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.

The Briefing Book feature enables measures to be filtered and viewed based on different criteria by end users.
This software is targeted at executive users, not the data analysts who want to slice and dice. The software will not replace your BI tools, but it will sit nicely on top of a BI tool if you want management to have quick and easy access to performance data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We use informer constantly; it is integral, it is vital, it is invaluable."
"Informer is or has become our standard reporting tool for all systems."
"I appreciate the scheduling, saving, quick launch and ease of sharing of reports."
"Informer allowed the IT department to focus on other systems instead of retrieving the data."
"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."
"It is one of the best investments Barry University has ever made."
"I think the analytics are great."
"It is a comprehensive solution for performance management, and yet it is easy to setup and easy to use, especially in comparison with Oracle, SAS, Hyperion and SAP."
 

Cons

"You have to know Java scripting for getting over hurdles. I wish it was more user friendly out of the box."
"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."
"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"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."
"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."
"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
