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.

Some things that could be improved in Oracle Analytics Cloud is definitely the way it works. In some cases, for example, if you want to create analytic functions such as the percentage of a measure over another, which is a straightforward question you might ask, it appears simple to do, but the result is not what you expect. I would make it more user-friendly in terms of creating new measures. The measure creation feature could be improved. In terms of functionality, there are not many functions that are completely missing. There is one aspect that if you compare it with Power BI from Microsoft, which works completely in memory and therefore puts everything in memory to allow many calculations on the fly on what is in memory, that is missing, but it is architecturally different and would not be possible to ask for something like that. Some time features and time series analysis functions could be improved. Calculating a year ago and previous period functions could definitely work with some improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informer allowed the IT department to focus on other systems instead of retrieving the data."
"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."
"It is one of the best investments Barry University has ever made."
"The user friendly aspect of the interface and flexibility of usage."
"I think the analytics are great."
"I appreciate the scheduling, saving, quick launch and ease of sharing of reports."
"We are using it for reporting purposes which is working much better than selecting from column prompt."
"Once I became more familiar with the data and Java Script, I was able to build very nice reports."
"I have found that the scalability quality of Oracle Analytics Cloud works extremely well."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data. I also like that the solution allows the user to decide what to measure and what to see in the reports."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"It's rather user-friendly."
"The product is easily customized."
"The solution is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"My initial learning was a little rough."
"I would like to be able to use fields from third file links which is right now limited and difficult."
"More integration with MS Office, better description of the fields and where and how they are used."
"The big issue for us is that there is no way to cancel a report from the browser."
"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."
"Sometimes we think Informer is running slowly, but I suspect that has more to do with how we have it installed at our institution."
"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly."
"It is expensive."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer."
