dashboards. It's also used for operational reporting, making it crucial for mission-critical systems. In fact, a core strength is that it's not "just" a BI tool; it can be used to build complete applications. It is the best tool because of its all-in-one nature. Data integration, ETL, data migration, everything is handled within the same platform. Then, on the front end, it offers portals, reporting, distributed analysis, and more. For customers who have data in the right structure and right format, the WebFOCUS Designer tool is very powerful. It allows them to create self-service reporting applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are getting good support from my end of the picture."
"All features are very helpful and easy to use, and end users can see their data in more meaningful ways."
"The tool helps in planning and management, decision making and optimizing resources, analyzing data and coming up with an excellent report presentation."
"It is a versatile tool."
"Information Builders allows decision makers to harness the power of data to make strategic decisions that will advance the goals and objectives of the organization."
"Overall it is a user-friendly and powerful solution."
"The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."
"If IBI can make each release of WebFOCUS consistent, we don't have to make changes for each release, it will be very helpful."
"More access via end users without using reporting objects. Easy way to create charts and graphs for reporting to executive staff."
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."
"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."
"For WebFOCUS 8, it has been very trying to get used to new version."
"It would be nice to have it easier to embed native SQL. Release process in our set up is not the safest since it requires changing paths."
"When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with ten being expensive."
